Quantitation of the immunodominant 33-mer peptide from α-gliadin in wheat flours

In wheat there are multiple fractions able to activate the adverse response of the human immune system. Among these fractions the most active is that called 33-mer because it is the most resistant to human digestion and because it contains six copies of the three toxic epitopes and its intermolecular bonds are very strong. It … Continue reading Quantitation of the immunodominant 33-mer peptide from α-gliadin in wheat flours
