Methods The beer yeast powder was collected from the scum after fermentation of the beer material, the mites in it were separated and made into slide specimens,and then they were identified and observed for the morphological characteristics under an optical microscope. Results The mites separated from the beer yeast powder were identified as female Thyreophagus entomophagus. Under the optical microscope,the bodies of the mites were long and narrow,which showed an oval shape,the gnathosoma was wide,the epidermis was colorless but lustrous,the external vertical seta,internal scapular seta,in?ner humerals,anterior lateral seta,and dorsal body setae were all absent,the bristles on the back of the body were relatively long,and all the feet were thick and strong. Conclusion Thyreophagus entomophagus can breed in the beer yeast powder,and therefore,the powder should be stored properly to avoid the contamination caused by the mites.

Objective To investigate the specific immune therapeutic effect of the T cell fusion peptide vaccine from group II allergens from Dermatophagoides pteronyssinus(Der p2). Methods Thirty mice were randomly divided into three groups, namely a negative control group(a PBS group),positive control group(an asthma group)and protein Der p2 T cell fusion epit?ope for specific immunotherapy(SIT)group(a Der p2 T group). The extract of house dust mites(HDM)was used to establish the asthmatic models in BALB/c mice,and the PBS group was always used with PBS buffer. Thirty minutes before spray inhala?tion from 25 to 27 days,the mice of the Der p2 T group were respectively injected subcutaneously with the therapeutic proteins for SIT,then the serum and bronchoalveolar lavage fluid(BALF)were collected. ELISA was used to assay the levels of IFN?γ, IL?4,and IL?13 in BALF,as well as serum levels of specific IgE and IgG2a. The lung tissue sections were stained with haematox?ylin and eosin(H&E)for pathological examinations. Results The ELISA detection revealed that the number of eosinophil in BALF of the asthmatic mice was(5.57 ± 0.64)× 105/ml,which was significantly higher than that in the PBS group[(0.50 ± 0.30)× 105/ml,P < 0.01],the number of eosinophil in the Der p2 T immunotherapy group decreased significantly[(3.45 ± 0.36)×105/ml,P<0.01]. The content of IFN?γin the PBS group,asthma group and Der p2 T group were(267.00 ± 21.98), (155.80 ± 20.53)pg/ml and(234.40 ± 24.46)pg/ml respectively. Compared with the asthma group,the mice with Der p2 T vac?cine specific immune treatment produced a high level of IFN?γ(P<0.01). The content of IL?4 in the PBS group,asthma group and Der p2 T group were(23.40 ± 5.96),(53.28 ± 8.26)pg/ml and(30.00 ± 5.50)pg/ml respectively. Compared with the asth?ma group,the content of IL?4 in the mice of the Der p2 T treatment group was significantly lower(P<0.01). Compared with the asthma group[(308.10 ± 28.32)pg/ml],the content of IL?13 in BALF of the mice in the Der p2 T treatment group was signifi?cantly decreased,which was[(174.50 ± 25.99)pg/ml,P<0.01]. The content of IL?13 in the PBS group was(95.99 ± 31.14) pg/ml. The lung tissue sections showed that the lung inflammation in the p2 T Der group was significantly less than that in the asthma group,and the inflammatory cell infiltration was significantly decreased,and airway epithelial construction remodeled. Conclusion The Der p2 T cell fusion epitope,which is as vaccines for specific immunotherapy with asthma models,can allevi?ate effectively allergic inflammation of airway and lung in the mice,and it may be used as a candidate vaccine for asthma.
