Abstract: The method allows to obtain gluten detoxified flours suitable for the preparation of bakery products and pasta made from wheat. With the use of the method gluten proteins undergo structural changes that do not activate in patients suffering from celiac disease, the cascade of inflammatory cytokines. Such structural changes, in addition, do not affect the technical properties of the flours that form the dough, therefore allowing the preparation of detoxified products, similar in taste and appearance to those commonly used in Mediterranean diet and which are intended not only for the people who suffer from intolerance to gluten, but for the whole population. The widespread use of such detoxified products in large part of the population has the purpose, in a totally innovative way, to provoke the reduction of gluten's effects in people's health and therefore to the decrease in the incidence of celiac disease.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a renal carcinoma cell line capable of activating the immune system in an antigen-specific manner. According to a further aspect, the invention also includes derivatives of the cell line that maintain said activation capacity. The invention also comprises a method for targeting and activating immune system cells against cells of clear cell renal carcinoma. Said method comprises the co-incubation of isolated immune system cells (dendritic cells, CD4+, CD8+ lymphocytes etc.) with cells of the RCC BA85#21 line in accordance with the invention in a suitable culture medium, for a time sufficient to obtain antigen specific cells.
