dog allergies

Gene-edited beagles named Alfie and Bailey were created in a lab to potentially offer an option for people with dog allergies.

Scientists at a biotech company have used gene editing to create two hypoallergenic beagles that do not trigger allergies. This development may offer a future option for people with dog allergies.

Scientists used CRISPR gene editing to create hypoallergenic beagles named Bailey and Alfie, which lack a key allergy-causing protein in their saliva and hair. The research, conducted by Kindred Companion Sciences, aims to provide future options for people with dog allergies but requires further testing and commercialization.
