Abstract: The secondary structure and surface properties of Blo t 5 allergen from Blomia tropicalis,such as physical and chemical characters,hydrophilicity,surface probability,flexible regions and antigenicity,were analyzed by using the DNAStar Protean software to predict B-cell and T-cell epitopes of Blo t. 5. The secondary structure of Blo t 5 was rich in alpha helix,and the Blo t 5 contained six potential B cell epitopes located at 18-31,39-48,56-77,86-101,105-112,117-133 amino acid residues or nearby. There were seven potential T cell epitopes located at 32-37,40-44,57-65,70-79,86-95,100-104,115-120 amino acid residues or nearby. The epitopes of the major allergen Blo t 5 from B. tropicalis were predicted by using the Protean software.The results can provide a base for the studies of structure and function of the allergen Blo t 5,and development of preventive and therapeutic vaccines for Blomia tropicalis and diagnostic kits for detection of allergens induced by B. tropicalis.
