Ingested house dust mite favors sensitization to egg white in mice independently of its proteinase activity by Sara Benedé, Leticia Pérez-Rodríguez, David Menchén-Martínez, Elena Molina, Rosina López-Fandiño

“…Whereas HDM increased intestinal expression of genes encoding tight junction proteins and Th2-inducing alarmins to a greater extent than iHDM, active proteinases were not required for its adjuvant activity, as iHDM preferentially promoted Th2 responses in intestinal lymphoid tissues.ConclusionsThese findings suggest that ingestion of environmental dust may contribute to food allergy development and highlight the complex and context-dependent nature of the adjuvant activity of HDM.…”

Soil Acidobacterial 16S rRNA Gene Sequences Reveal Subgroup Level Differences between Savanna-Like Cerrado and Atlantic Forest Brazilian Biomes by Elisa C. P. Catão, Fabyano A. C. Lopes, Janaína F. Araújo, Alinne P. de Castro, Cristine C. Barreto, Mercedes M. C. Bustamante, Betania F. Quirino, Ricardo H. Krüger

“…PCA and phylogenetic reconstruction showed that the acidobacterial communities found in “Mata de galeria” forest soil samples from the Cerrado biome have a tendency to separate from the other Cerrado vegetation microbial communities in the direction of those found in the Atlantic Forest, which is correlated with a high abundance of Acidobacteria subgroup 2 (GP2). Environmental conditions seem to promote a negative correlation between GP2 and subgroup 1 (GP1) abundance. …”
