From: Reincarnated on 31 Jul 2005 20:09 Research has been carried out in both England (Manchester Uni from memory) and Australia (Royal Melbourne Hospital) into cloeiac desease. The aim of the research (which i believe is now nearing completion of the rye/gluten study stage) is to develop a 'vaccine' for coeliacs which they want to design to be delivered via a nasal spray, not by tablet. The trial in Melbourne has been utilising volunteers who have been willing to undergo a gluten challenge (i.e. consume products containing gluten over a set period of time) and then taking rather large blood sample in order to harvest the white blood cells which would be generated by a coeliac who undergoes a gluten reaction. 18 months ago the team was concentrating on wheat-gluten, late last year and early this year it was concentrating on rye-gluten and I believe wil then move on to barley-gluten. Mid way through last year the team anticipated that a spray vaccine would or should be ready to enter into clinical trials in about 5 years time (thats about 4 years from now). I haven't seen anything or heard from the team for about 8 months so not sure where they are currently up to in the trials. John.
