Galactose-a-1,3-galactose sensitization and the a-gal syndrome: characteristics of subjects seeking emergency care

Galactose - α-1,3- galactose (α-Gal) is an oligosaccharide of non-primate mammals and the culprit allergen in a syndrome of delayed anaphylaxis to mammalian meat (ie, α-Gal syndrome).
