The recent recognition of a syndrome of tick‐acquired mammalian meat allergy has
transformed the previously held view that mammalian meat is an uncommon allergen. The …

Alpha‐gal syndrome (AGS) describes a wide spectrum of hypersensitivity reactions
mediated by specific IgE to the α‐gal epitope (galactose‐α‐1, 3‐galactose) ubiquitously …

The mammalian meat allergy known as the “α-Gal syndrome” relates to IgE specific for
galactose-α-1, 3-galactose (α-Gal), an oligosaccharide that is present in cells and tissues of …

The alpha-gal allergy is an emerging IgE-mediated reaction against the galactose-alpha-1,
3-galactose carbohydrate found in mammalian meats. Patients with this condition will …

It is now well recognized that IgE antibodies to galactose-alpha-1, 3-galactose (alpha-gal)
result in delayed anaphylaxis to mammalian meats, including beef, pork, and lamb, among …

Background IgE to galactose alpha-1, 3 galactose (alpha-gal) causes alpha-gal syndrome
(delayed anaphylaxis after ingestion of mammalian meat). Development of sensitization has …

A novel delayed anaphylactic reaction to red meat, associated with tick bites and IgE
antibodies against galactose-α-1, 3-galactose (α-gal), was reported in 2009 in the US …

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 …

Tick bites, associated with the secretion of tick saliva containing the xenoglycan galactose-
alpha-1, 3-galactose (alpha-gal or aGal), are recognized as the causal factors of alpha-Gal …

Abstract Purpose of Review The alpha-Gal (α-Gal) syndrome is characterized by the
presence of IgE antibodies directed at the carbohydrate galactose-alpha-1, 3-galactose (α …
