Antigenic and immunological determinants of acute allergic susceptibility to meat in a uniquely defined cohort in the Eastern Cape
… patterns. Our study demonstrates the presence of alpha-gal in both adult and larval developmental stages of A. lumbricoides, Amblyomma hebraeum and Rhipicephalus evertsi. Alpha-gal glycosylation was prominent on 100kDa and 130-250kDa protein bands. A. hebraeum and R. evertsi showed differential …

STUDIES IN THE DEVELOPMENT OF A XENOGRAFT-DERIVED BONE SCAFFOLD
… donors but have historically been limited by the alpha-Gal epitope which may lead to immune system rejection of the graft. In the presented dissertation, we derive a bone scaffold from the cancellous bone of porcine (pig) femurs using a novel decellularization and chemical oxidation protocol. In …
