Exposure to indoor allergens in homes of patients with asthma and/or rhinitis in southeast Brazil: effect of mattress and pillow covers on mite allergen levels.

abstract：:Der f2 protein in a highly antigenic form was directly expressed in bacteria. Plasmid pFLU11 derived from pKK233-2 was designed to express methionyl-Der f2 under the control of the trc promoter and it has the replication origin of pUC118 instead of its original to increase the copy number. This expression plasmid dire...
