Abstract

Peptic-tryptic digests of alcohol-soluble proteins from flours of 10 accessions of Trificum monococcum with contrasting storage protein compositions and bread-making characteristics were found unable to agglutinate K562(S) cells even at a peptide concentration as high as 14 g/L, agglutination being strongly correlated with toxicity in celiac disease. When fractionated by affinity chromatography on Sepharose-6B coupled with mannan, peptic-tryptic digests separated into three fractions. Fraction C peptides were shown to agglutinate K562(S) cells, whereas peptides in fractions A and B and in the mixed fraction B + C were inactive, suggesting that fraction B contains "protective" peptides that interfere with toxic peptides in fraction C in their agglutinating activity. These results offer an opportunity to study the biochemical and genetic bases of wheat toxicity at the diploid level. Moreover, the reduced toxicity, if any, of Triticum monococcum in the celiac disease, along with the good grain characteristics of some "monococcum" accessions, greatly increases the economical prospects of this wheat species.

Adhesion Molecules in Health and Disease

Cell adhesion molecules are a subset of cell adhesion proteins located on the cell surface involved in binding with other cells or with the extracellular matrix in the process called cell adhesion. In essence, cell adhesion molecules help cells stick to each other and to their surroundings. Cell adhesion is a crucial component in maintaining tissue structure and function.

Antibodies: Agglutination

Antibody-mediated agglutination is the clumping of cells in the presence of antibody, which binds multiple cells together. This enhances the clearance of pathogens. Find the latest research on antibody-mediated agglutination here.
