Small angle X-ray scattering of wheat seed-storage proteins: alpha-, gamma- and omega-gliadins and the high molecular weight (HMW) subunits of glutenin. (1/429)

Small angle X-ray scattering in solution was performed on seed-storage proteins from wheat. Three different groups of gliadins (alpha-, gamma- and omega-) and a high molecular weight (HMW) subunit of glutenin (1Bx20) were studied to determine molecular size parameters. All the gliadins could be modelled as prolate ellipsoids with extended conformations. The HMW subunit existed as a highly extended rod-like particle in solution with a length of about 69 nm and a diameter of about 6.4 nm. Specific aggregation effects were observed which may reflect mechanisms of self-assembly that contribute to the unique viscoelastic properties of wheat dough.  (+info)

Measurement of gluten using a monoclonal antibody to a coeliac toxic peptide of A-gliadin. (2/429)

BACKGROUND: Future European Community regulations will require a sensitive and specific assay for measurement of coeliac toxic gluten proteins in foods marketed as gluten-free. To avoid spurious cross reactions with non-toxic proteins, specific antibodies and target antigens are required. A synthetic 19 amino acid peptide of A gliadin has been shown to cause deterioration in the morphology of small intestinal biopsy specimens of coeliac patients in remission. AIMS: To develop an assay for detection of gluten in foods, based on measurement of a known toxic peptide. METHODS: A monoclonal antibody raised against the toxic A gliadin peptide, with a polyclonal anti-unfractionated gliadin capture antibody, was used to develop a double sandwich enzyme linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) for the measurement of gluten in foods. RESULTS: Standard curves for gliadin and for rye, barley, and oat prolamins were produced. The sensitivity of the assay was 4 ng/ml of gliadin, 500 ng/ml for rye prolamins, and 1000 ng/ml for oat and barley prolamins. The assay could detect gluten in cooked foods, although at reduced sensitivity. Prolamins from coeliac non-toxic rice, maize, millet, and sorghum did not cross react in the assay. A variety of commercially available gluten-free foods were analysed; small quantities of gluten were detected in some products. CONCLUSION: The assay may form the basis of a sensitive method for measurement of gluten in foods for consumption by patients with coeliac disease.  (+info)

Determination of disulfide bonds in gamma-46 gliadin. (3/429)

The disulfide bonds in gamma-46 gliadin were identified: Cys173--Cys192, Cys212--Cys291, Cys165--Cys199 (or Cys200), Cys283--Cys200 (or Cys199). The disulfide-containing peptides were obtained by limited hydrolysis of the intact protein with chymotrypsin at an enzyme/substrate ratio of 1:1000 at 20 degrees C for 22 h with subsequent digestion of disulfide-containing fragments with trypsin and chymotrypsin. The locations of disulfide bonds were determined by sequencing disulfide-containing fractions and constituent peptides and comparison of the obtained sequences with the partial amino acid sequence of gamma-46 gliadin determined earlier.  (+info)

Is gliadin mispresented to the immune system in coeliac disease? A hypothesis. (4/429)

The primary pathogenic trigger in coeliac disease (CD) is still unknown. We present the hypothesis that in CD the enterocytes could metabolize gliadin through an immunogenic pathway instead of a tolerogenic one. The result of this abnormal presentation of gliadin to the immune system would be the activation of lamina propria T cells, followed by the onset of enteropathy.  (+info)

Mode of delivery directs the phagocyte functions of infants for the first 6 months of life. (5/429)

