bos taurus dander

Bos taurus dander is an allergenic extract derived from the skin and hair (dander) of Bos taurus (domestic cattle). It is primarily used in allergy testing to diagnose sensitivity to bovine allergens. The extract contains a mixture of proteins, including major allergens such as Bos d 1 and Bos d 2, which can trigger immune responses in sensitized individuals. Its mechanism of action involves provoking an allergic response characterized by increased histamine release, cell-mediated immunity activation, and increased IgG production upon exposure in sensitive patients. This product is classified as a non-standardized animal allergen extract and is approved for use in diagnostic settings[1][2][4].
