Chitosan Oligosaccharide Exerts Anti-Allergic Effect against Shrimp Tropomyosin-Induced Food Allergy by Affecting Th1 and Th2 Cytokines

Shrimp-derived allergen has a serious impact on people's health. Chitosan oligosaccharide (COS) has anti-allergic action but its function on shrimp allergen-induced allergy and related molecular mechanisms remain unclear.COS and its degrees of polymerization (DP) were selected to interact with shrimp tropomyosin (TM) and IgE was measured. A mouse model of food allergy was established by receiving shrimp TM intraperitoneally. The models were...
