Graphical Abstract

Amylase Trypsin Inhibitors (ATI) can be found in all gluten containing grains and are capable to mediate innate immunity by direct TLR4 stimulation. As protein nitration can occur during inflammatory processes in the body and under environmental conditions, ATI were nitrated and tested in vitro. The nitrated ATI induced increased innate and adaptive immune reactions.
