# IMMUNOTHERAPY FOR ALLERGIC ASTHMA

> **NIH NIH R01** · JOHNS HOPKINS UNIVERSITY · 1987 · $138,230

## Abstract

A controlled double blind study of immunotherapy of cat induced asthma in
comparison with placebos will be carried out.  Responses will be evaluated
by clinical symptoms and airway responses to aerosol of cat pelt extract,
methacholine and exposure to live cats.  Immunological responses will be
assessed by measurement of basophil histamine release, IgG antibodies, IgE
antibodies to cat pelt extract and by assay for circulating immune
complexes and for pemphigus antibodies.  Allergens of cat pelt extracts
will be identified and purified.
