Hypoallergenic cat "Allerca" (2006) DESIGN ALLERCA

Allerca, hypoallergenic cat, 2006, USA. The Allerca hypoallergenic cat is the very latest man-made feline race. Unlike conventional style-based genetic design, for the ? rst time it is the cat’s functionality which has been improved. The protein responsible for allergies secreted by the cat’s skin and saliva glands has been removed by means of conventional arti? cial genetic selection. The researchers made their selections from various generations of kittens using those whose genes expressed the least allergenic proteins for humans and then allowed them to reproduce amongst themselves. The ? rst delivery of cats will take place in 2007 at a cost of around $4,000.
