    Coeliac disease patients show normal neutrophil function, including bactericidal ability and serum opsonic capacity, regardless of gluten-free diet adherence. This suggests immune responses remain largely unaffected in coeliac individuals compared to healthy controls.

    Area of Science:

    • Immunology
    • Gastroenterology
    • Cellular Biology

    Background:

    • Coeliac disease is an autoimmune disorder triggered by gluten ingestion.
    • Neutrophils play a crucial role in innate immunity and pathogen clearance.
    • Altered immune function has been suggested in coeliac disease.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To investigate neutrophil function in coeliac disease patients.
    • To compare immune responses between treated and untreated coeliac patients and healthy controls.

    Main Methods:

    • Examined neutrophil function in 23 coeliac patients (13 untreated, 10 treated).
    • Assessed bactericidal ability of polymorphonuclear leukocytes.
    • Evaluated serum opsonic capacity.
    • Compared results with a control group of healthy volunteers.

    Main Results:

    • No significant differences in bactericidal ability were found between coeliac patients and controls.
    • No significant differences in serum opsonic capacity were observed between coeliac patients and controls.
    • Neutrophil function remained comparable across untreated coeliac, treated coeliac, and healthy individuals.

    Conclusions:

    • Neutrophil bactericidal capacity and serum opsonic function are not significantly impaired in coeliac disease.
    • Gluten-free diet adherence does not appear to alter these specific neutrophil functions.
    • Coeliac disease may not broadly impact innate immune cell functions like neutrophil activity.