Factors that direct the immune responsiveness of the newborn beyond the immediate post-natal period are not known. We investigated the influence of mode of delivery and type of feeding on the phagocyte activity during the first 6 months of life. Sixty-four healthy infants (34 delivered vaginally and 30 by elective Caesarean section) were studied at birth and at the ages of 2 and 6 months. Phagocyte functions were studied by measuring the chemiluminescence (CL) activity of whole blood and isolated leucocytes and by investigating the expression of phagocyte receptors (FcgammaRI (CD64), FcgammaRII (CD32), FcgammaRIII (CD16), CR1 (CD35), CR3 (CD11b) and FcalphaR (CD89)) on neutrophils, monocytes and eosinophils by using receptor-specific MoAbs and immunofluorescence flow cytometry. Infants born by elective Caesarean section had significantly higher CL activity than those delivered vaginally during the entire 6-month follow up. In addition, infants who received formula feeds had significantly higher CL activity at 6 months of age and higher expression of FcgammaRI-, Fcalpha- and CR3-receptors on neutrophils than infants exclusively breast-fed. We suggest that stress reaction associated with labour influences the phagocytic activity measured in the cord blood but later during infancy the intraluminal antigens, gut microflora and diet, become important determinants in immune programming of human individuals.  (+info)

A non-toxic analogue of a coeliac-activating gliadin peptide: a basis for immunomodulation? (6/429)

BACKGROUND: A-gliadin residues 31-49 (peptide A) binds to HLA-DQ2 and is toxic to coeliac small bowel. Analogues of this peptide, which bind to DQ2 molecules but are non-toxic, may be a potential route to inducing tolerance to gliadin in patients with coeliac disease. METHODS: Toxicity was investigated with small bowel organ culture in six patients with untreated coeliac disease, four with treated coeliac disease and six controls. Analogue peptides comprised alanine substituted variants of peptide A at L31 (peptide D), P36 (E), P38 (F), P39 (G) and P42 (H). RESULTS: Peptides D and E were toxic in biopsies from some patients. Peptides F, G and H were not toxic. CONCLUSIONS: Peptide F, which binds to DQ2 more strongly than peptide A, is not toxic in patients with coeliac disease in-vitro; this could be an initial step towards investigation of the induction of tolerance to gliadin in patients affected by coeliac disease.  (+info)

T cell proliferation, MHC class II restriction and cytokine products of gliadin-stimulated peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMC). (7/429)

The immune response of PBMC to gliadin was investigated in patients with coeliac disease (CoD) by examining proliferation, MHC restriction and cytokine production. Gliadin induced low levels of proliferation in 63% of eight untreated patients, 32% of 28 treated patients and 35% of 31 healthy control subjects. In MHC restriction studies, the proliferative response to gliadin was inhibited (range 47-98% inhibition) in the presence of a MoAb to HLA-DR in each of three coeliac and three control donors studied. Using flow cytometry, increased expression of activation markers (HLA-DR and IL-2R) was demonstrated on gliadin-stimulated T cells from four of nine coeliac patients and three of seven healthy control donors. Cytokines were studied in culture supernatants using ELISA. Gliadin was a potent inducer of IL-6 and IL-10 in 100% of coeliac patients and controls, whereas IL-4 was not produced in either subject group. Gliadin induced IL-2 production in 40% of untreated patients, 42% of treated patients and 35% of healthy control donors. Interferon-gamma (IFN-gamma) in gliadin-stimulated cultures was found only in coeliac patients, observed in 33% of untreated patients and 25% of treated patients. Spontaneous secretion of both IL-2 and IFN-gamma was found more frequently in patients with untreated disease (87% of cases versus 21% of controls for IFN-gamma and 40% versus 0% for IL-2). These results suggest, as manifest by IFN-gamma production, that gliadin stimulates a Th1/Th0-like response in coeliac patients and a Th0-like response in healthy controls.  (+info)

IgA-gliadin antibodies, IgA-containing circulating immune complexes, and IgA glomerular deposits in wasting marmoset syndrome. (8/429)

