Bioactive and latent TGF-β (inactive precursor of bioactive TGF-β) measured in supernatants of casein-stimulated PBMCs from children with FPIES to milk (milk-FPIES) and children with FPIES to cow’s milk that just passed a food challenge to cow’s milk, namely just resolved their intolerance (milk-FPIES-resolved).

	Milk-FPIES (n=6)	Milk—FPIES-resolved (n=4)	p-value
Bioactive TGF-β (ng/ml)	0 (0 – 0)	0.003 (0 – 0.03)	0.294
Activated latent TGF-β (ng/ml)	0 (0 – 0)	0.61 (0.19 – 1.59)	0.041
