Abstract
Celiac disease is an autoimmune response to gluten proteins. While causes for celiac disease have been identified, there is no effective treatment other than diet control. In vitro models for celiac disease are important for quickly gaining understanding of the disease mechanism and testing potential treatments. Here we describe an ex vivo stimulation of intestinal epithelial cells with gliadin peptides as a method to induce celiac disease features in vitro.
