Introduction: The ω-glaidin/c-hordein (QPFPQPEQPFPW) and rye-secalin (QPFPQPQQPIPQ) peptides have previously demonstrated immunogenicity in sensitised coeliac T cell lines. The development of monoclonal antibody to those immunogenic peptides is presented with a view of developing an improved enzyme linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) as a reliable tool to screen the safety of foods specialised for coeliac disease (CD) patients. Methods: Balb/C mice were fed with gluten free food. The immunogens were conjugated to purified tuberculin protein derivative (PPD) with glutaraldehyde and emulsified in Freund’s adjuvant. The employed immunization schedule included 3-5 weeks intervals, followed by a final intravenous injection without adjuvant, 3-4 days prior to fusion. Results: The antibody produced was IgM rather than IgG, although the hybridoma was successfully generated. The IgM class antibody is known to be relatively unstable, so could not be used in kits designed for food screening. Conclusions: The immunogenic peptides could possibly be used to raise monoclonal antibodies for gluten screening. However, a single booster injection might be insufficient to stimulate the spleen directly or the mice should be immunized with higher concentration of immunogen. This could be improved by including multiple booster administrations and increasing the dose.

Cell surface glycoconjugates are considered to play important roles in cell-cell interactions in the developing central nervous system. We have previously described a group of monoclonal antibodies that recognize defined carbohydrate epitopes and reveal unique temporal and spatial patterns of immunoreactivity in the developing main and accessory olfactory systems in rats. Antibody CC2 reacts with complex α-galactosyl and α-fucosyl glycoproteins and glycolipids. Antibody CC1 reacts with terminal N-acetyl galactosamine residues of globoside-like glycolipids. Antibody 1B2 reacts with β-galactosyl glycolipids and glycoproteins. Our light microscopic data suggest that these antigens may be located on the surfaces of axons of the vomeronasal and olfactory nerves as well as on some of their target neurons in the main and accessory olfactory bulbs.
