It must be noted that a study was conducted in the above mentioned institute and it is now said that a special receptor on the cells present in throat, sinus and lungs have evolved and they help in the protection of mammals against allergies and asthma etc.
It is worthy to mention that the receptor termed dectin-1 recognises protein present in house dust mites plus others like cockroach, shellfishes and invertebrates etc and suppress immune reactions to these allergies and asthma issues. This was confirmed by the researchers.
