Intraepithelial lymphocytes subsets in different forms of celiac disease

Aim The enumeration of intraepithelial lymphocytes subsets (total, γδ, and CD3– IELs) by flow cytometry (FCM), named as IEL lymphogram, constitutes a useful tool for celiac disease (CD) diagnosis. The aim of this study was to quantify IELs by FCM and their diagnostic value to differentiate active, silent and potential CD.
