Direct contact of food proteins with eczematous lesions is thought to be the main cause of epicutaneous sensitization. To further investigate the development and pathogenesis of food allergy in vivo, a good mouse model of epicutaneous sensitization is needed. However, a fundamental problem in that regard is that the optimal age for epicutaneous sensitization of mice is unknown. In this study, we attempted to elucidate that optimal age.
