Molekulare Allergiediagnostik

Zusammenfassung

In weiten Teilen der Erde ist Hausstaub der wichtigste Auslöser von allergischen Reaktionen, und mehr als 50 % aller Allergiker sind auf Hausstaubmilben sensibilisiert. Die spezifische Immuntherapie der Hausstaubmilbenallergie wird routinemäßig mit Allergenextrakten durchgeführt. Aufgrund der schlechten Qualität der Hausstaubmilbenextrakte ist diese ist jedoch weniger wirksam als Therapien mit Pollenextrakten. Daher wäre es vorteilhaft, die Diagnose und Immuntherapie der Hausstaubmilbenallergie mit gereinigten natürlichen oder rekombinant hergestellten Hausstaubmilbenallergenen durchzuführen. Obwohl bereits mehr als 20 Allergene der Hausstaubmilbe bekannt sind und die meisten davon als rekombinante Proteine hergestellt wurden, sind bisher nur wenige Hausstaubmilbenallergene für die Routinediagnostik verfügbar. Dieses Kapitel beschreibt Aspekte der Diagnostik und Therapie mit rekombinanten Hausstaubmilbenallergenen.

Der Beitrag basiert auf einer Publikation der Autoren, die 2013 im Allergo Journal erschienen ist (Vrtala S, Jörg Kleine-Tebbe J: Hausstaubmilbenallergene und ihre Bedeutung. Allergo J 2013; 22: 546–549) und nun als Buchkapitel aktualisiert und erweitert wurde.
