About Beta Lactoglobulin (BLG) Allergy Test in Modesto
Beta lactoglobulin is a whey protein and a major allergen in cow's milk.
Cow's milk contains two main protein groups: caseins and whey proteins. Beta lactoglobulin is the most abundant whey protein and is absent from human milk, which may contribute to its allergenic potential.
An IgE-mediated reaction to BLG can occur shortly after consuming milk or whey-containing products, with symptoms that may involve the skin, gastrointestinal tract, or respiratory system. Because BLG is heat-sensitive, some individuals tolerate baked milk products but react to less processed forms.
This test detects circulating IgE antibodies that bind specifically to beta lactoglobulin. A positive result indicates sensitization to the protein; the clinical significance depends on the person's history and other findings, so results are interpreted alongside symptoms and additional testing when appropriate.
