title: Dog and cat allergens: urinary proteins or dander proteins?
abstract: Allergens prepared from male dog and cat urines can be used for RAST diagnosis of dog and cat allergy. Only one out of 15 patients positive to epithelia or danders was negative to the urine. The urine antigens appear to be more specific than either epithelia or danders.
