Evaluation of protein allergenic potential in mice: dose–response analyses

Background With the increasing interest in novel foods derived from transgenic crop plants, there is a growing need for the development of approaches for the characterization of the allergenic potential of proteins. Whereas immunogenicity is a common property of foreign proteins, including food proteins, relatively few are significant dietary allergens with the inherent capacity to provoke IgE antibody production and immediate‐type hypersensitivity responses.
