Characterization of Dog Allergens Can f 1 and Can f 2. 1. Preparation of Their Recombinant Proteins and Antibodies

Abstract

The recombinant allergens and antibodies for Can f 1 and Can f 2 are available for immunological and biochemical characterization of dog allergens. The molecular weight of the natural Can f 1 and Can f 2 in dog saliva and hair/dander extracts showed a higher molecular weight than that of rCan f 1 and rCan f 2. The significance of dog skin as the tissue producing dog allergens, especially Can f 2, should be considered in further studies.
