  • Publication number: 20240092882
    Abstract: The present invention provides methods for treating an allergy by administering one or more antibodies that bind specifically to the allergen. In certain embodiments, the antibodies useful for treating an allergen, bind specifically to the cat allergen, Fel d1. According to certain embodiments of the invention, the antibodies are fully human antibodies that bind to Fel d1. The antibodies of the invention are useful for binding to the Fel d1 allergen in vivo, thus preventing binding of the Fel d1 allergen to pre-formed IgE on the surface of mast cells or basophils. In doing so, the antibodies act to prevent the release of histamine and other inflammatory mediators from mast cells and/or basophils, thus ameliorating the untoward response to the cat allergen in sensitized individuals.
