The major food allergen, ovomucoid (molecular weight of 28 kDa) could be detected in 12 of 37 human breast milk samples by using three types of enzymelinked immunosorbent assay. By gel-filtration, ovomucoid in breast milk was only eluted in the fractions corresponding to a molecular weight of about 450 kDa, suggesting its occurrence as an immune complex with IgA. In fact, almost the same elution profile as that for ovomucoid was obtained for its immune complex with IgA by gel-filtration.
