Immunotherapy, or allergy vaccination, which is based on repeated subcutaneous injections of cat hair extracts has been shown to be effective in the curative treatment of allergy. However, in addition to being a time-consuming treatment, it can cause serious side effects such as asthma attacks and anaphylactic shock <ref name="[1]"/><ref name="[4]"/>.

Additionally, to add to the immunotherapy treatment, there is a cat food supplemented with anti-Fel d 1 IgY, which significantly reduces active Fel d 1 levels. Figure 4 shows the three-dimensional configuration of Fel d 1 (a) and the structure of Fel d 1 linked to two anti-Fel d 1 IgY antibodies (b) <ref name="[3]"/>.
