Abstract
New assays for antibodies to deamidated gliadin peptides (DGP) expressing celiac disease-specific epitopes were evaluated using 154 sera previously tested for endomysial immunoglobulin A (IgA) (EMA), transglutaminase IgA (TGA), and conventional gliadin antibodies. DGP antibody results showed 97% concordance with EMA and TGA results. Of 56 sera negative for EMA and TGA but positive for conventional gliadin antibodies, 54 (96%) were negative for DGP antibodies.Entities:
