Gluten Quantification of Foods via the Immunodominant Gliadin Epitope

Intestinal digestive resistance of immunodominant gliadin peptides.

Two recently identified immunodominant epitopes from alpha-gliadin account for most of the stimulatory activity of dietary gluten on intestinal and peripheral T lymphocytes in patients with celiac sprue. The proteolytic kinetics of peptides containing these epitopes were analyzed in vitro using soluble proteases from bovine and porcine pancreas and brush-border membrane vesicles from adult rat ...

Gliadin antibody detection in gluten enteropathy

Circulating antigliadin antibody has been described in patients with gluten enteropathy although the prevalence varies in different studies. It has been suggested that the investigation for antigliadin antibody might be useful as a screening test. The object of the present study was to evaluate two different techniques for assaying these antibodies - an indirect immunofluorescent method and an ...

Chapter 1 Gluten: A Balance of Gliadin and Glutenin

new semigroup compactifications via the enveloping semigroups of associated flows

this thesis deals with the construction of some function algebras whose corresponding semigroup compactification are universal with respect to some properies of their enveloping semigroups. the special properties are of beigan a left zero, a left simple, a group, an inflation of the right zero, and an inflation of the rectangular band.

IgA antibodies against gliadin and gluten in multiple sclerosis.

BACKGROUND Multiple changes in antibodies against various antigens are found in multiple sclerosis (MS). OBJECTIVE We wanted to measure immunoglobulin A (IgA) antibodies to some common food antigens in MS and also IgG against gliadin and gluten. METHODS The IgA antibodies were measured in serum against gluten, gliadin, lactoglobulin, lactalbumin, casein and ovalbumin in patients with MS and...
