The proteolytic activity of the major dust mite allergen Der p 1 conditions dendritic cells to produce less interleukin-12: Allergen-induced Th2 bias determined at the dendritic cell level (2002)
Journal Article

Background: The proteolytic activity of the house dust mite allergen Der p 1 has recently been shown to bias Th cell subset development in favour of Th2. Apart from its direct effect on T cells, it is conceivable that the proteolytic activity of Der...

Human T cells that have been conditioned by the proteolytic activity of the major dust mite allergen Der p 1 trigger enhanced immunoglobulin E synthesis by B cells (2002)
Journal Article

Background: We have previously demonstrated that the proteolytic activity of Der p 1 selectively cleaves human CD25, the 55 kDa α subunit of the IL-2 receptor. As a result of cleavage of surface CD25, peripheral blood T cells produce less IFN-γ and m...
