[Diagnosis of celiac disease]W Holtmeier
Medizinische Klinik I, Abt für Gastroenterologie, Johann Wolfgang Goethe Universitat, Frankfurt am Main
Z Gastroenterol 43:1243-52. 2005..Since celiac disease implies a lifelong gluten-free diet, a firm diagnosis should be obtained. Thus, one should not rely on a single test but should rather consider serology, histology and clinical response altogether...

Prenatal development of the porcine TCR delta repertoire: dominant expression of an invariant T cell receptor Vdelta3-Jdelta3 chainWolfgang Holtmeier
Medizinische Klinik II, Division of Gastroenterology, Johann Wolfgang Goethe Universitat, Frankfurt am Main, Germany
Eur J Immunol 34:1941-9. 2004..We speculate that these gamma/delta T cells might have been selectively expanded by (self)-ligands and may have an important function throughout fetal development...

Medizinische Klinik II, Division of Gastroenterology, Johann Wolfgang Goethe Universitat, 60590 Frankfurt am Main, Germany
Crit Rev Immunol 23:473-88. 2003..This review focuses on the distribution and repertoire of mucosal gamma/delta T cells and discusses what is currently known about the functions of these cells. Furthermore, their potential role in inflammatory bowel disease is examined...

Development and compartmentalization of the porcine TCR delta repertoire at mucosal and extraintestinal sites: the pig as a model for analyzing the effects of age and microbial factorsWolfgang Holtmeier
Medizinische Klinik II, Division of Gastroenterology, Johann Wolfgang Goethe Universitat, Frankfurt am Main, Germany
J Immunol 169:1993-2002. 2002..Furthermore, these data support the hypothesis that in each mucosal site, different Ags are responsible for selecting and maintaining the gammadelta TCR over time...
T cell receptor delta repertoire in inflamed and noninflamed colon of patients with IBD analyzed by CDR3 spectratypingWolfgang Holtmeier
Medizinische Klinik II, Division of Gastroenterology, Johann Wolfgang Goethe Universitat, 60590 Frankfurt am Main, Germany
Am J Physiol Gastrointest Liver Physiol 282:G1024-34. 2002..In conclusion, those changes indicate that gamma/delta T cells might play an important role in a subset of patients with IBD...
