Description: Anti-endomysial antibodies of the immunoglobulin A (IgA) type can detect celiac disease with a sensitivity and specificity of 90% and 99%, respectively.

However, it is now thought to have similar characteristics to anti-endomysial antibody. Modern anti-TTG assays rely on a human recombinant protein as an antigen. TTG testing should be done first as it is an easier test to perform
