Meat allergy associated with α‐Gal – Closing diagnostic gaps by anti‐α‐Gal IgE immune profiling

ConclusionsDetection of individual sensitization patterns with different α‐Gal‐containing analytes provides the basis for an individual allergy diagnosis for α‐Gal sensitized patients. Higher amounts of α‐Gal in pork and beef innards compared to muscle meat as indicated by a higher staining intensity are a plausible explanation for the difference in allergic symptom severity.This article is protected by copyright.
