Expand immunological investigations of wheat intolerance to non-celiac peptides.
Biomarkers discovery for complex diseases that display an abnormal response to wheat.
Standardize the evaluation of immune responses between celiac disease, wheat allergy, and non-celiac gluten sensitivity to simplify research efforts while expanding the knowledge gained.
Detecting patterns of cross-reactive autoantibodies in other disorders.
Provide valuable disease-related information to assist healthcare workers in drafting personalized medicine treatment plans.
High throughput analysis of immune reactivity towards gluten and non-gluten wheat proteins.
Advantages
Compact, low-cost, high-throughput assay
Potential to standardize research efforts across multiple institutions
Microarray design allows for flexibility to include different varieties of wheat, controls, or specific peptides to stay up-to-date with on-going research
