The red meat allergy syndrome in Sweden [PDF]
Allergo Journal International, 2016 Summary In the last decade, a novel type of food allergy presenting with severe allergic reactions several hours after consumption of red meat has been recognized. The allergic responses are due to IgE antibodies directed against the carbohydrate epitope galactose-α-1,3-galactose (α-Gal) found in mammalian meat.

Investigation into the α-Gal Syndrome: Characteristics of 261 Children and Adults Reporting Red Meat Allergy [PDF]
Journal of Allergy and Clinical Immunology: in Practice, 2019 Red meat allergy has historically been understood as a rare disease of atopic children, but the discovery of the "α-Gal syndrome," which relates to IgE to the oligosaccharide galactose-α-1,3-galactose (α-Gal), has challenged that notion.To describe the clinical and immunologic characteristics of a large group of subjects with self-reported allergy to ...

Red meat allergy in Sweden: Association with tick sensitization and B-negative blood groups [PDF]
Journal of Allergy and Clinical Immunology, 2013 Over the past few years, allergy to mammalian meat has been identified as a new syndrome of food allergy presenting as symptoms of delayed severe allergic reactions after consumption of red meat (beef, lamb, or pork).1-4 These allergic reactions are directed against the carbohydrate galactose-α-1,3-galactose (α-Gal).

Relationship between red meat allergy and sensitization to gelatin and galactose-α-1,3-galactose [PDF]
Journal of Allergy and Clinical Immunology, 2012 We have observed patients clinically allergic to red meat and meat-derived gelatin.We describe a prospective evaluation of the clinical significance of gelatin sensitization, the predictive value of a positive test result, and an examination of the relationship between allergic reactions to red meat and sensitization to gelatin and galactose-α-1,3 ...

The quantity and quality of α-gal-specific antibodies differ in individuals with and without delayed red meat allergy [PDF]
Allergy: European Journal of Allergy and Clinical Immunology, 2017 IgG to galactose-α-1,3-galactose (α-gal) are highly abundant natural antibodies (Ab) in humans. α-Gal-specific IgE Ab cause a special form of meat allergy characterized by severe systemic reactions 3-7 h after consumption of red meat. We investigated 20 patients who experienced such reactions and characterized their α-gal-specific IgE and IgG responses

Tick bites and red meat allergy. [PDF]
Curr Opin Allergy Clin Immunol, 2013 A novel form of anaphylaxis has been described that is due to IgE antibody (Ab) directed against a mammalian oligosaccharide epitope, galactose-alpha-1,3-galactose (alpha-gal). Ongoing work regarding the cause and distribution of this IgE response is reviewed.Our recent work has identified a novel IgE Ab response that has been associated with two ...

Discovery of Alpha-Gal-Containing Antigens in North American Tick Species Believed to Induce Red Meat Allergy [PDF]
Frontiers in Immunology, 2019 Development of specific IgE antibodies to the oligosaccharide galactose-α-1, 3-galactose (α-gal) following tick bites has been shown to be the source of red meat allergy. In this study, we investigated the presence of α-gal in four tick species: the lone-