BACKGROUND: Marmosets in captivity are highly susceptible to wasting marmoset syndrome (WMS), the aetiology of which is still not fully determined. METHODS: The level of IgA-gliadin antibodies (IgA-AGA), of IgA-containing circulating immune complexes (IgA-CIC), and the degree of glomerular IgA deposits were compared between marmosets suffering from WMS and animals not affected by the disorder. RESULTS: Both IgA-AGA and IgA-CIC were demonstrable in all groups of monkeys investigated. IgA-AGA and IgA-CIC were significantly higher in monkeys with WMS than in non-affected animals. There was a significant correlation between the glomerular IgA-deposition and titre of IgA-AGA. The group of marmosets strongly positive for glomerular IgA deposits comprised significantly more animals suffering from WMS than the group without deposits. In the diet of the animals a considerable amount of gliadin-like cereal proteins was assayed. CONCLUSIONS: There are several parallels between the human disorders (coeliac disease and IgA-nephropathy/Berger's disease) and the changes observed in WMS. It should be further investigated if WMS in marmosets is a suitable animal model for both human diseases.  (+info)

Gliadin is a protein fraction found in gluten, a complex protein that's present in certain grains such as wheat, barley, and rye. It is particularly known for its role in celiac disease, a disorder where the ingestion of gluten leads to an immune response that damages the lining of the small intestine.

Gliadin, along with another protein fraction called glutenin, makes up gluten. Gliadin is responsible for the elastic properties of dough. When water is added to flour and mixed, these proteins form a sticky network that gives dough its characteristic texture and allows it to rise and maintain its shape during baking.

In individuals with celiac disease, the immune system recognizes gliadin as a foreign invader and mounts an immune response against it. This response leads to inflammation and damage in the small intestine, preventing the absorption of nutrients from food. Over time, this can lead to various health complications if not properly managed through a gluten-free diet.

Celiac disease is a genetic autoimmune disorder in which the consumption of gluten, a protein found in wheat, barley, and rye, leads to damage in the small intestine. In people with celiac disease, their immune system reacts to gluten by attacking the lining of the small intestine, leading to inflammation and destruction of the villi - finger-like projections that help absorb nutrients from food.

This damage can result in various symptoms such as diarrhea, bloating, fatigue, anemia, and malnutrition. Over time, if left untreated, celiac disease can lead to serious health complications, including osteoporosis, infertility, neurological disorders, and even certain types of cancer.

The only treatment for celiac disease is a strict gluten-free diet, which involves avoiding all foods, beverages, and products that contain gluten. With proper management, individuals with celiac disease can lead healthy lives and prevent further intestinal damage and related health complications.

"Gluten" is not strictly defined as a medical term, but it refers to a group of proteins found in certain grains, including wheat, barley, and rye. Gluten gives these grains their elasticity and helps them maintain their shape, making it possible to bake breads and other baked goods.

From a medical perspective, gluten is significant because some people have adverse reactions to it. The two main conditions related to gluten are celiac disease and non-celiac gluten sensitivity. In both cases, consuming gluten can lead to various symptoms such as gastrointestinal distress, fatigue, and skin rashes.

Celiac disease is an autoimmune disorder where the ingestion of gluten causes damage to the small intestine lining, impairing nutrient absorption. On the other hand, non-celiac gluten sensitivity does not involve an immune response or intestinal damage but can still cause uncomfortable symptoms in some individuals.

It is essential to understand that a gluten-free diet should be medically recommended and supervised by healthcare professionals for those diagnosed with celiac disease or non-celiac gluten sensitivity, as it may lead to nutritional deficiencies if not properly managed.

Transglutaminases are a family of enzymes that catalyze the post-translational modification of proteins by forming isopeptide bonds between the carboxamide group of peptide-bound glutamine residues and the ε-amino group of lysine residues. This process is known as transamidation or cross-linking. Transglutaminases play important roles in various biological processes, including cell signaling, differentiation, apoptosis, and tissue repair. There are several types of transglutaminases, such as tissue transglutaminase (TG2), factor XIII, and blood coagulation factor XIIIA. Abnormal activity or expression of these enzymes has been implicated in various diseases, such as celiac disease, neurodegenerative disorders, and cancer.

"Triticum" is the genus name for a group of cereal grains that includes common wheat (T. aestivum), durum wheat (T. durum), and spelt (T. spelta). These grains are important sources of food for humans, providing carbohydrates, proteins, and various nutrients. They are used to make a variety of foods such as bread, pasta, and breakfast cereals. Triticum species are also known as "wheat" in layman's terms.

