Goat milk

Active

Description

Goat milk often appears as a substitute for cow milk, particularly in diets administered by parents to children with atopic dermatitis. Some cow milk-allergic children may tolerate goat milk. However, there appears to be evidence for crossreactivity between goat milk and cow milk. In a study of crossreactivity of the casein fractions among different species, the IgE response to ewe and goat milk was weaker than that to cow and buffalo.
14/16 patients with cow milk allergy had specific IgE antibodies to goas milk. Serum albumin and caseins show homology to the corresponding proteins of cow and sheep. Copyright Copyright © 2006 Phadia AB. Source: ImmunoCap, ImmunoCap
