Dust mites affect populations worldwide, causing asthma, eczema, congestion, and even anaphylaxis. By combining the gene with recombinant DNA and using mite extracts, we observed protein expression. We’ve amplified and tested the reactivity at the Der f 8 gene. From there, we created a treatment for the allergen, mellowing symptoms for those who react.

Ragweed is a dominant allergen in China. By extracting ragweed pollen, we combined the gene with recombinant DNA and observed protein expression. We’ve amplified and tested the D106 gene's reactivity. We developed a treatment for the allergen that helps make the reaction manageable.

Peanut allergies are among one of the most common allergens that cause severe and fatal reactions, with 1% of children being affected. Reactions like anaphylaxis are common in people who have a peanut allergy. By extracting the allergenic components of peanuts, we combined the gene with recombinant DNA and observed protein expression. We’ve amplified and tested the reactivities of the proteins, Ara h 1 and Ara h 2. We developed a treatment for the allergen that calms symptoms in those who react.
