Résumé : Der p 5 is an important allergen of Dermatophagoides pteronyssinus that plays a key role in allergic airway diseases. Its three dimensional structure (PDB 3MQ1) consists of three anti-parallel α-helices arranged in a helical bundle. Aggregation of Der p5 can modulate its allergenicity. This study aimed to identify the key residues of IgE binding epitopes of Der p 5.
