Recent evidence suggests that the four electrophoretically defined gliadin subfractions (alpha, beta, gamma and omega) of wheat can induce the typical pathological finding of coeliac disease. We have prepared long-term murine T cell lines to gliadin and its four major subfractions. The cell lines were tested in proliferative assays with each homologous gliadin subfraction, and to the other gliadin subfractions. There was some cross-reactivity, with unfractionated gliadin and its alpha-subfraction being the most antigenic, while omega-gliadin was the least. These data demonstrate that gliadin components are effective stimuli for specific T cell responses, and further suggest that the alpha-gliadin subfraction generates the highest specific responses. This accords with observations in man that all four gliadin subfractions exacerbate coeliac mucosa, but that the alpha-subfraction is the most active.

D008213 Lymphocyte Activation Morphologic alteration of small B LYMPHOCYTES or T LYMPHOCYTES in culture into large blast-like cells able to synthesize DNA and RNA and to divide mitotically. It is induced by INTERLEUKINS; MITOGENS such as PHYTOHEMAGGLUTININS, and by specific ANTIGENS. It may also occur in vivo as in GRAFT REJECTION.

D013601 T-Lymphocytes Lymphocytes responsible for cell-mediated immunity. Two types have been identified - cytotoxic (T-LYMPHOCYTES, CYTOTOXIC) and helper T-lymphocytes (T-LYMPHOCYTES, HELPER-INDUCER). They are formed when lymphocytes circulate through the THYMUS GLAND and differentiate to thymocytes. When exposed to an antigen, they divide rapidly and produce large numbers of new T cells sensitized to that antigen.
