gliadin-specific T cells would drive the production of tTG-specific antibodies (17). It should
be kept in mind, however, that the gliadin and tTG-specific antibodies themselves are not
responsible for the disease symptoms, since these disappear rapidly upon withdrawal of
gluten from the diet, whereas the antibodies persist much longer.
