Abstract

Genetically modified (GM) pepper H15 containing the gene for cucumber mosaic virus (CMV) coat protein (CP) and its control line non-GM pepper P2377 were investigated for their allergic risk. Amino acid sequence of the inserted gene product CMV-CP was compared with those of known allergens. No known allergen had greater than 35% amino acid sequence homology over an 80 amino acid window or more than 8 consecutive identical amino acids. Protein patterns of GM and non-GM pepper extracts were evaluated by SDS-PAGE, which showed similar distribution of protein bands for both GM and non-GM pepper. Antigen-antibody reactions were compared between GM and its non-transgenic parental control. ELISA and immunoblot analysis of sera from allergic patients showed some IgE reactivity; however, no differences were observed between GM pepper H15 and P2377. We therefore conclude that CMV-CP is less likely to be an allergen; the protein composition and allergenicity of the GM pepper H15 is not different from that of P2377 and safe as a commercial host.

CMV 바이러스 저항성 H15 고추 도입유전자의 발현산물인 CMV-CP 단백질의 80개씩의 아미노산 비교에서 35% 보다 큰 상동성을 갖거나 8개 이상의 일련된 아미노산 염기 서열이 일치하는 알레르겐은 존재하지 않는 것이 확인되었으며, 따라서 CMV-CP 단백질 서열은 기지의 알레르겐과 구조적 및 면역학적으로 연관된 유사성이 없음을 확인하였다. 형질전환에 따른 특성 변화를 비교하기 위해 서로 다른 지역에서 재배된 CMV 바이러스 저항성 H15 고추 및 그 모본의 발현 단백질 항원 농도와 그 분포를 비교한 결과 발현된 단백질의 양상과 양은 재배 연도 및 환경적 영향에 따른 차이가 발견되었지만, 동일한 연도에 같은 장소에서 재배된 유전자변형 고추와 그 모본 사이에서의 차이는 발견되지 않아 형질전환으로 인한 특성변화는 없는 것으로 확인 되었다. 환자 혈청을 이용해 immunoblotting법과 ELISA법으로 확인한 항원-항체 반응성 비교에서도 CMV 바이러스 저항성 H15 고추와 그 모본 P2377사이에 차이가 없는 것이 확인되었다. 이러한 결과를 종합할 때, 유전자변형 고추 H15는 그 모본과 비교하여 형질전환으로 인한 알레르기성의 변화는 없는 것으로 판단된다.
