| Abstract | Coeliac disease (CD) is an enteropathy induced in genetically susceptible individuals by gluten components, gliadin, hordein and secalin, polypeptides present in cereals such as wheat, barley and rye, respectively. Although the disease starts as intolerance to gliadins, antibodies to tissue transglutaminase (tTG) in the gut epithelium are characteristic of the disease. Whereas serum autoantibodies against tTG (tTGA) are highly specific for CD, antibodies to gliadin are less informative as they can also be detected in other enteropathies, and even in healthy individuals. However, it was shown recently that antibodies to certain gliadin peptides occur with high specificity in CD patient sera. We developed a solid phase lanthanide-based immunofluorometric assay for simultaneous detection of serum IgA and IgG antibodies to a synthetic peptide derived from gamma gliadin of wheat comprising amino acids 86-103. Three glutamine residues of this native 18-mer peptide were replaced by glutamic acids and the peptide was biotinylated. Sera from 87 individuals who had undergone duodenal biopsy and were diagnosed with CD and from 81 healthy individuals were analysed for the presence of both IgA and IgG anti-gliadin peptide antibodies. The performance of the peptide AGA assay was excellent, showing a specificity and sensitivity of 90% and 92% for IgA, and 98% and 75% for IgG, respectively. The corresponding values for conventional anti-gliadin antibody (AGA) enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) tests were 72% specificity and 87% sensitivity for IgA, and 64% specificity and 78% sensitivity for IgG. In a prospective study, almost all the tTGA-positive sera drawn from children who later developed CD were also positive for gliadin peptide antibodies. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.

NDLI is a conglomeration of freely available or institutionally contributed or donated or publisher managed contents. Almost all these contents are hosted and accessed from respective sources. The responsibility for authenticity, relevance, completeness, accuracy, reliability and suitability of these contents rests with the respective organization and NDLI has no responsibility or liability for these. Every effort is made to keep the NDLI portal up and running smoothly unless there are some unavoidable technical issues.
Ministry of Education, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT), has sponsored and funded the National Digital Library of India (NDLI) project.
