Description:
The Immuno Gliadin test is an anti-gliadin antibody assay to detect gluten sensitivity. Gliadin is the protein component of gluten. The anti-gliadin antibody assay is an effective screening test for gliadin and is a good method for monitoring patients' adherence to a gluten-free diet.


Over 100 chronic conditions—such as celiac disease—have been associated with increased levels of anti-gliadin antibodies. Since the 1970s, gluten-free diets have been reliable treatments for celiac patients. Recent research has shown the detection of anti-gliadin IgG and IgA to be an indicator of gliadin involvement in the medical condition. The Anti-Gliadin Antibody Assay detects both IgG and IgA to gliadin by the ELISA method. Since the Anti-Gliadin Antibody Assay is a screening test, it must be followed by the complementary test, the Tissue Transglutaminase Assay, (tTG) in those patients who test positive in the AGA.
