The invention provides a dust mite allergen and an application thereof. The dust mite allergen belongs to the TEF (translation elongation factor) protein family, can be used for diagnosing, treating and preventing allergic diseases, particularly dust mite allergic diseases, and is particularly used for diagnosing, treating and preventing the allergic disease caused by a thirty-fifth component of the dust mite allergen. Recombinant protein of the dust mite allergen is prepared through gene cloning and protein expression, the protein purity is high, the specificity is better, and the yield is high. The dust mite allergen is used for preparing a reagent for diagnosing, preventing or treating the allergic disease caused by the dust mite allergen, has the characteristics of high specificity and low cost, and particularly can be used for effectively diagnosing whether a patient is allergic to the thirty-fifth component of the dust mite allergen.
