[ANTIGENICITY OF SOY PROTEIN IN SOY-BASED INFANT FORMULA BONLACT® i].

BACKGROUND: i (BL) with that of defatted soy protein (SP) and soy protein isolate (SPI), which is the original source of BL, using sera from patients with soybean allergy. METHODS: Pt) were used for these assays. The cross-antigenicity of SP and BL with cow's milk (CM) proteins was also analyzed in the sera from patients with CM allergy using inhibition ELISA. RESULTS: Pt. Immunoblotting analysis showed that the bands of BL were thinner than those of SP and SPI. Additionally, SP and BL showed no cross-antigenicity with CM proteins. CONCLUSION: The proteins in BL was partially digested, and its antigenicity was lower than that of SP and SPI.
