Popis: Increasing efforts are being put into new treatment options for coeliac disease (CeD), a chronic disorder of the small intestine induced by gluten. Interleukin-2 (IL-2) and gluten-specific CD4 + T cells increase in the blood after four hours and six days, respectively, following a gluten challenge in CeD patients. These responses are unique to CeD and are not seen in controls. We aimed to evaluate different markers reflecting a recall response to gluten exposure that may be used to monitor therapy.CeD patients on a gluten-free diet underwent a one- (The frequency of gut-homing, tetramer-binding, CD4 + effector memory T (tetramer + β7 + TThe optimal time points for monitoring therapy response in CeD after a three-day oral gluten challenge is four hours for plasma IL-2 or six to eight days for the frequency of tetramer + β7 + T
