Research on Alpha-gal Syndrome
(the Mammalian Meat Allergy)

With this publications database, we hope to consolidate all the peer-reviewed research on alpha-gal syndrome, as well as select publications on related topics such as:

  • pork-cat syndrome and other mammalian meat allergies
  • other carbohydrate allergies
  • cross-reactive carbohydrate determinants
  • the role of ecto- and endoparasites in inducing food allergy
  • vector management and ecology
  • the evolution of the α-gal immune response
  • allergy and autoimmune disease
  • hypersensitivity reactions to biologics
  • co-factors
  • idiopathic anaphylaxis
  • airborne reactions to food allergens
  • carrageenan, mammalian byproducts, cross-contamination of meat products, and other relevant food and food industry issues
  • viral glycan shields and the development of drugs and vaccines employing the α-gal immune response
  • xenotransplantation and the development of knock-out pigs

Some gray literature and relevant government, industry, and nonprofit documents were included.
