Abstract excerpt
Recombinant Der p 2, expressed in the baker's yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae, was used as a tool to determine IgE- and monoclonal antibody (mAb)-binding sites on this allergen. For this purpose, mutant molecules were produced by application of site-directed mutagenesis. The amino-acid residues spanning cys21-cys27 and cys73-cys78 were deleted, thus preventing loop formation through disulfide bonds. Charged...
