background: Cow's milk allergy (CMA) is the most common IgE-mediated food allergy and Bos d 5 is the major allergen in cow's milk proteins. More than 60% of the patients with CMA are sensitized to this protein. results: A recombinant protein, encoded by a synthetic gene and consisting of reassembled Bos d 5 fragments, was expressed in E. coli strain BL21 (DE3) cells and purified to homogeneity. The B5M lacked relevant IgE-reactivity and allergenic activity compared with Bos d 5 in dot-blot and basophil activation assays. T-cell proliferation experiments demonstrated that B5M preserved the main T cell epitopes of Bos d 5. Immunization of rabbits with B5M induced protective IgG antibodies that blocked the binding...
