Abstract

A panel of monoclonal antibodies has been raised against a total gliadin fraction prepared from the hard bread wheat cultivar Avalon. The antibodies have been characterized by enzyme-linked immunosorhent assay and immunoblotting techniques for their interactions with a range of cereal prolamins, purified gliadins and short synthetic peptides. The antibodies showed broad, intermediate and narrow specificities. The immunological approach offers the protein chemist an additional means of studying the structures and interrelationships of cereal proteins.
