Gliadin (Deamidated) Antibody (IgG, IgA)
Also known as: Antigliadin Ab (IgA, IgG), Deamidated Gliadin (IgA, IgG), Anti-Gliadin Ab (IgA
Use
Detection of antibodies to gliadin, one of the major protein components of gluten, is a sensitive assay useful in diagnosing celiac disease. However, gliadin antibodies may be found in individuals without celiac disease; thus gliadin antibody assays are less specific than assays measuring antibodies to endomysium and transglutaminase. Deamidation of gliadin enhances antibody binding, improving diagnostic accuracy compared to standard gliadin antibody assays.

Not provided.
Limitations
Gliadin antibodies may be found in individuals without celiac disease, reducing specificity compared to assays measuring antibodies to endomysium and transglutaminase. Deamidated gliadin peptide assays have improved accuracy but may still require clinical correlation.
