Background: Early food introduction induces tolerance, but epicutaneous exposure, especially via eczema lesions, promotes IgE sensitization. Aiming for safe and effective primary prevention of egg allergy, we examined several protease-digested egg-white (EW) products for three properties: 1) induction of oral tolerance that prevents IgE sensitization, 2) weak IgE binding that can prevent allergic reactions even in IgE-sensitized mice, and 3) minimal epicutaneous IgE sensitization even when in contact with inflamed skin.Methods: Heated EW was digested with several proteases under optimal conditions. First, three-week-old BALB/c female mice were intragastrically administered EW or each protease-digested EW product, followed by intraperitoneal ovalbumin (OVA) or ovomucoid (OVM) injection with alum. Serum OVA-and OVM-specific IgE titers were measured. Second, six-week-old mice were sensitized with OVA/OVM, and the rectal temperature was measured after intraperitoneal administration of EW or each protease-digested EW. Third, EW or each protease-digested EW product was applied to the tape-stripped skin for 3 days/week for 3 weeks. Serum OVA-and OVM-specific IgE titers were measured.Results: Orally administered pepsin-digested EW product (PDEW) and Thermoase PC10F-digested EW product (TDEW) significantly suppressed OVA-/OVM-specific IgE production. Neither product elicited a body temperature decline (anaphylaxis) in OVA-/OVM-sensitized mice. Serum OVA-/OVM-specific IgE levels were significantly lower in mice epicutaneously exposed to PDEW or TDEW than in EW-exposed mice.Conclusions: Two protease-digested EWs showed potential as optimal EW products for early introduction for primary prevention of egg allergy.
