An experimental treatment for peanut, milk, and wheat allergies appears to have fared well in lab tests on dogs, markedly reducing the severe allergic response in these animals, say California researchers.Experts from four universities -- Stanford University and the University of California at San Francisco, Davis, and Berkeley -- teamed up for the project. The researchers included pediatrics professors Oscar Frick of UCSF and Dale Umetsu, MD, PhD, of Stanford. Their findings are reported in the Nov. 12 online edition of the journal Allergy.
