About Dust Mite Allergy

Allergens from dust mites and other indoor allergens are ubiquitous allergens to which peopleare exposed and become sensitised. As a result of dusting, vacuuming, bed-making, or any other activity that causes settled dustto become airbore, the faecal pellets and smaller allergen-bearing particles becometemporarily suspended in the air (the faecal pellets are too large to stay there for very long) and may become inhaled. Those people who are atopic (i.e. are genetically predisposed to develop allergic reactions to common allergens like those derived from pollens, dust mite and animal skin scales) respond to this exposure either by making IgE antibodies, which then bind with immunologically active cells to cause the release of mediators such as histamine, and the development of localized inflammation. The allergic reactions are manifest as symptomatic asthma, eczema, rhinitis and conjunctivitis.

Tongzhou Dust Mite IgE Rapid Test

The Dust Mite IgE Rapid Test Cassette (Whole Blood/Serum/Plasma) is a qualitative, lateral flow immunoassay for the detection of human Dust Mite lgE antibody in venipuncture whole blood, serum or plasma specimens. In this test, dust mite recombinant allergen is coated in the test line region of the test. During testing, if Dust Mite lgE antibody present in venipuncture whole blood, serum or plasma specimen, it will react with mouse anti-human lgE coated particles in the test strip. The mixture then migrates forward on the membrane by capillary action and reacts with the dust mite recombinant allergen on the membrane in the test line region. The presence of a colored line in the test line region indicates a positive result for Dust Mite lgE, while its absence indicates a negative result.

To serve as a procedural control, a colored line will always appear in the control line region indicating that proper volume of specimen has been added and membrane wicking has occurred.