Immunoglobulin A (IgA) is a type of antibody that plays a crucial role in the immune function of the human body. It is primarily found in external secretions, such as saliva, tears, breast milk, and sweat, as well as in mucous membranes lining the respiratory and gastrointestinal tracts. IgA exists in two forms: a monomeric form found in serum and a polymeric form found in secretions.

The primary function of IgA is to provide immune protection at mucosal surfaces, which are exposed to various environmental antigens, such as bacteria, viruses, parasites, and allergens. By doing so, it helps prevent the entry and colonization of pathogens into the body, reducing the risk of infections and inflammation.

IgA functions by binding to antigens present on the surface of pathogens or allergens, forming immune complexes that can neutralize their activity. These complexes are then transported across the epithelial cells lining mucosal surfaces and released into the lumen, where they prevent the adherence and invasion of pathogens.

In summary, Immunoglobulin A (IgA) is a vital antibody that provides immune defense at mucosal surfaces by neutralizing and preventing the entry of harmful antigens into the body.

Prolamins are a type of protein found in various grains, such as wheat, rye, barley, and oats. They are rich in the amino acid proline and are soluble in alcohol but not water. Prolamins make up about 30-50% of the total protein content in these grains.

In wheat, the main prolamin is gliadin, which is responsible for triggering celiac disease, an autoimmune disorder that affects the small intestine. When people with celiac disease consume gluten (a protein found in wheat, rye, and barley), their immune system reacts to the gliadin component of gluten, causing damage to the lining of the small intestine. This can lead to various symptoms such as diarrhea, bloating, fatigue, and malnutrition.

Therefore, prolamins are important proteins to consider in the context of food intolerances and allergies, particularly for those with celiac disease or non-celiac gluten sensitivity.

I'm sorry for any confusion, but "flour" is not a medical term. It is a powder made by grinding raw grains, roots, beans, nuts, or seeds. The most common type is wheat flour, which is made from grinding wheat grains. Flour is a primary ingredient in many foods such as bread, pasta, and baked goods. I hope this clarifies any confusion! If you have any medical questions, I'd be happy to help.

Lactoglobulins, specifically referring to β-lactoglobulin, are a type of protein found in the whey fraction of milk from ruminant animals such as cows and sheep. They are one of the major proteins in bovine milk, making up about 10% of the total protein content.

β-lactoglobulin is a small, stable protein that is resistant to heat and acid denaturation. It has an important role in the nutrition of young mammals as it can bind to fat molecules and help with their absorption. In addition, β-lactoglobulin has been studied for its potential health benefits, including its antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties.

However, some people may have allergies to β-lactoglobulin, which can cause symptoms such as hives, swelling, and difficulty breathing. In these cases, it is important to avoid foods that contain this protein.

The intestinal mucosa is the innermost layer of the intestines, which comes into direct contact with digested food and microbes. It is a specialized epithelial tissue that plays crucial roles in nutrient absorption, barrier function, and immune defense. The intestinal mucosa is composed of several cell types, including absorptive enterocytes, mucus-secreting goblet cells, hormone-producing enteroendocrine cells, and immune cells such as lymphocytes and macrophages.

The surface of the intestinal mucosa is covered by a single layer of epithelial cells, which are joined together by tight junctions to form a protective barrier against harmful substances and microorganisms. This barrier also allows for the selective absorption of nutrients into the bloodstream. The intestinal mucosa also contains numerous lymphoid follicles, known as Peyer's patches, which are involved in immune surveillance and defense against pathogens.

In addition to its role in absorption and immunity, the intestinal mucosa is also capable of producing hormones that regulate digestion and metabolism. Dysfunction of the intestinal mucosa can lead to various gastrointestinal disorders, such as inflammatory bowel disease, celiac disease, and food allergies.

