But we could force the cells to produce alpha-gal via mRNA, right? And once the alpha-gal is in the bloodstream, the end result is the same as if it would have been injected by the tick, a immune reaction.

Read the review article linked elsewhere: https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC6554561/ https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC6554561/ Alpha-Gal syndrome is characterized by IgE (allergic) antibodies, and the mechanism that induces them is complicated. Merely putting an antigen into your body doesn’t do it.
