Allergic reactions to mammalian meat consumption in zebrafish treated with tick salivary proteins. Experiment 1. Zebrafish were treated with recombinant tick salivary proteins, metalloprotease (MET) or allergen-like p23 (p23), in combination with saliva non-protein fraction (NPF) and in comparison, with tick saliva, saliva NPF, Subolesin (SUB)-NPF and PBS. Zebrafish were examined daily and the incidence of hemorrhagic type allergic reactions, abnormal behavior and feeding patterns and cumulative mortality were compared between treatments by one-way ANOVA test with post-hoc Tukey HSD test (p < 0.05; n = 13–20 biological replicates). Significant differences between treatments and PBS control are shown with post-hoc Tukey HSD p-values. Color of the asterisk of significant differences are associated with treatment line.
