Whey is milk depleted of most casein but equivalent to whole milk in other characteristics. The main allergenic components are α-lactalbumin, β-lactoglobulin, and bovine serum albumin (BSA). Whey proteins make up about 20% of the total milk protein content and can denature during heating.

Studies indicate the possibility of anaphylaxis after intake of hydrolyzed whey protein formulas in infants. Caution is advised when prescribing such formulas to highly sensitive children.

  • Diagnosis of allergic reactions to whey protein.
  • Assessment of sensitization levels and allergy risk.
  • Monitoring the effectiveness of therapy.
  • Evaluation of sensitization levels after allergen avoidance.
  • Assessment of immune system status.

FEIA (Fluorescence Enzyme Immunoassay), ImmunoCAP (Solid-phase Immunofluorescence) – quantitative determination of sensitization levels.
