This subproject is one of many research subprojects utilizing the resources provided by a Center grant funded by NIH/NCRR. The subproject and investigator (PI) may have received primary funding from another NIH source, and thus could be represented in other CRISP entries. The institution listed is for the Center, which is not necessarily the institution for the investigator. This is a research study of the exposures and genetics of laboratory animal allergy in animal handlers, research scientists and technicians. From 20 to 50% of workers exposed to laboratory animals will develop animal-related symptoms, and about half of these have specific allergies to the animals they work with. The goal of this research is to study the airborne concentrations of mouse allergen and endotoxin in the workplace, and their relationship with a person's genetic make-up that together may trigger symptoms and allergies to lab animals
