title: Where does cat allergen 1 come from?
abstract: Cat allergen 1, the major allergen from cats, has been demonstrated to be present in surface washing and in saliva. With the use of an immunohistologic technique with monospecific anti-CA 1, we demonstrated two different sources of the protein, mucous salivary glands and hair roots, where it originates from sebaceous glands.
