About Alpha Gal (Mammalian Meat) Allergy Test in Jackson
Alpha-gal is a carbohydrate found in the tissues of most mammals, but not in humans or other primates.
The Alpha Gal (Mammalian Meat) Allergy Test detects IgE antibodies that bind to alpha-gal. IgE is an antibody class associated with allergic responses. The test is typically performed on a blood sample.
Sensitization to alpha-gal has been associated with reactions that may occur several hours after consuming mammalian meat such as beef, pork, lamb, or venison. The delay in symptoms distinguishes it from many other food allergies.
Results are reported as quantitative values or as positive or negative, depending on the laboratory method. Interpretation requires clinical correlation because sensitization does not always equate to a clinical allergy.
