About Beta Lactoglobulin (BLG) Allergy Test in Suitland
Beta-lactoglobulin is a whey protein and a recognized major allergen in cow's milk.
Cow's milk contains casein and whey proteins; beta-lactoglobulin is the principal whey protein and a frequent target of IgE-mediated immune responses.
An IgE blood test detects antibodies that bind beta-lactoglobulin. A detectable level indicates sensitization, which a clinician interprets alongside symptoms and history.
Because milk proteins can appear in processed foods and other products, identifying the specific allergen helps inform avoidance and management strategies.
