1 Oct 2001
Abstract excerpt
OBJECTIVES: Antibodies that detect coeliac-toxic prolamins from wheat, barley and rye are important tools for controlling the diet of coeliac disease patients. Recently, a monoclonal antibody R5 that recognizes wheat gliadin, barley hordein and rye secalin equally was described. In this study, the epitope recognized by R5 was investigated. METHODS: Both a phage-displayed heptapeptide library and overlapping...
