TL;DR: It is found that the corona is dominated by der p 2, a protein associated with human allergic responses to house dust mites, which remains adsorbed on the surface of the MWCNTs following subsequent exposures to lung fluid proteins. (via Semantic Scholar)

MWCNTs are used in a variety of industrial applications. Inhalation of MWCNTs can occur during manufacturing and handling. We address the interaction of MWCNTs with house dust mite allergens (a source of asthma) and lung fluid proteins.
