Description
Lin Liang and co-authors tested whether a single cat allergen measure can tell true cat allergy from a false signal in dog owners, in a 2024 study. Pet allergens stick to surfaces and can affect people who never kept that pet. Dog owners often test positive for both dog and cat dander, so the real culprit can be hard to name.
The team enrolled 31 patients with breathing allergies who kept only dogs. About 81 percent tested positive for both danders, and eight also tested positive for the cat allergen Fel d 1. Blocking tests then showed unlike patterns in the two groups. In those positive for the cat measure, cat dander blocked far more strongly, which points to true cat sensitization.
