Genetic susceptibility to food allergy is linked to differential TH2-TH1 responses in C3H/HeJ and BALB/c mice

Background: Although food allergy is a serious health problem in westernized countries,
factors influencing the development of food allergy are largely unknown. Appropriate murine
models of food allergy would be useful in understanding the mechanisms underlying food
allergy in human subjects. Objective: We sought to determine the susceptibility of different
strains of mice to food hypersensitivity. Methods: C3H/HeJ and BALB/c mice were sensitized
to cow's milk (CM) or peanut by means of intragastric administration, with cholera toxin as a …
