PG - T2597-T2603 LID - 10.1111/1750-3841.13425 [doi] AB - alpha-Lactalbumin represents one of the major allergens causing cow milk allergy. Few studies have clearly evaluated immunological relationships between immunoglobulin E (IgE) and immunoglobulin G (IgG)-binding epitopes of alpha-lactalbumin. IgE- and IgG-binding epitopes were immunolabeled with individual sera from cow milk-allergic patients. Alanine scanning of immunodominant epitopes was used to identify the critical amino acid (aa). Our initial data revealed Val(8) , Phe(9) , Arg(10) , Tyr(103) , Leu(105) , and His(107) were the critical aa for IgE-binding epitope. The critical aa of IgG-binding epitopes were Phe(9) , Leu(15) , Pro(24) , Trp(26) , and His(32) . This study will provide necessary information to alter the cDNA to encode a protein capable of activating milk-specific T cells, but with reduced IgE- or IgG-binding capacity.
