A Case of Tick-Bite-Induced Red Meat Allergy [PDF]
Military Medicine, 2014 Delayed hypersensitivity disorders and food allergies are often challenging for the clinician and patient alike. A recent discovery of an IgE antibody specific to galactose-α-1,3-galactose, which is a carbohydrate abundantly expressed on cells and tissues of beef, pork, and lamb, adds one more tool to aid the clinician in making the appropriate ...

Ingestion of mammalian meat and alpha-gal allergy: Clinical relevance in primary care [PDF]
African Journal of Primary Health Care & Family Medicine, 2019 Background: An allergic reaction to mammalian meat has recently been reported in rural parts of South Africa and throughout other parts of the world. The cause of this allergic reaction is because of an oligosaccharide antigen known as galactose-alpha-1,

Galactose-alpha-1,3-galactose: Possible Role in Red Meat Allergy [PDF]
Journal of Biosafety & Health Education, 2013 The alpha-gal epitope is distinctive in its dispersal in mammals; it is generously expressed in non-primate mammalian, New World monkeys, and prosimians, where by contrast an IgG antibody binding to this epitope is produced naturally in humans, Old World monkeys, and apes [2].

Determining the link between alpha-gal-containing antigens in North American ticks and red meat allergy [PDF]
, 2018 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-

IgG to Galactose-Alpha-1,3-Galactose: Impact of Alpha-Gal IgE Sensitization, Blood Type, and Tick Bites [PDF]
AntibodiesBackground: Antibodies to galactose-alpha-1,3-galactose (alpha-gal), particularly the IgM and IgG isotypes, are abundant in human sera. These antibodies are known to be an important xenotransplantation barrier, but the full implications of these ...

The Immunology of Alpha‐Gal Syndrome: History, Tick Bites, IgE, and Delayed Anaphylaxis to Mammalian Meat [PDF]
Immunological Reviews, Volume 332, Issue 1, July 2025.ABSTRACT The primary features of the alpha‐gal syndrome (AGS) are (i) The IgE ab that are causally related to anaphylaxis with infusions of Cetuximab are specific for galactose alpha‐1,3‐galactose. (ii) In the USA, this IgE ab is induced by bites of the tick Amblyomma americanum. (iii) The anaphylactic reactions to food derived from non‐primate mammals
