Nomenclature and listing of celiac disease relevant gluten T-cell epitopes restricted by HLA-DQ molecules

Ludvig M Sollid et al. Immunogenetics. 2012 Jun.

Abstract

Celiac disease is caused by an abnormal intestinal T-cell response to gluten proteins of wheat, barley and rye. Over the last few years, a number of gluten T-cell epitopes restricted by celiac disease associated HLA-DQ molecules have been characterized. In this work, we give an overview of these epitopes and suggest a comprehensive, new nomenclature.
