NIH News - Novel Therapy Tested in Mice Could Chase Away Cat Allergies

NIH News - Novel Therapy Tested in Mice Could Chase Away Cat Allergies:
"A molecule designed to block cat allergies successfully prevented allergic reactions in laboratory mice, as well as in human cells in a test tube, University of California, Los Angeles (UCLA) researchers report in the April issue of Nature Medicine, available online now. In the future, the investigators say, these promising results could lead to a new therapy not only for human cat allergies, but also possibly for severe food allergies such as those to peanuts."
