Λεξικό .. Beta-lactoglobulin (BLG),

Milk whey proteins contain major components of alpha-lactalbumin (alphaLA) and beta-lactoglobulin (betaLG), and a minor component of lactoferrin (LF)[ 1]. BLG is a globulin found in human milk. The major allergens are caseins and beta-lactoglobulin, but allergies to other minor proteins (immunoglobulins, bovine serum albumin) have also been reported [2]]. There are reports of allergy due to beta-lactalbumin and antibodies to it have been demonstrated using allergodiscs f77. (See milk). BLG is probably the major cow milk antigen (See milk).
