Cat lovers given new drug hope of 'beating their allergy to their pets'

"British researchers discovered how the animals trigger allergies in different people after they isolated a part of a cell related to minute particles of cat skin.
The discovery sheds light on how the body's immune system identifies and reacts to allergens, which could pave the way in developing new ways of treating allergies ranging from sneezes to more serious asthma attacks.
A team of immunologists led Nottingham University's School of Molecular Medical Sciences identified a cell component which plays a key role in triggering allergic responses to cat dander.
They say their study could pave the way for improved treatments for asthma sufferers whose condition is worsened by cat dander, microscopic pieces of cat skin which easily become airborne and trigger attacks like the house dust mite."
