Alpha – Gal Syndrome and Red Meat Allergy in Human

Global Academic Journal of Medical Sciences, 2023
The present paper deals with the study of a kind of food allergy developed after the bite of Loan- star tick and the consumption of red meat in human. This is called as the alpha-gal – syndrome (AGS) allergy in human. The mammalian meat allergy (MMA) is developed due to the injection of galactose alpha- 1,3- galactose sugar molecule in the human body ...

[Red meat allergy].

Revue medicale suisse, 2020
The goal of this article is to provide an informative review on allergy to mammalian meat. The main allergen contained in « red meat » is the alpha-gal (galactose-alpha-1,3-galactose) that is found in all non-primate mammalian tissues. IgE-mediated allergy to alpha-gal appears typically delayed from the consumption of meat, often three to six hours ...

Salivary Prostaglandin E2: Role in Tick-Induced Allergy to Red Meat

Trends in Parasitology, 2017
Tick-induced allergy to red meat is associated with anti-α-Gal IgE antibody levels. We propose that tick salivary prostaglandin E2 triggers antibody class switching in mature B cells, increasing the levels of anti-α-Gal IgE antibodies. Immune tolerance to α-Gal in blood type B individuals might reduce the risk to this allergy.

Red meat allergy induced by tick bites: A Norwegian case report [PDF]

European Annals of Allergy and Clinical Immunology, 2017
Food allergies, especially delayed hypersensitivity reactions, are often challenging for both patients and clinicians. Here, we report the case of a 64-year-old man who had allergic reactions six hours after eating a meal containing red meat. He reported that he had several tick bites in months before the reaction.

An association between tick bite reactions and red meat allergy in humans

Medical Journal of Australia, 2009
Twenty-five patients living in a tick-endemic region of Sydney, New South Wales developed red meat allergy after experiencing large local reactions to tick bites. This represents a potentially novel cross-reaction between an arthropod and a food protein. (MJA 2009; 190: 510-511).

Red Meat Allergies after Lone Star Tick (Amblyomma americanum) Bites

Southern Medical Journal, 2020
Red meat allergies have followed tick bites on every continent except Antarctica. The sensitizing antigen is galactose-α-1,3-galactose (α-gal), an oligosaccharide constituent of nonprimate blood and meat, acquired by ticks during animal bloodfeeding. Because red meat allergy after tick bites is a worldwide phenomenon, the objectives of this review were

Alpha-gal Syndrome: The Red Meat Allergy

Although alpha-gal or α-gal Syndrome (AGS) is a relatively new condition, ongoing research enhances our understanding of its development and management. Case histories of those with AGS suggest that individuals with multiple tick bites are more likely to develop AGS.

Haemaphysalis longicornis tick bites are a possible cause of red meat allergy in Japan

Allergy, 2015
AbstractRecent studies revealed that Amblyomma or Ixodes tick bites may cause red meat allergy, in which galactose‐α‐1,3‐galactose (α‐Gal) is a major IgE‐binding epitope. The incidence of red meat allergy is high in Shimane Prefecture, as is tick‐transmitted Japanese spotted fever. Therefore, we speculated that tick bites may cause these meat allergies.
