Gluten and casein digests were tested for their ability to induce a cellular immune response on peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBM) obtained from coeliac patients as well as healthy volunteers and disease control patients using the macrophage procoagulant assay. PBM from coeliac patients who had been on a gluten-free diet for less than 2 years responded strongly to gluten peptides, while coeliac patients at diagnosis or who had maintained a strict gluten-free diet for longer than 5 years showed weaker responses. PBM from healthy volunteers did not respond to gluten or casein peptides, whereas those from patients with Crohn's disease displayed weak reactivity to gluten and casein peptides. Our study using the macrophage procoagulant assay confirms previous findings that lymphoid cells from patients with coeliac disease exhibit a specific cellular immune response to gluten. This assay represents an alternative measure for cell-mediated immunity and is technically much simpler than the previously described leucocyte migration inhibition assay. Macrophage procoagulant activity is measured using a simple plasma recalcification time assay or spectrophotometrically using commercially available chromogenic substrates.
