Jason Tye-Din, MBBS, PhD, FRACP, and researchers at the Walter and Eliza Hall Institute of Medical Research in Melbourne, Australia, have developed a cytokine release test for celiac disease diagnosis, according to a Gastroenterology Update report.

The test is designed to measure T cell response to gluten after three days of consumption, rather than prolonged exposure.

The test was able to detect a T cell response in the majority of 48 study participants with diagnosed cases of celiac disease.

Dr. Tye-Din is the head of celiac research at the Walter and Eliza Hall Institute.
