Monoclonal antibody ELISA to quantitate wheat gliadin contamination of gluten-free foods. 1987

A R Freedman, and G Galfrè, and E Gal, and H J Ellis, and P J Ciclitira

A sensitive reproducible monoclonal antibody-based sandwich ELISA has been developed to measure the gliadin content of foods. Using the assay we have confirmed that nominally gluten-free products based on wheat starch contain trace amounts of gliadin. The level of gliadin contamination in these foods is sufficient to cause relapse of coeliac disease in specific patients. We have also examined the cross-reactivity of different cereal proteins in the assay and found good correlation with their known toxicity to patients with coeliac disease.

D003429 Cross Reactions Serological reactions in which an antiserum against one antigen reacts with a non-identical but closely related antigen. Cross Reaction,Reaction, Cross,Reactions, Cross
D004797 Enzyme-Linked Immunosorbent Assay An immunoassay utilizing an antibody labeled with an enzyme marker such as horseradish peroxidase. While either the enzyme or the antibody is bound to an immunosorbent substrate, they both retain their biologic activity; the change in enzyme activity as a result of the enzyme-antibody-antigen reaction is proportional to the concentration of the antigen and can be measured spectrophotometrically or with the naked eye. Many variations of the method have been developed.
