Abstract (en)

[origin: WO9710508A1] A method for diagnosing coeliac disease and related conditions in a subject known or suspected of having such a condition comprises contacting a body fluid from the subject containing antibody particular to the condition with a suspension of cells from an immortal cell line having an epitopic site specific for the antibody and then determining the extent of binding of antibody to the cells. Human umbilical cells have been found to be particularly suitable for use in the method. The use of a cell line means that substantial amounts of material for the antibody estimation can be prepared by culturing the cells and storing them for future use at a very low cost.
