Cats and dogs are by far the most common pets worldwide. Unfortunately, many people develop allergic reactions when exposed to them. It is often thought that pet hair is the main cause, but in reality, the problem lies in dander (skin flakes), saliva, or urine. For allergy-prone individuals, exposure to these allergens can trigger the immune system to produce IgE antibodies, leading to symptoms such as sneezing, itching, watery eyes, or skin reactions.

At Citeq Biologics, we specialize in producing high-quality cat and dog dander extracts for research purposes. Our extracts are obtained from healthy animals, carefully processed through extraction, filtration, dialysis, and freeze-drying. Each batch is supplied with a certificate of analysis, ensuring quality and consistency.

Cat dander is known to be extremely small and lightweight, allowing it to remain airborne for hours and making it a potent trigger for allergy symptoms. Dog dander, on the other hand, can cause similar respiratory or skin reactions regardless of whether the dog has long or short hair.

By using standardized dander extracts, researchers can better understand allergic responses and develop new diagnostics or therapies. Citeq Biologics provides these extracts to support scientific progress in the field of allergy research.
