Detection of α1,3-Gal antigen and α1,3GT activity in stools from healthy donors exhibiting bacterial α1,3GT gene sequences in their shotgun analysis. (A) Levels of α1,3-Gal antigen detected by ELISA in stools from 6 healthy volunteers. (B) Activity of α1,3GT enzymes detected by ELISA in stools from six healthy volunteers. (C) Correlation between the number of detected bacteria species harboring α1,3GT gene sequences and the amounts of Gal antigen in stools.
