The lymphocyte transformation test in coeliac disease: effect of gliadin and detoxified gliadin. 1980

J P Crowe, and J J Phelan, and W F Cleere, and P F Fottrell, and B McNicholl, and C F McCarthy

Following in vitro stimulation with phytohaemagglutinin, lymphocytes from coeliac patients transformed less than those from control subjects. Neither gliadin nor detoxified gliadin stimulated lymphocyte transformation in patients with adult coeliac disease, but depressed transformation in lymphocytes from normal subjects and from patients on a gluten-free diet.

UI MeSH Term Description Entries
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.

D010835 Phytohemagglutinins Mucoproteins isolated from the kidney bean (Phaseolus vulgaris); some of them are mitogenic to lymphocytes, others agglutinate all or certain types of erythrocytes or lymphocytes. They are used mainly in the study of immune mechanisms and in cell culture.
