DOI: 10.1007/s11882-025-01237-2
Abstract: Alpha-gal syndrome (AGS) is a novel allergic disease characterized by hypersensitivity responses following exposure to the glycan galactose-alpha-1,3-galactose (alpha-gal or α-Gal) attached to mammalian proteins and fats in food, supplements, and medications. Bites from hard-bodied… read more here.
