Beta lactoglobulin is a whey protein found in the milk of cows and other ruminants, and it is one of the most common triggers of cow's milk allergy. The BLG (Beta Lactoglobulin) Allergy Test measures specific IgE antibodies in the blood to assess sensitization to this protein.

About Beta Lactoglobulin (BLG) Allergy Test in Butte

The Beta Lactoglobulin (BLG) Allergy Test is a blood-based immunoassay that quantifies IgE antibodies directed against beta lactoglobulin.

Beta lactoglobulin is the most abundant protein in whey, the liquid portion of milk that remains after casein curds are removed during cheese production. Because it is heat-stable relative to some other milk proteins, it can retain its allergenic structure even after pasteurization and processing.

During an allergic response, the immune system produces IgE antibodies that recognize specific epitopes on beta lactoglobulin. These antibodies bind to mast cells and basophils, and subsequent exposure to the protein can trigger the release of histamine and other mediators, producing symptoms that may involve the skin, gastrointestinal tract, or respiratory system.

A blood test for beta lactoglobulin-specific IgE provides a quantitative or semi-quantitative measure of sensitization. Results are interpreted alongside a person's clinical history and other diagnostic findings, because the presence of specific IgE alone does not always equate to a clinical allergy.
