Abstract
House dust mites are globally significant triggers of allergic disease. Notable among their extensive repertoire of allergens are the Group 1 cysteine peptidase allergens which function as digestive enzymes in house dust mites. Compelling evidence suggests that the proteolytic activity of these molecules plays a key role in the development and maintenance of allergic diseases through the activation of innate immune mechanisms which exploit genetic predispositions to allergy. Growing interest in this area creates a requirement for high-quality purified protein, whether natural or recombinantly expressed. It has also identified these allergens as therapeutic targets for a novel approach to allergy treatment through modulation of innate immune responses. The purpose of this chapter is to describe a new method for the purification of Der p 1 and use of the protein produced in a screening assay designed for the discovery of novel inhibitors of Group 1 house dust mite allergens.
