Outline of Final Research Achievements |
By pepsin treatment under high pressure, β-lactoglobulin (β-LG) was almost entirely hydrolyzed and the ability of β-LG to bind to β-LG-specific IgG1 was markedly reduced. The cutaneous or systemic anaphylactic responses were diminished or abrogated when the β-LG hydrolysates were injected into the mice previously immunized with β-LG. Moreover, oral administration of the β-LG hydrolysates to mice induced the oral tolerance to intact β-LG. The pepsin treatment under high pressure may be a useful method to produce hypoallergenic milk with tolerogenic property.
