  • DIAGNOSIS AND TREATMENT OF GLUTEN-INDUCED AUTOIMMUNE DISEASES
    Publication number: 20130045493
    Abstract: The invention relates to selective diagnosis of gluten-induced autoimmune diseases by binding assays utilizing the main celiac epitope present on proteins of the transglutaminase family. The invention also relates to treatment of gluten-induced autoimmune diseases by inhibiting binding of celiac autoantibodies by therapeutic compounds.

  • Method and means for detecting gluten-induced diseases
    Patent number: 7361480
    Abstract: The invention is directed to a method of detecting gluten-induced diseases such as e.g. celiac disease and dermatitis herpetiformis. Said diseases are indicated by the presence of autoantibodies against tissue transglutaminase tTG in the blood The test is carried out on a whole blood sample using tTG liberated from the red blood cells of the blood sample as an autoantigen. The liberated autoantigens react with the autoantibodies in the sample and form antigen-antibody complexes, which are detected. The presence of such complexes indicates the disease. The invention is also directed to the use of the autoantigen in a test and to a test-kit.
