n-Gliadin is a natural non-recombinant mixture of alpha-, beta-, gamma-, and omega-gliadins, purified to 99%. Omega-5-gliadin (Tri a19) is the main allergenic component causing allergic reactions, particularly in WDEIA (wheat-dependent exercise-induced anaphylaxis). The test helps detect sensitization to wheat gliadins, which are part of gluten.
Gliadins are components of gluten, divided into alpha-, beta-, gamma-, and omega-gliadins. Omega-5-gliadin is the main allergenic component in patients with WDEIA and severe wheat allergy. Detecting IgE to omega-5-gliadin helps diagnose and manage allergic reactions related to wheat and select effective therapy. The test is also important for identifying cross-reactivity with rye and barley protein allergens, which is significant for implementing a gluten-free diet.
