Frequency of Gluten-Reactive T Cells in Active Celiac Lesions Estimated by Direct Cell Cloning
Chronic inflammation of the small intestine in celiac disease is driven by activation of CD4+ T cells that recognize gluten peptides presented by disease-associated HLA-DQ molecules. We have performed direct cell cloning of duodenal biopsies from five untreated and one refractory celiac disease pati...
