Bos d 13, A Novel Heat-Stable Beef Allergen.

Scope: Red meat, a staple food of Western diets, can also induce IgE-mediated allergic reactions. Yet, apart from the heat-labile protein serum albumin and the carbohydrate α-Gal, the molecules causing allergic reactions to red meat remain unknown.

Methods And Results: IgE reactivity profiles of beef-sensitized individuals are analyzed by IgE-immunoblotting with protein extracts from raw and cooked beef.

Gal d 7-a major allergen in primary chicken meat allergy.

Background: Poultry meat can induce severe allergic reactions. So far, the molecules causing poultry meat allergy are largely unknown.

Objective: Our aim was to identify and characterize poultry meat allergens.

Update on the bird-egg syndrome and genuine poultry meat allergy.

Allergy to poultry meat is rare and affects both children and adults. The prevalence of poultry meat allergy is unknown, but presumably is similar to that of red meat allergy. There is no close relationship between allergy to poultry meat and allergy to red meat.
