ANTI-ALLERGEN COMBINATIONS OF CALCIUM AND LANTHANUM SALTS

摘要

The present invention relates to certain combinations of alkaline earth metal salts and rare earth metal salts which provide an improved denaturing effect on allergens. More particularly, the present invention relates to compositions comprising a combination of calcium salts and lanthanum salts in respective proportions to produce a synergistic denaturing effect on allergens. Compositions comprising these combinations are particularly effective for use in an ex vivo method for denaturing allergens associated with house dust mites and other common allergens such as cat dander, molds, cockroach, pollen and the like.
