We evaluated the removal of a cat major allergen (Fel d I) from futons (Japanese bedding) with the use of a large-sized home washing machine. Before and after washing a futon that had been used in a home with a cat, a small amount of cotton was collected from the futon and Fel d I was extracted from the cotton. The levels of Fel d I were assayed by a sandwich enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA). We found that washing reduced the Fel d I level in futons by more than 95%. In conclusion, washing of futons is an effective method for elimination of their cat allergens.
我们使用大型家用洗衣机评估了从蒲团（日式寝具）上去除猫主要过敏原（猫毛蛋白）的效果。在清洗一张曾在有猫的家庭中使用过的蒲团前后，从蒲团上收集少量棉花，并从棉花中提取猫毛蛋白。通过夹心酶联免疫吸附测定法（ELISA）测定猫毛蛋白的水平。我们发现，清洗使蒲团中的猫毛蛋白水平降低了95%以上。总之，清洗蒲团是消除其中猫过敏原的有效方法。
