AB  - Levels of serum immunoglobulin E (IgE) specific for the house dust mites (HDMs) 
      Dermatophagoides farinae (DF) and Dermatophagoides pteronyssinus (DP) in 58 cats 
      with clinical signs suggestive of atopic dermatitis (allergic dermatitis cats), 
      52 cats with no history of allergic or immunological disease (nonallergic cats) 
      and 26 specific pathogen-free (SPF) cats were measured using a monoclonal 
      anti-IgE enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay. Reactivity to both native and reduced 
      HDM allergens was compared. SPF cats had significantly lower levels of 
      HDM-specific serum IgE than cats with allergic dermatitis and nonallergic cats. 
      The difference in levels of HDM-specific IgE in the serum of cats with allergic 
      dermatitis and nonallergic cats was significant for native DF allergen, but not 
      for native DP allergen or reduced HDM allergens. The results suggest that DF in 
      its native form may be a significant allergen in cats with allergic dermatitis. 
      The clinical relevance of these reactions, however, remains to be proven.
