CA 2475055

The invention describes the patterns of deamidation in gluten, and it is found that this is highly dependent on the spacing between the glutamine and proline residues. This knowledge can be used to predict novel T cell stimulatory gluten peptides. Several newly defined peptides and epitopes are provided. Also, the finding can explain the formation of neo-epitopes in autoimmune diseases such as RA (rheumatoid arthritis), MS (multiple sclerosis), SLE (systemic lupus erythomatosus), SS (Sjogren syndrome) and DB (diabetes). Several neo-epitopes and the peptides that are substrate for deamidation are provided. Further, the inventions provides for methods for detecting these peptides and epitopes and methods for making food more suitable for celiac disease patients.

Cette invention concerne les schémas de déamidation dans le gluten, déamidation dont il est apparu qu'elle dépendait dans une très large mesure de l'écart entre les résidus de glutamine et de proline. Cette constatation peut servir à prédire l'existence de nouveaux peptides de gluten qui stimulent les lymphocites T . L'invention concerne plusieurs peptides et épitopes nouvellement déterminés. Par ailleurs, cette découverte peut explique la formation de néo-épitopes dans des maladies auto-immunes telles que la polyarthrite rhumatoïde, la sclérose en plaques, le lupus érythémateux disséminé, le syndrome de Sjögren et le diabète. L'invention concerne plusieurs néo-épitopes et les peptides servant de substrat pour la déamidation. L'invention concerne également des méthodes de détection de ces peptides et épitopes ainsi que des méthodes de fabrication d'aliments convenant mieux à des patients atteints de maladie caéliaque.
