Abstract

Microbially derived peptides that mimic immunogenic gliadin peptides in celiac disease have been identified using a structure- and sequence-guided search. T cell activation assays and crystal structures reveal that a protein from the commensal bacterium Pseudomonas fluorescens can be processed and presented by antigen-presenting cells to potently activate T cells from patients with celiac disease.
