Immunological behavior of in vitro digested egg‐white lysozyme

SCOPE: Besides its antimicrobial properties, lysozyme (LYS) is one of the major allergens from hen egg. This paper addresses the identification of the peptides produced upon in vitro gastrointestinal digestion of LYS, together with their IgE-binding and biological activity as a contribution to the understanding of what makes it a relevant allergen. METHODS AND RESULTS: Simulated in vitro gastrointestinal digestion together with IgE binding, …
