Allergens for the production of therapeutics and diagnostics
Citeq Biologics is a producer of allergens. These allergens can be used for research as well as for the production of therapeutics and diagnostics. Our aim is to set new standards in product quality, guarantee the highest product quality and to support our clients in the best way possible.
Citeq Biologics offers a variety of mite, mammal, insect, and pollen allergens. Our knowledge in storage mites and house dust mites, and production of mites is unique in the world. Extensive experience with GMP guidelines has prepared us for the oncoming quality demands for the allergen industry.
Dermatophagoides pteronyssinus 1 (Der p1) is one of the major mite allergens next to Dermatophagoides farinae. Concentrations of these allergens can be determined in the nanogram range (1-15 ng/ml) by means of ELISA.
A monoclonal-coated microtiter plate is used for binding of Der p1 containing standards and unknown samples. After washing a polyclonal antibody is adsorbed, followed by peroxidase labelled detection antibody and chromogenic substrate. Cleavage of the substrate is quantified by measuring the optical density at 450 nm. Low and high quality controls are included in this kit.
