Inhalant allergy to arthropods

Abstract
Summary Inhalant allergy to arthropods is of major social, economic, and medical importance. As seen in this review, immunologic techniques for evaluating the multitude of clinical problems that are known to exist are beginning to enable the clinical allergist to deal with these problems in more effective ways. Successful application of newer biotechnology methods in areas of protein isolation, characterization, and sequencing together with gene cloning technology should result in significant advances in our understanding and management of inhalant arthropod allergy.
