2314. Allergen. Molecule. β-lactoglobulin (nBos d5), IgE antibodies
Description
β-lactoglobulin is one of the strongest allergens in cow's milk proteins. It is absent in breast milk. It breaks down when boiled for 20 minutes. Sensitization can occur even in the womb, with abuse during pregnancy or lactation with dairy products.
The most common clinical manifestations of allergies can be skin manifestations (itchy rash, eczema, dermatitis), gastroenteric symptoms (abdominal pain, vomiting, diarrhea, flatulence, and constipation), and sometimes respiratory symptoms (cough, choking, rhinitis).
If you are allergic to cow's milk, you may experience cross-allergic reactions when eating beef. The purpose of this study is to determine specific IgE to the native (from natural raw materials) cow's milk allergen – beta-lactoglobulin (nBos d 5) by the ImmunoCAP method.
When and who needs the test?
- recommended for diagnosing cow's milk whey protein allergy;
- to predict the risk of cross-reactions when drinking milk and substantiate recommendations for the elimination of milk, when selecting hydrolyzed formulas for feeding young children.
