The "Hygiene Hypothesis" suggests that parasitic infection modulates host immune responses and decreases atopy. Other data suggest parasitic infections may induce allergic responsiveness. Assess the structural and immunologic relationships between the known Dermatophagoides pteronyssinus (Der p 10) tropomyosin allergen and filarial tropomyosin (OvTrop). The molecular, structural, and immunologic relationships between OvTrop and Der p 10 were compared. Levels of OvTrop- and Der p 10-specific IgE, IgG, and IgG4 in sera of filaria-infected and –uninfected D. pteronyssinus-atopic individuals were compared as were the responses in nonhuman primates infected with the filarial parasite Loa loa. Crossreactivity was compared by antigen-mediated depletion assays and functionality by passive basophil sensitization. Filarial and mite tropomyosins were very similar, with 72% identity at the amino acid level and overlapping predicted 3D structures. The prevalence of IgE and IgG to Der p 10 was increased in filaria-infected individuals compared with uninfected subjects. There was a strong correlation between serum levels of Ov- and Der p 10-tropomyosin-specific IgE, IgG, and IgG4 (P < 0.0001; r > 0.79). Pre-incubation of sera from anti-Der p 10 positive subjects with OvTrop completely depleted IgE, IgG, and IgG4 anti-Der p 10. Basophils sensitized with sera from individuals allergic to Der p 10 released histamine similarly when triggered with OvTrop or Der p 10. Primates experimentally infected with L. loa developed IgE that crossreacted with Der p 10. Filarial infection induces strong crossreactive antitropomyosin antibody responses that may affect sensitization and regulation of allergic reactivity.
