Abstract excerpt
AIMS: Our aim was to study whether immune responses to wheat-based proteins are related to the development of type 1 diabetes. METHODS: We analysed proliferative T-cell responses after in vitro gliadin, gluten, whole wheat, and tetanus toxoid stimulation with a carboxyfluorescein succinimidyl ester (CFSE) based T-cell proliferation assay in children at various phases of type 1 diabetes autoimmunity and in healthy...
