Humans evolved by losing the capacity to synthesize the glycan Galalpha1-3Galbeta1-(3)4GlcNAc-R (alpha-Gal), which resulted in the development of a protective response mediated by anti-alpha-Gal IgM/IgG/IgA antibodies against pathogens containing this modification on membrane proteins. As an evolutionary trade-off, humans can develop the alpha-Gal syndrome (AGS), a recently diagnosed disease mediated by anti-alpha-Gal IgE antibodies and associated with allergic reactions to mammalian meat consumption and tick bites. However, the anti-alpha-Gal antibody response may be associated with other immune-mediated disorders such as those occurring in patients with COVID-19 and Guillain-Barre syndrome (GBS). Here, we provide a dataset (209 entries) on the IgE/IgM/IgG/IgA anti-alpha-Gal antibody response in healthy individuals and patients diagnosed with AGS, tick-borne allergies, GBS and COVID-19. The data allows correlative analyses of the anti-alpha-Gal antibody response with factors such as patient and clinical characteristics, record of tick bites, blood group, age and sex. These analyses could provide insights into the role of anti-alpha-Gal antibody response in disease symptomatology and possible protective mechanisms.
