Metalloprotease and p23: tick salivary proteins involved in the response to alpha-Gal and mycobacterial infection in zebrafish
A recent study provides new insights into the role of two tick salivary proteins, a metalloprotease and p23, in the development of the alpha-Gal syndrome (AGS), an allergic reaction to red meat consumption in humans. The study also explores their potential protective effect against tuberculosis, using zebrafish as an animal model to analyze the immunological mechanisms involved.
