摘要 |
The present invention provides a method to produce variant recombinant mite Group 1 proteins with properties suitable for accelerated, specific immunotherapy. The variants of the present invention have greatly reduced IgE binding activity, but little or no loss in the ability to stimulate T cells in allergic individuals. The present invention also relates to a variant mite Group 1 protein obtained by such a method, and the use of such a variant mite Group 1 protein to reduce an allergic response to a mite Group 1 protein. The present invention also includes novel mite Group 1 nucleic acid molecules, proteins, recombinant molecules, and recombinant cells, as well as uses thereof.
