A catalogue of Triticum monococcum genes encoding toxic and immunogenic peptides for celiac disease patients

Abstract excerpt

The celiac disease (CD) is an inflammatory condition characterized by injury to the lining of the small-intestine on exposure to the gluten of wheat, barley and rye. The involvement of gluten in the CD syndrome has been studied in detail in bread wheat, where a set of "toxic" and "immunogenic" peptides has been defined. For wheat diploid species, information on CD epitopes is poor. In the present paper, we have...
