BALB/c mice were divided in groups of non-sensitized or sensitized by oral route to cow's milk or colonized by FM1 [10^7 cfu/mL ofBifidobacterium longum (Bfl) and 10^8 cfu/mL of Streptococcus thermophillus (Stl)] and sensitized by oral route to cow's milk or colonized by FM2 [10^7 cfu/mL of Bfl and 10^7 cfu/mL ofLactobacillusplantarum (LbO)] and sensitized to cow's milk. Blood was sampled and the amount of anti-β-Lactoglobulin (β-Lg) IgG was measured. Mice were sacrificed, fragments of their intestines were isolated to inspect the structural changes of intestinal mucosa. A significant anti-β-Lg response was elicited by oral sensitization in positive control compared to other groups. Inspection of villi structural changes reveal signs of inflammation in challenged group compared with FM1 and FM2 groups, which conserved long villi characteristic of negative controls. The colonization of intestines by BfI-StI and BfI-LbO, and the evaluation of the residual antigenicity of β-Lg in mice sensitized to bovine milk by oral route followed by histological studies, revealed that FM1 and FM2 play protective role and reduce the histological lesions typical of bovine milk allergy.展开更多
