The fresh and embryonated eggs of house dust mites contain IgE-binding allergens. We have characterized these IgE- binding allergens.

Species 1: Acari Pyroglyphidae Dermatophagoides farinae (North American house dust mite)
Species 2: Acari Pyroglyphidae Dermatophagoides pteronyssinus (European house dust mite)
Species 3: Acari Pyroglyphidae Euroglyphus maynei (house dust mite)