A gluten-free diet is a diet that excludes the consumption of gluten, a protein found in wheat, barley, and rye. This type of diet is often recommended for individuals with celiac disease, non-celiac gluten sensitivity, or wheat allergies. Adhering to a strict gluten-free diet can help manage symptoms, heal intestinal damage, and prevent further complications associated with these conditions.

The medical definition of 'Diet, Gluten-Free' includes:

1. Celiac Disease: An autoimmune disorder where the ingestion of gluten leads to damage in the small intestine. Following a gluten-free diet is crucial for individuals with celiac disease to prevent symptoms and associated health complications.
2. Non-Celiac Gluten Sensitivity (NCGS): A condition where individuals experience adverse reactions to gluten, but do not test positive for celiac disease or wheat allergy. A gluten-free diet can help alleviate symptoms in those with NCGS.
3. Wheat Allergy: An allergic reaction to proteins found in wheat, which may include gluten. Excluding gluten from the diet can help manage symptoms in individuals with wheat allergy.
4. Dermatitis Herpetiformis (DH): A skin manifestation of celiac disease characterized by an itchy, blistering rash. A gluten-free diet is often recommended to control DH symptoms and prevent intestinal damage.
5. Gluten Ataxia: A neurological disorder associated with celiac disease where gluten ingestion can cause issues with balance, coordination, and speech. A gluten-free diet may help improve these symptoms in individuals with gluten ataxia.

It is essential to consult a healthcare professional or a registered dietitian for guidance on following a gluten-free diet to ensure proper nutrition and to avoid cross-contamination from gluten sources.

Pancreatin is a mixture of digestive enzymes, including amylase, lipase, and proteases, naturally produced by the pancreas in humans and other mammals. These enzymes aid in the digestion of carbohydrates, fats, and proteins, respectively, in the small intestine. Pancreatin is often used as a replacement therapy for individuals with conditions like cystic fibrosis, chronic pancreatitis, or pancreatectomy, who have impaired pancreatic function and struggle to digest food properly. It can be obtained from animal pancreases, typically from pigs, and is available in various forms such as tablets, capsules, or powders for medical use.

I'm sorry for any confusion, but "Hemadsorption Inhibition Tests" is not a widely recognized or established medical term or concept in hematology or any other field of medicine. It seems that the term may be a combination of two concepts: hemadsorption and inhibition tests.

Hemadsorption refers to the adherence of red blood cells (RBCs) to endothelial cells, which can occur in various medical conditions such as viral infections. Inhibition tests are laboratory methods used to detect the presence or activity of an antibody, antigen, or enzyme by observing its ability to inhibit a specific reaction.

If you're looking for information on a specific experimental procedure or assay that involves hemadsorption and inhibition tests, I would need more context or details to provide an accurate definition or explanation.

HLA-DQ antigens are a type of human leukocyte antigen (HLA) that are found on the surface of cells in our body. They are a part of the major histocompatibility complex (MHC) class II molecules, which play a crucial role in the immune system by presenting pieces of proteins from outside the cell to CD4+ T cells, also known as helper T cells. This presentation process is essential for initiating an appropriate immune response against potentially harmful pathogens such as bacteria and viruses.

HLA-DQ antigens are encoded by genes located on chromosome 6p21.3 in the HLA region. Each individual inherits a pair of HLA-DQ genes, one from each parent, which can result in various combinations of HLA-DQ alleles. These genetic variations contribute to the diversity of immune responses among different individuals.

HLA-DQ antigens consist of two noncovalently associated polypeptide chains: an alpha (DQA) chain and a beta (DQB) chain. There are several isotypes of HLA-DQ antigens, including DQ1, DQ2, DQ3, DQ4, DQ5, DQ6, DQ7, DQ8, and DQ9, which are determined by the specific combination of DQA and DQB alleles.

Certain HLA-DQ genotypes have been associated with an increased risk of developing certain autoimmune diseases, such as celiac disease (DQ2 and DQ8), type 1 diabetes (DQ2, DQ8), and rheumatoid arthritis (DQ4). Understanding the role of HLA-DQ antigens in these conditions can provide valuable insights into disease pathogenesis and potential therapeutic targets.

