a. The percentage of small-bowel mucosal transglutaminase 2 (TG2) -specific plasma cells out of all lamina propria plasma cells in the different patient groups. b. Immunofluorescence staining for transglutaminase 2 (TG2) antibodies and plasma cells in small-bowel mucosal sections. Representative picture of a coeliac disease patient prior to villous atrophy showing positive staining for TG2-specific plasma cells (arrows). Recombinant TG2 (red), plasma cell marker CD138 (green), and their colocalisation (yellow) at 20x magnification. Scale bar = 100 μm. Abbreviations: CD, coeliac disease; GFD, gluten-free diet
