| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
Even without an allergic constitution in asthmatic patients, symptoms may be exacerbated by exposure to the allergen.
We investigated whether house dust mites directly induce eosinophil adhesion and effector function.
House dust mites significantly induced adhesion reaction and active superoxide production of eosinophils. Similar results were obtained with this specific reaction even with the specific protein Derf 1. It was suggested that indoor dust mites act directly on eosinophils and affect expression of effector functions.
