| Abstract: | Fifty-six healthy dogs with no known history of atopic disease to indoor allergens were skin tested with 6 different dilutions of an aqueous house dust mite extract. A concentration of 31.25 PNU/ml was found to be the maximum, nonirritating concentration. Thirty-two percent of the research dogs used had to be excluded because they failed to show reactions to any test dilution. |
