Cow milk αs1-casein induces allergic responses in a mouse model of atopy by Guangyu Wang, Xiaofeng Yu, Yanjun Cong, Linfeng Li

“…The local alveolar septum collapsed or thickened, and lymphatic foci were produced in the spleen and thymus, and the inflammatory cells infiltrated in small intestinal mucosa mesenchyme. In conclusion, the levels of specific IgE, mast cell proteinase, histamine, IL-4, IL-5, IL-10 and some inflammatory factors could possibly serve as allergic biomarkers of αs1-casein, however, additional studies on signal transduction and gene expression are necessary in future.…”
