“…Moreover, the extracts used herein were not irritating and were standardized in BU and, therefore, false-positive reactions were more unlikely to occur, in contrast to extracts standardized in PNU or w/v. T. putrescentiae is the most common storage mite found in samples of house dust in Brazil (Binotti et al 2001). Although the presence of this species in the habitat of the allergic dog has not been properly evaluated in Brazil, the results of the present study highlight the importance of including storage mite extracts in the set of allergens used in the city of Rio de Janeiro for the diagnosis of CAD.…”

“…Brazil is a tropical country where the relative humidity and annual average temperature are around 70% and 27°C, respectively. These conditions are highly suitable for the growth of house dust mites and the most commonly genera found in Brazil belong to the families Pyroglyphidae, Glycyphagidae, Cheyletidae, and Acaridae (Binotti et al 2001).…”

“…House dust mites, particularly Dermatophagoides farinae (DEF) and D. pteronyssinus (DEP) (family Pyroglyphidae), are the main allergens responsible for immediate hypersensitivity in dogs, affecting 30 to 100% of dogs with CAD (Randall et al 2003). Mites of the family Glycyphagidae, particularly Blomia tropicalis (BLO), are frequently found in homes of tropical and subtropical areas and are often the predominant house dust mite species (Binotti et al 2001). Some antigens of this species are recognized as an important cause of allergic reactions in humans, but their role in CAD is still unknown.…”

O objetivo do presente trabalho foi identiϐicar proteínas alergênicas presentes em extratos de Dermatophagoides farinae e Blomia tropicalis através de "immunoblotting" utilizando-se soros de animais alérgicos e conjugado anti-IgE canina. A análise por "immunoblotting" dos antígenos presentes no extrato de D. farinae (FDA Allergenic), utilizando soros de dez animais alérgicos, mostrou que oito soros reconhecem uma banda com peso molecular de aproximadamente 102 kDa; oito soros duas bandas entre 52 e 76 kDa; cinco soros uma banda com aproximadamente 76 kDa; quatro soros uma ban- House dust mite antigens have been used for decades to diagnose allergic diseases in humans and animals. The objective of this study was to identify allergens in commercial Dermatophagoides farinae and Blomia tropicalis extracts by immunoblotting using sera from allergic dogs and anti-dog IgE conjugate. The analysis of antigens present in the D. farinae extract (FDA Allergenic) using sera from 10 dogs allergic to D. farinae showed that eight sera recognized a band of approximately 102 kDa, eight recognized two bands of 52 to 76 kDa, ϐive recognized one band of approximately 76 kDa, four recognized one band of 31 to 38 kDa, and two recognized one band of 12 to 17 kDa. Immunoblot assays of the B. tropicalis extract (FDA Allergenic) using sera from 10 animals allergic to B. tropicalis showed that ϐive sera recognized two bands of 52 to 76 kDa. These results demonstrate the importance of the two house dust mite species for the pathogenesis of canine atopic dermatitis in Brazil. In addition, the results indicate which allergens should be present in allergenic extracts used for diagnosis and allergen-speciϐic immunotherapy. da entre 31 e 38 kDa; e dois soros uma banda entre 12 e 17 kDa. A análise por "immunoblotting" dos antígenos do extrato de B. tropicalis (FDA Allergenic) mostrou que cinco soros reconhecem duas bandas com pesos moleculares entre 52 e 76 kDa. Esses resultados demonstram a importância dessas duas espécies de ácaros da poeira domiciliar na patogênese da dermatite atópica canina no Brasil, assim como indicam alérgenos que devem estar presentes nos extratos alergênicos utilizados para diagnóstico e imunoterapia alérgeno-especíϐica.

“…em populações de T. absoluta, A. kuehniella e S. zeamais, o uso direto de ácaros desse grupo como agentes de controle biológico, envolvendo sua liberação no ambiente, não é recomendado devido aos efeitos indesejáveis que causa ao ser humano (Oliveira et al 1999, Binotti et al 2001, Rosen et al 2002. Estudos têm sido conduzidos para avaliar o potencial de uso da toxina produzida por algumas espécies de ácaros desse gênero.…”
