Analysis of the expression pattern showed that the gene encoding the tick Der-p2 allergen-like protein is strongly induced by the bloodmeal in gut and haemolymph throughout all tick developmental stages. Der-p2 allergenlike protein possesses a putative lipid-binding site, according to the comparisons with the related proteins. The ability of tick Der-p2 allergen-like protein to bind immunoglobulin E (IgE) was revealed. The presence of a putative lipid-binding domain in Der-p2 allergen-like protein and its ability to interact with IgE might indicate the involvement of the protein in the tick’s immune response.
