Proliferation of unfractionated PBMCs with α-gliadin peptides. (a) Representative data from three newly diagnosed Celiac subjects with 7-day CFSE proliferation assays. CD4 T cells proliferate in response to the α-gliadin p1E deamidated peptide without the in vitro addition of cytokines. (b) Summary data of proliferative responses comparing CFSE only (no antigen background) to the α-gliadin p1E peptide. (c) Proliferation of native α-gliadin to the α-gliadin p1E deamidated peptide. *P < 0.01 using a paired t-test. Pentacel (positive control) is a childhood vaccine containing immunogens directed against diphtheria, tetanus, pertussis, poliomyelitis, and Haemophilus influenzae type b.
