More Information
Summary:The present invention provides a method of reducing the major allergen in cat dander, Fel d1, and of reducing allergic response in mammals, including humans, sensitive to cat dander. Specifically to humans sensitive to the Fel dl allergen that is shed by a cat. The treatment is achieved through administering to the cat itself a composition, which stimulates the cat's immune response to its own dander and Fel dl polypeptide. The result is a reduction in the amount of Fel dl shed by the cat, and a subsequent reduction or lowering of the level of allergic responsiveness in sensitized individuals.
