Epithelial Transport of Immunogenic and Toxic Gliadin Peptides In Vitro
21 Nov 2014
Abstract excerpt
SCOPE: Celiac disease is an autoimmune disorder caused by failure of oral tolerance against gluten in genetically predisposed individuals. The epithelial translocation of gluten-derived gliadin peptides is an important pathogenetic step; the underlying mechanisms, however, are poorly understood. Thus, we investigated the degradation and epithelial translocation of two different gliadin peptides, the toxic P31-43...
