WHAT HAPPENS IN THE INTESTINAL MUCOSA? The development of anti-gluten T-cell response in the intestine is specific to people with celiac disease (CD). The immune response to gluten takes place in two compartments, the lamina propria (CD4+) and the epithelium (CD8+). Tissue transglutaminase acts on selected glutamines within the glutamine/proline rich gluten peptides.
B2 A2 B3 B1 A1 B1 B2 B3 B9 A DQ DR chromosomal location: 6p21.3 HLA AND CELIAC DISEASE Specific alleles at HLA-DQA1 and DQB1 loci appear to be necessary, although not sufficient, for the phenotypic expression of the disease. HLA-DQA1 and DQB1 alleles encode the α and β chains, respectively, of the heterodimer which presents gluten peptides and triggers the immume response. Gluten APC
General population DQ2 (HLA-DQA1*05/*0201 - DQB1*02) is present in 90-95% of CD patients. Among them individuals homozygous for HLA-DQB1*02 have the highest risk for CD. DQ8 (HLA-DQA1*03 - DQB1*0302) is present in the remaining 5-10% of CD patients. CD CD DQ2 DQ8 DQA1*05 or DQA1*03 DQA1*0201 DQB1*0302 DQB1*02 Trans Cis/Trans Cis

AIMS To develop a real-time PCR method to detect celiac disease associated HLA-DQA1 and HLA-DQB1 alleles To implement this new assay using a laboratory friendly platform with components stable at room temperature (STAT-NAT DNA Mix - Sentinel, CH)
ROOM TEMPERATURE STORAGE STAT-NAT is freeze-dried and guarantees long term storage at room temperature. EASY STAT-NAT contains all the reaction components. The enzyme (Hot Start Polymerase) is already included. PERFORMANCE IMPROVEMENT STAT-NAT is a ready-to-use product to minimized analytical variables UNIVERSAL STAT-NAT technology yields very good performances in all the most diffused molecular biology techniques FEATURES AND BENEFITS STAT-NAT DNA MIX

HLA-DQA1 46 alleles HLA-DQB1 158 alleles ASSAY DESIGN Specific sequence of primers and taqman (hydrolysis) MGB probes for DQA1*0201, DQA1*03, DQA1*05, DQB1*02 and DQB1*0302 were designed using sequence information from the IMGT/HLA database (http://www.ebi.ac.uk/imgt/hla/align.html). To determine the homozygous state for DQB1*02, specific sequence primers and taqman MGB probes which covered the majority of HLA-DQB1 alleles other than DQ2, were used.
METHODS 1 Sample collection Sample extraction Amplification STAT- NAT DNA Mix (Sentinel CH) collection in EDTA tube MagNa Pure System (Roche) ABI Prism 7900HT (Applied Biosystem)
METHODS 2 ADD 80-100 ng DNA SIX SPECIFIC MIX (specific primers and probes) for: ADD 1) DQA1*0201 2) DQA1*03 3) DQA1*05 4) DQB1*02 5) DQB1*0302 6) Homozygous for DQB1*02 1 2 3 4 6 5 LYOPHILIZED PCR AMPLIFICATION COCKTAIL which includes a hot start polymerase, buffers and dNTPs All mixes included an internal amplification control.

CONCLUSIONS 1 Our new real-time PCR method to detect celiac disease associated HLA-DQA1 and HLA-DQB1 alleles was shown to be: • specific and reproducible • in agreement with the reference method for all analyzed DNA • in agreement for all UK NEQAS samples By using a close tube system, this method reduces the risk of cross contamination
CONCLUSIONS 2 STAT-NAT DNA Mix using lyophilized and ready to use reagents reduces analytical variations and allows rapid preparation of the amplification mix STAT-NAT DNA Mix allows to develop a laboratory friendly high throughput platform
