Total IgE in newborns treated prophylactically with conalbumin.
Conalbumin has been used as a prophylactic treatment in artificially fed babies to prevent enteritic infections. Conalbumin being a heterologous protein, it could have sensitizing properties. The trial here reported demonstrated that when conalbumin-treated milk was fed to 15 such babies for 60 days the values of total IgE, as determined by the radioimmunoassay method, remained within the normal range.
