| 24 October 2004 A Los Angeles-based company, Allerca, announced that within three years it will
be able to produce a hypoallergenic cat using genetic modification. At the same time,
the company denied that it will be able to do the same for dogs, because whereas cats have a
single gene that produces the allergenic
protein, dogs have many allergenic proteins controlled by multiple genes. (San Jose Mercury News) (http://www.mercurynews.com/mld/mercurynews/living/health/10035419.htm?1c)
