Three Candidate Probiotic Strains Impact Gut Microbiota and Induce Anergy in Mice with Cow's Milk Allergy.

In this study, we evaluated their potential benefits in a curative mouse model of cow's milk allergy. When administered for 3-weeks after the sensitization process and a first allergic reaction, none of the strains modified the levels of sensitization and allergic markers. However, all three strains affected gut bacteria communities and modified immune and inflammatory responses leading to a tolerogenic profile. Interestingly, all three strains exerted a direct effect on dendritic cells which are known to play a major role in food sensitization through their potentially tolerogenic properties and anergic responses. Altogether, these data indicate a potentially beneficial role of the probiotic strains tested in this model of cow's milk allergy with regard to tolerance acquisition.
