DISCOVERY OFFERS HOPE FOR CELIAC SUFFERERS
Canwest News Service Published: Wednesday, January 07, 2009
A researcher at the University of Alberta has found a cost-effective way to produce antibodies against gluten, potentially opening up a whole new world for people with celiac disease. Celiacs cannot tolerate gluten -- a protein found in wheat, barley and rye -- and currently there is no cure. Hoon Sunwoo, a research associate in the faculty of pharmacy and pharmaceutical sciences, has produced antibodies in chicken eggs that will allow celiacs to eat bread and other foods containing gluten. It will head to human clinical trials this fall, provided it passes animal safety studies. Gluten helps bread and other baked goods bind and prevents crumbling, and is used in many processed and packaged foods. It is estimated that one in 133 Canadians is affected by celiac disease.
