ABSTRACT:
The present invention relates to a novel allergen from house-dust mites, to polypeptides derived from said allergen and polynucleotides encoding the same. Furthermore, the invention provides antibodies directed against the allergen and to the use of the polypeptides, polynucleotides and/or antibodies in therapy and diagnosis of allergic disorders.
