Mass culturing of tyrophagus putrescentiae the allergenically important mite for preparation of testing antigen and desensitizing vaccine

ABSTRACT

The paper describes a convenient method for mass breeding of Tyrophagus putrescentiae the second allergenically important mite in Nile Delta and Cairo. The authors discussed the great advantage of this method to workers who intend to prepare the proper antigen and vaccine from the local storage mite fauna and which may be suitable for desensitization of our patients sensitized by house dust mites and suffering from bronchial asthma, perennial rhinitis and allergic dermatitis
