Gliadin Detection Methods • Immunochemical ELISA Lateral Flow Device Immunoblotting • PCR • MS MALDI-TOF LC/MS/MS
Sandwich ELISA Signal DetectorAntibody Capture Antibody 22
Gliadin Antibodies Specificity • Skerritt mAb – -gliadin (-gliadin) – wheat – 100% rye – 120% barley – 5% • Mendez R5 mAb – QXPFP toxic epitopes of ,,, -gliadins – Equally to wheat, rye and barley • Both Ab recognize raw and cooked prolamins
Commercial Gliadin ELISA Kits * ppm gliadin ppm gluten = ppm gliadin x 2 Converted to ppm from g/mL
Gliadin ELISA 0 5 10 20 50 ppm gliadin controls
Lateral Flow Device (Dipstick) • Positive can mean less than LOD
Issues with Gluten Test Kits • Ab has different specificities to different prolamins, e.g. Skerritt Ab • Various results from different extraction media: 40-60% EtOH, cocktails • Different standards used from different kits • False positives and negatives require a confirmatory test • Limited availability of confirmatory test to most food lab • No sampling plan
Extraction Media • Aq. Alcohol (40-60% EtOH) • Cocktail (reducing agent + others) - interaction of Ab and Ag
Matrix Effect • Cocktail (reducing agent + others) - interference with complex food matrices, e.g. milk - interaction of Ab and Ag • Samples with high polyphenols, tannins and syrups require fish gelatin to improve recovery

Reference Materials • IRMM-480 Wheat Gliadin • NIST SRM 1567a Wheat Flour RM 8418 Wheat Gluten RM 8436, 8437, 8438, 8441a • Others
Confirmation Methods • Ab-Western blot • PCR – qualitative, quantitative • MS – MALDI-TOF, LC/MS/MS
