Ultrastructural localization of the allergen Der p I in the gut of the house dust mite Dermatophagoides pteronyssinus.
The sites and concentrations of Der p I within the house dust mite were determined. Highest concentrations were found in the epithelium of the posterior end of the mite stomach, implying that this is the site of Der p I synthesis and secretion.
