Specific effects of denaturation, hydrolysis and exposure to <i>Lactococcus lactis</i> on bovine β‐lactoglobulin transepithelial transport, antigenicity and allergenicity

Abstract

In vitro dissection of antigenicity and allergenicity may be a valid and convenient alternative to evaluate the effects of biotechnological processing on dietary proteins. In addition, it can help to define the molecular and cellular mechanisms that will provide improved means of diagnosis and possibly therapy of food-allergic disorders.
