Currently Favored Analytical Method for Gluten in Food
R-5 monoclonal antibody ELISA test is available commercially.
Detection down to about 1.5 parts per million; quantification above 2.5 parts per million has been reported.
Antibody reacts with monomeric wheat, rye, and barley prolamins, butnot oat avenins; reacts weakly or not at all with glutelins (glutenin).
The Codex Alimentarius Committee on Methods agreed in 2004 to endorse temporarily the R5 ELISA for the determination of gluten.
Possible problems: failure to detect glutelin (glutenin) proteins andsmall peptides from hydrolysates.
Recognizes QQPFP and LQPFP motifs most strongly.
