This happens about 2-3% of the time in people with celiac disease and can lead to false-negative test results. Common tests for celiac disease include: 1  Anti-tissue transglutaminase antibody (anti-tTG), IgA: detects antibodies to tissue transglutaminase, an enzyme that causes the crosslinking of certain proteins. 2  Anti-tTG, IgA is the most sensitive and specific blood test for celiac disease.
A contour line is a line drawn on a topographic map to indicate ground elevation or depression. A contour interval is the vertical distance or difference in elevation between contour lines. Index contours are bold or thicker lines that appear at every fifth contour line.
More generally, a contour line for a function of two variables is a curve connecting points where the function has the same particular value. The gradient of the function is always perpendicular to the contour lines. When the lines are close together the magnitude of the gradient is large: the variation is steep. A level set is a generalization of a contour line for functions of any number of variables.
