Providing a
milk allergy testing technology that can measure the level of milk
allergen-specific IgE antibodies associated with the patient's
milk allergy status. [Solution] A device and kit for testing milk allergies, comprising an
epitope peptide mixture comprising at least six peptides selected from the group consisting of (a)
a peptide containing the
amino acid sequence shown in SEQ ID NO: 1, (b)
a peptide containing the
amino acid sequence shown in SEQ ID NO: 2, (c)
a peptide containing the
amino acid sequence shown in SEQ ID NO: 3, (d) a
peptide containing the amino acid sequence shown in SEQ ID NO: 4, (e) a
peptide containing the amino acid sequence shown in SEQ ID NO: 5, (f) a peptide containing the amino acid sequence shown in SEQ ID NO: 6, (g) a peptide containing the amino acid sequence shown in SEQ ID NO: 7, (h) a peptide containing the amino acid sequence shown in SEQ ID NO: 8, (i) a peptide containing the amino acid sequence shown in SEQ ID NO: 9, (j) a peptide containing the amino acid sequence shown in SEQ ID NO: 10, (k) a peptide containing the amino acid sequence shown in SEQ ID NO: 11, and (l) a peptide containing the amino acid sequence shown in SEQ ID NO: 12, and 0 to 2 peptides selected from the group consisting of (m) a peptide containing the amino acid sequence shown in SEQ ID NO: 13 and (n) a peptide containing the amino acid sequence shown in SEQ ID NO: 14, as well as a method for measuring milk
allergen-specific antibodies and a method for testing milk allergies using the
epitope peptide mixture.
