Scope: In cases where breast milk is unavailable or inadequate, hydrolyzed infant formula is recommended as the primary alternative. The aim of this study is to assess and compare the allergenicity of two partially hydrolyzed whey-based formulas (PHF-Ws) using serum samples from patients with cow's milk allergy (CMA).
Methods And Results: LC-MS/MS technology is used to investigate the peptide distribution in both samples. The immunoreactivity of two PHF-Ws in 27 serum samples from 50 Chinese infants (02 years) with CMA is analyzed. The results demonstrate that even with a similar a degree of hydrolysis (DH), primary protein sources, peptides with molecular weights <5 kDa, and differences in the number of residual allergenic epitopes in the hydrolyzed peptide segments can lead to varying immune responses.
Conclusion: The two PHF-Ws have notably high intolerance rates, exceeding 10% among infants with CMA. Therefore, suggesting that PHF-Ws may not be suitable for infants and children with CMA in China.

Asthma is a condition caused by chronic lower airway inflammation. Its primary treatment focuses on managing the condition and reducing the frequency of exacerbation episodes. Monitoring the level of asthma control among adults is essential for both clinical care and public health planning.

Molecular analysis of interactions between IgE antibody and allergen allows the structural basis of IgE recognition to be defined. Human IgE (hIgE) epitopes of respiratory lipocalin allergens, including Can f 1, remain elusive due to a lack of IgE-allergen complexes. This study aims to map the structure of allergenic epitopes on Can f 1.

In the context of IgE-mediated food allergies in children, the use of hypoallergenic foods may offer an appropriate solution for enabling informed dietary choices and reducing reactivity to allergenic foods. It is well established that certain foods can alter their allergenicity depending on the method of processing. As such, processed foods may serve both as an alternative dietary option and as a useful tool in oral immunotherapy for children with IgE-mediated food allergies.
