Interesting report of series of food challenges in European patients with delayed reactions to mammalian meat. The investigators used cofactors (exercise) and organ meats to demonstrate that timing can be influenced by both of these variables.

Clin Exp Allergy. 2014;44:1061–8. The prevalence of sIgE to alpha-gal has been a lingering question. The prevalence of alpha-gal sIgE antibodies in two general adult European populations (Denmark and Spain) was found to be 5.5% and 8.1%, respectively. The presence of alpha-gal sIgE antibodies was associated with a history of tick bites, atopy, and cat ownership.

The issue of whether the fixation process destroys alpha-gal moieties present on porcine and bovine valves has been the source of speculation and conflicting reports. This recent report demonstrates the presence of alpha-gal on valves and appears to end the discussion.
