Detect sensitizations to the complete milk to create personalized management plans for your patients. High levels of milk IgE may predict the likelihood of sensitivity, but may not be solely predictive of TC 2851 reactions to or α- duration.1 • Susceptible to heat denaturation2 • HIGHER RISK of reaction to fresh milk1,3 • LOWER RISK of reaction Milk allergen to baked milk1,3,a • Patient likely to “outgrow” component testing milk allergy4

Measurement of specific IgE by blood test that provides objective assessment of sensitization to milk is the first step in discovering your patient’s allergy. Milk allergen component tests can help α-lactalbumin β-lactoglobulin Test interpretations and next steps you determine the likelihood of reaction to baked goods, such as cookies or pizza, as well as • Avoid fresh milk the likelihood of allergy persistence. + + - • Likely to tolerate baked milk products • Baked milk oral food challenge (OFC), Knowing which protein your patient is with a specialist may be appropriate sensitized to can help you develop a + - - • Likely to outgrow allergy management plan.3,5-9 - + -

As in all diagnostic testing, a diagnosis must be made by the physician based on test results, individual patient history, the physician’s knowledge of the patient, and the physician’s clinical judgement.

aIn clinical studies, extensively baked muffin, waffle, and cheese pizza were heated to the point of protein denaturation.
