Molecular diagnosis in cat allergy
Florin‐Dan Popescu, Carmen Saviana Ganea, Carmen Panaitescu, Mariana Vieru
Abstract
diagnostic evaluation of cat allergy because galactose-α1,3-galactose is an IgE-binding epitope of these native feline allergens. The benefits of molecular-based cat allergy diagnosis are continually evaluated, as the role of recombinant allergen components already known is detailed and new other molecules of interest may be discovered in the future.
