Factor XIII and tissue transglutaminase antibodies in coeliac and inflammatory bowel disease.

abstract：:On different tissue sections, binding of gliadin to reticular matrix components was observed which was Ca2+-dependent, inhibited by Cu2+ and Zn2+ ions, by putrescine, and by preincubation with antibodies against tissue transglutaminase (tTG) suggesting that binding of gliadin is mediated by tTG. tTG was able to bind t...
