cow's milk powder

Cow's milk powder is an investigational therapeutic agent used in oral immunotherapy (OIT) for the treatment of cow's milk allergy. Developed and studied extensively by Johns Hopkins University in collaboration with the University of North Carolina, this approach involves the oral administration of gradually increasing doses of standardized milk proteins, primarily casein and beta-lactoglobulin. The treatment aims to induce clinical desensitization by modulating the immune system's IgE-mediated response, thereby increasing the threshold for allergic reactions upon accidental exposure. The material used in these clinical trials is typically a standardized, organic, nonfat dry milk powder prepared specifically for therapeutic use.
