ABSTRACT

Alpha-gal syndrome (AGS) is a mammalian meat allergy associated with tick bites and specific IgE to the oligosaccharide galactose-α-1,3-galactose (α-gal). Recent studies have shown that 10-20% of AGS patients also react to the dairy proteins. Considering the already described role of the meat lipid fraction in AGS manifestations, the aim of this work has been to investigate whether the milk fat globule proteins (MFGPs) could be involved in AGS. The MFGPs are extracted and their recognition by the IgE of AGS patients is proved through immunoblotting experiments. The identification of the immunoreactive proteins by LC-HRMS analysis allows to demonstrate for the first time that butyrophillin, lactadherin, and xanthine oxidase (XO) are α-gal glycosylated. The role of xanthine oxidase seems to be prevalent since it is highly recognized by both the anti-α-gal antibody and AGS patient sera. The results obtained in this study provide novel insights in the characterization of α-Gal carrying glycoproteins in bovine milk, supporting the possibility that milk, especially in its whole form, may give reactions in AGS patients. Although additional factors are probably associated with the clinical manifestations, the avoidance of milk and milk products should be considered in individuals with AGS showing symptoms related to milk consumption.
