Peptidomics of an in vitro digested α-Gal carrying protein revealed IgE-reactive peptides

Abstract The mammalian carbohydrate galactose-α1,3-galactose (α-Gal) causes a novel form of food allergy, red meat allergy, where patients experience severe allergic reactions several hours after red meat consumption. Here we explored gastric digestion of α-Gal glycoproteins using an in vitro model....