An antigen is any substance that can stimulate an immune response, leading to the production of antibodies or activation of immune cells. In plants, antigens are typically found on the surface of plant cells and may be derived from various sources such as:

1. Pathogens: Plant pathogens like bacteria, viruses, fungi, and oomycetes have unique molecules on their surfaces that can serve as antigens for the plant's immune system. These antigens are recognized by plant pattern recognition receptors (PRRs) and trigger an immune response.
2. Endogenous proteins: Some plant proteins, when expressed in abnormal locations or quantities, can be recognized as foreign by the plant's immune system and elicit an immune response. These proteins may serve as antigens and are involved in self/non-self recognition.
3. Glycoproteins: Plant cell surface glycoproteins, which contain carbohydrate moieties, can also act as antigens. They play a role in plant-microbe interactions and may be recognized by both the plant's immune system and pathogens.
4. Allergens: Certain plant proteins can cause allergic reactions in humans and animals when ingested or inhaled. These proteins, known as allergens, can also serve as antigens for the human immune system, leading to the production of IgE antibodies and triggering an allergic response.
5. Transgenic proteins: In genetically modified plants, new proteins introduced through genetic engineering may be recognized as foreign by the plant's immune system or even by the human immune system in some cases. These transgenic proteins can serve as antigens and have been a subject of concern in relation to food safety and potential allergies.

Understanding plant antigens is crucial for developing effective strategies for plant disease management, vaccine development, and improving food safety and allergy prevention.

Anaphylaxis is a severe, life-threatening systemic allergic reaction that occurs suddenly after exposure to an allergen (a substance that triggers an allergic reaction) to which the person has previously been sensitized. The symptoms of anaphylaxis include rapid onset of symptoms such as itching, hives, swelling of the throat and tongue, difficulty breathing, wheezing, cough, chest tightness, rapid heartbeat, hypotension (low blood pressure), shock, and in severe cases, loss of consciousness and death. Anaphylaxis is a medical emergency that requires immediate treatment with epinephrine (adrenaline) and other supportive measures to stabilize the patient's condition.

Enterocytes are the absorptive cells that line the villi of the small intestine. They are a type of epithelial cell and play a crucial role in the absorption of nutrients from food into the bloodstream. Enterocytes have finger-like projections called microvilli on their apical surface, which increases their surface area and enhances their ability to absorb nutrients. They also contain enzymes that help digest and break down carbohydrates, proteins, and fats into smaller molecules that can be absorbed. Additionally, enterocytes play a role in the absorption of ions, water, and vitamins.

The jejunum is the middle section of the small intestine, located between the duodenum and the ileum. It is responsible for the majority of nutrient absorption that occurs in the small intestine, particularly carbohydrates, proteins, and some fats. The jejunum is characterized by its smooth muscle structure, which allows it to contract and mix food with digestive enzymes and absorb nutrients through its extensive network of finger-like projections called villi.

The jejunum is also lined with microvilli, which further increase the surface area available for absorption. Additionally, the jejunum contains numerous lymphatic vessels called lacteals, which help to absorb fats and fat-soluble vitamins into the bloodstream. Overall, the jejunum plays a critical role in the digestion and absorption of nutrients from food.

  • The immunoreactivity of gliadin was highly reduced, 60%, of flour treated with only UV, while the reduction was not obvious for flour treated with infrared light along with UV light and for flatbread samples. (ijfsab.com)
  • Further, deamidation of gliadin results in enhanced binding of gliadin antibodies. (clevelandheartlab.com)
  • SDS-PAGE results showed that there was a clear reduction of the gliadin bands of flour treated with UV light compared to other treatments. (ijfsab.com)
  • Pulsed light (PL) was investigated for reducing the immunoreactivity of gliadin of wheat flour, however, the obstacle with using PL light was that the food temperature was highly increased with a short treatment time. (ijfsab.com)
