1 Siriraj Dust Mite Center for Services and Research (SDMC) (Progress on the Activities) Asst.Prof. Dr. Nat Malainual Faculty of Medicine Siriraj Hospital Mahidol University, Thailand

2 Siriraj Dust Mite Center Organization profile Establishment of large-scale dust mite cultures Services; mite selling, testing services Research Collaboration Social activities Future activities

3 Mahidol University Faculty of Medicine Siriraj Hospital Department of Parasitology House Dust Mite and Allergic Disease Research Project in June, 2001 Siriraj Dust Mite Center for Services and Research since January, 2007

4 SDMC Concept Dust Mite Cultures Publications Innovations Services & Commercialization

5 Vision To be the premier BioResource Center for dust mites in Asia.

6 Motto When you think of dust mites, Think of SDMC, Thailand

7 Missions 1. Maintain the cultivation of dust mite cultures 2. Provide the dust mites to researchers / industries 3. Develop the testing services for anti-mite products regarding consumer protection 4. Conduct the research study focusing on dust mites 5. Make the collaboration with academic and private sectors to share knowledge on dust mites aspects

8 Establishment of Dust mite cultures

9 The way from laboratory cultures to BRC

10 SDMC Present

11 4 weeks Using mite isolator Purity 99% Harvestation

12 Allergon, Sweden SDMC, Thailand Microscopic Physical Appearance CSL, UK Greer Lab, USA

13 Uses of Dust Mites Dust Mite extracts: for diagnostic / therapeutic purposes Biological study: climate control, growth rate, Taxonomic study: genetic identification,. Testing anti-mite products: mite proof, herbal acaricides etc.

14 Quality Assurance of Dust Mite Product Pre-culture Culturing Post-culture Mite strains Food/Media Containers Planning Mite strains Contaminations Growth rates Environment Correct species Purity Waste management Stock management

15 Good Dust mite products Single species 99% purity High yield Dermatophagoides pteronyssinus Dermatophagoides farinae Blomia tropicalis

16 Testing Services

17 Anti-mite products Acaricides Mite-proof covers Anti-mite covers Air purifier/air sterilizer Anti-mite mattress

18 Anti-mite product testing Mite-proof fabrics testing Anti-mite agents testing (Chemical & Natural products) Siriraj chamber Blocking allergen Killing mites Regular bed sheet Physical Efficacy on mite eradication Mite penetration Heat escape method Siriraj chamber method Blocking allergen ELISA Dust leakage Air permeability Thread count % killed mites

19 Dust Mite Allergen Assessment Mite allergen Mite count Mite identification

20 Support the dust mite product and testing services for Thailand and other countries; Singapore, China, Taiwan, Philippines, Australia, India, etc.

21 Quality Improvement On-going process to improve the quality system to be accredited against ISO 9001: 2008 requirements. Tentative Date of Accreditaion => February 2014

22 Research

23 Asian Pac J Allergy Immunol 2012;30: To detect multiple target genes by using multiple primers Simultaneously identitied 3 mite species in one reaction High specificity and high sensitivity

24 Specificities Lane 1 : 0.1 ng DP + 10 ng DF (1:100) Lane 2 : 0.1 ng DF + 10 ng DP (1:100) Lane 3 : 0.1 ng BT + 10 ng DP (1:100) Lane 9 : 0.1 ng each of DP, DF, BT Lane 10 : 10 ng each of DP, DF, BT Lane 5 : 10 ng DP ng DF (100:1) Lane 6 : 10 ng DF ng DP (100:1) Lane 7 : 10 ng BT ng DP (100:1)

25 Sensitivities 1 mite => 10 ng gdna

26 House Dust Sample DNA extraction Multiplex-PCR Results On-going : Quantitative PCR

27 On-going Research Quantitative PCR for mite identification Dust mite allergenomes Enriched medium for dust mite production Climate controller for dust mite control

28 Collaborations Siriraj - The Thailand Textile Institute (THTI) for developing the anti-mite textiles Siriraj - Greater Pharma Manufacturing Co.,LTD for industrial scale of mite allergen vaccine production

29 Regional Educational Hub International HDM Workshop Workshop : All you need to know about House Dust Mites, 9-12 February 2010 at SDMC Mahidol University, Bangkok, Thailand Workshop : Significant Impact of Allergic Diseases & House Dust Mite Allergy 4-6 April 2010 at Dhulikhel Hospital, Kathmandu University, Nepal
