High doses of CpG oligonucleotide helps in successfully modulating the immune system s allergic response to the main cat allergen Fel d 1, inducing a tolerance-promoting reaction and reverting the main hallmarks of cat allergy, as per researchers from the Department of Infection and Immunity of the Luxembourg Institute of Health (LIH).
