Cutting Edge: IL-1 Controls the IL-23 Response Induced by Gliadin, the Etiologic Agent in Celiac Disease
1 Oct 2008

IL-23 has been implicated in the pathogenesis of several tissue-specific autoimmune diseases. Currently, celiac disease (CD) is the only autoimmune disease in which both the major genetic (95% HLA-DQ2(+)) and etiologic factors (dietary glutens) for susceptibility are known.
