Research advances in animal models of cow's milk protein allergy / 国际儿科学杂志

ABSTRACT

Cow's milk protein allergy (CMPA) is the most common food allergy among infants and young children,which has an increasing incidence in recent years.Performing suitable animal experiments is a key to study CMPA,but currently there aren't proper models consistent with human physiological sensitization process.Ideal animal models can serve as critical tools to reveal the mechanisms of CMPA and develop preventive and therapeutic approaches.Animal species and strains,different types of the models,biological detection methods and evaluation are reviewed in this paper.It also summarizes characteristics of animal models,which will provide a reference for basic and applied researches of CMPA.
