Deamidated Gliadin Peptide Test on EliA

This week, the first fully automated gliadin tests with deamdiated gliadin peptides have been introduced to the market:

EliA Gliadin DP IgA and EliA Gliadin DP IgA

In celiac disease, patients develop antibodies against gluten which are storage proteins in wheat, rye and barley. The antibodies in celiac disease are directed against gliadin, the alcohol-soluble fraction of gluten. Recent research showed that deamidated gliadin peptides represent more specific targets for the antibodies to gliadin. The EliA Gliadin DP tests use the relevant synthetic deamidated gliadin peptides according to literature which gives them an excellent specificity.
