Abstract
Dried blood spot succinylacetone (SA) is often used as a biomarker for newborn screening (NBS) for tyrosinemia type 1 (TT1). However, false-positive SA results are often observed. Elevated SA may also be due to maleylacetoacetate isomerase deficiency (MAAI-D), which appears to be clinically insignificant. This study investigated whether urine organic acid (uOA) and quantitative urine maleic acid (Q-uMA) analyses can distinguish between TT1 and MAAI-D. We reevaluated/measured uOA (GC-MS) and/or Q-uMA (LC-MS/MS) in available urine samples of nine referred newborns (2 TT1, 7 false-positive), eight genetically confirmed MAAI-D children, and 66 controls. Maleic acid was elevated in uOA of 5/7 false-positive newborns and in the three available samples of confirmed MAAI-D children, but not in TT1 patients. Q-uMA ranged from not detectable to 1.16 mmol/mol creatinine in controls (n = 66) and from 0.95 to 192.06 mmol/mol creatinine in false-positive newborns and MAAI-D children (n = 10). MAAI-D was genetically confirmed in 4/7 false-positive newborns, all with elevated Q-uMA, and rejected in the two newborns with normal Q-uMA. No sample was available for genetic analysis of the last false-positive infant with elevated Q-uMA. Our study shows that MAAI-D is a recognizable cause of false-positive TT1 NBS results. Elevated urine maleic acid excretion seems highly effective in discriminating MAAI-D from TT1.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Mammalian meat is the most common trigger of the allergic reactions in patients with α-Gal syndrome (AGS). Milk and dairy, although less often, also cause a significant number of allergic manifestations. The aim of this study was to identify α-Gal-containing bovine milk proteins with allergenic properties among AGS patients. METHODS Thirty-eight AGS patients with IgE to milk were included in the study. Milk proteins were analyzed for the presence of α-Gal and for binding by patients' IgE using immunoblot, ImmunoCAP, and inhibition ELISA. Allergenicity of milk and milk proteins was assessed by basophil activation test. RESULTS More than half of the AGS patients reported allergic reactions to milk or dairy products. Bovine γ-globulin (BGG), lactoferrin (LF), and lactoperoxidase (LPO) were identified as α-Gal carrying proteins which were recognized by AGS patients' IgE. Whey mirrored the anti-α-Gal and IgE reactivity of BGG, LF, and LPO. Eighty-nine percent of the patients displayed IgE to BGG, 91% to LF, and 57% to LPO. Inhibition of α-Gal-specific IgE binding was achieved by BGG, LF, LPO, and whey. These proteins also activated AGS patients' basophils. Interestingly, at lower concentrations, LF was the most potent inhibitor of IgE binding, and the most potent activator of basophils. CONCLUSION BGG, LF, and LPO were all found to be relevant milk α-Gal-containing glycoproteins that bound AGS patients' IgE antibodies and activated their basophils. These proteins are probably involved in the allergic reactions to milk in AGS patients. LPO was for the first time shown to be an allergen.

Abstract
Cow's milk proteins cause allergic symptoms in 2-3% of all infants. In these individuals, the tolerogenic state of the intestinal immune system is broken, which can lead to sensitization against antigens and eventually to allergic responses. Although a true treatment for food allergy is not available, symptoms can be avoided by providing the infants with hydrolyzed proteins. Hydrolyzed proteins are proteins that are enzymatically degraded. They lack typical allergenic IgE-binding epitopes but are also thought to play a pertinent role in other mechanisms inducing hypoallergenic effects. This review discusses the mechanisms and evidence for immunomodulating properties of cow's milk hydrolysates. Hydrolysates are found to strengthen the epithelial barrier, modulate T-cell differentiation, and decrease inflammation. Some studies suggest a role for hydrolysates in manipulating pathogen recognition receptors signaling as underlying mechanism. Peptides from hydrolysates have been shown to bind to TLR2 and TLR4 and influence cytokine production in epithelial cells and macrophages. Current insight suggests that hydrolysates may actively participate in modulating the immune responses in subjects with cow's milk allergy and those at risk to develop cow's milk allergy. However, more research is required to design effective and reproducible means to develop targeting strategies to modulate the immune response.
