A team of scientists from the Swiss firm HypoPet AG has developed a vaccine to combat the feline-produced protein Fel d 1, to which 10% of humans are allergic, according to their press release.
瑞士HypoPet AG公司的一組科學家,已經開發(fā)出一種疫苗來對抗貓產生的蛋白質fel d 1,據他們的新聞稿顯示,10%的人對它過敏。
After analyzing data from four separate studies involving a total of 54 kitties, the antidote, called HypoCat, has already demonstrated its success.

HypoPet AG公司的首席執(zhí)行官加里·詹寧斯在聲明中寫道:“我們的低劑量貓流感疫苗,能夠在貓體內產生高水平的抗體。”“這些抗體可以結合并中和動物產生的Fel d1過敏源。”
Researchers say they are “pressing ahead with registration studies and discussions with European and US regulators” to bring the drug to market, which would certainly change lives.
研究人員說,他們正在“推進注冊研究,與歐洲和美國監(jiān)管機構的討論”,盡快將這種藥物推向市場,這肯定會改變人們的生活。
