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]"/>. | [https://acaai.org/allergies/management-treatment/allergy-immunotherapy/ 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.

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]"/>. | 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.
