Fel d1 Blocking Antibodies: A Novel Method to Reduce IgE-Mediated Allergy to Cats

Figure 5

Beta-hexosaminidase release assay with chicken egg anti-Fel d1 antibodies compared to egg IgY antibodies from nonimmunized chickens. The anti-Fel d1 IgY antibody dose-dependently reduced mediator release in the rat basophil assay compared to a “no-antibody” control while preimmune IgY had no effect. Significantly different from control ().
