%X Wheat sensitization is more common than wheat allergy and as a result the specificity
of the IgE antibody (IgE-ab) wheat test is poor. More specific tests, that correctly
identify wheat allergic individuals, are needed. Allergens extracted from the gluten
fraction of wheat, especially ¦Ø5-gliadin, have proven useful in several recent studies.
In this study we have evaluated the diagnostic performance of three different types
of gliadins in a group of wheat allergic children.
