I'm a graduand at Durham University, having studied molecular biology and 
biochemistry, and who could be coeliac (tests are being done at the 
moment).  The library at Durham is absolutely abysmal, so I've been able 
to find almost zilch about this disease, yet naturally, I'm very 
interested to find out more, and soon.  I know that coeliac disease is 
connected with class II MHC, and to autodestruction of the ileum lining, 
and that this is triggered off by A-gliadin.  If anyone can point me to a 
review article, or anything helpful in the journals, or even tell me 
something useful by email, I'd be eternally grateful (well, pretty 
grateful, anyway).

	Thanks alot in advance, Tim.
