CD5 B-Cell Predominant Primary Immunodeficiency: Part of the Spectrum of Deficiency.
Ther Adv Allergy Rhinol
September 2023
Article Synopsis
- Selective anti-polysaccharide antibody deficiency (SPAD) and the novel primary immunodeficiency (PID) known as XMEN are linked to CD5 B-cell predominance, with recent studies revealing more phenotypic variance due to mutations in the MAGT1 gene.
- A prospective classification update is suggested to accurately reflect the impact of MAGT1 glycobiological defects and to consider past cases that exhibited similar B-cell characteristics.
- Immunological evaluations using flow cytometry and next-generation sequencing confirmed a specific MAGT1 mutation, proposing the need for a revised classification that integrates both SPAD and XMEN insights based on recent findings.
No Bull: A Case of Alpha-Gal Syndrome Associated With Buffalo Meat Sensitivity.
Allergy Rhinol (Providence)
December 2019
Introduction: Alpha (⍺)-gal syndrome (AGS) is an immunoglobulin E (IgE) antibody response against the glycoprotein carbohydrate galactose-⍺-1,3-galactose-β-1-(3)4-N-acetylglucosamine-R (Gal⍺-1,3Galβ1-(3)4GlcNAc-R or ⍺-gal) that is present in (tick) saliva and noncatarrhine mammals as well as cetuximab, antivenom, and the zoster vaccine. The most frequently observed anaphylactic reactions in AGS are observed after beef, pork, lamb, and deer meat consumption. We present the first case of anaphylaxis to buffalo meat.
