Abstract: Provided are compositions and methods for diagnosis of celiac disease. The compositions include recombinant proteins that contain tissue transglutaminase and deamidated gliadin sequences. The gliadin sequences are repeated in the recombinant proteins. Also provided is a method for identifying an individual as having celiac disease based on the presence of antibodies in a sample from the individual, where the anti-bodies specifically recognize the recombinant protein, and identifying the individual as not having celiac disease based on an absence of antibodies that specifically recognize the recombinant protein.

Abstract: A flexible diagnostic workstation comprises is equipped to read label information on well strips of loaded well plates and on loaded reagent kit holders, automatically perform the pre-analytical steps of an immuno-assay which consists of a sequence of operations in accordance with scheduled test requirements for each microwell, read the results according to either a standard singleplex ELISA or multiplex test format as indicated by the well strip label, and report the results.
