This study demonstrated that components of house dust mite extracts influence the expression of adhesion molecules on endothelial cells and the secretion of IL-6, IL-8, and MCP-1 by normal human dermal endothelial cells and therefore may influence the course of an allergic reaction in the skin.
Species 1: Acari Pyroglyphidae Dermatophagoides farinae (American house dust mite)
Species 2: Acari Pyroglyphidae Dermatophagoides pteronyssinus (European house dust mite)
