- Slide 1
- Genetically Modified Soybeans: Equal Allergenicity as their Wild Type Counterparts? Katie Van Den Einde November 24, 2009 Advisor: Dr. Chastain
- Slide 2
- Overview Introduction: GM foods, allergies, controversy Paper 1 Paper 2 Paper 3 Paper 4 Current regulations Conclusions
- Slide 3
- Importance GM foods: Soybeans Corn Tomatoes Rice Canola Potatoes Sugar beets Sugar cane
- Slide 4
- Modifications Herbicide resistance Insect resistance Disease resistance Addition of proteins/vitamins 2003 84% of US soybean acreage was glyphosate tolerant (Roundup ready)
- Slide 5
- Basics of Genetic Modification Procedures 1. Plasmid insertion 2. Gene guns 3. Protoplasts
- Slide 6
- Allergies Majority of allergic reactions are immunoglobulin E (IgE) mediated. IgE allergies affect about 1-2% of adults 2-8% of children
- Slide 7
- Symptoms: Itchy, watery eyes Rash Congestion Itchiness Difficulty breathing Anaphylactic shock (Can be life threatening)
- Slide 8
- Basics of allergic reactions 1-Allergen 2-IgE antibodies 3-Mast cells 4-Histamine release
- Slide 9
- Anti-Histamines
- Slide 10
- GM Controversy Ethics Gene flow Resistance Harm to other organisms Allergens???
- Slide 11
- Overview Introduction: GM foods, allergies, controversy Paper 1 Paper 2 Paper 3 Paper 4 Current regulations Conclusions
- Slide 12
- Paper 1: Identification of a Brazil-nut allergen in transgenic soybeans New England Journal of Medicine 1996
- Slide 13
- Purpose: To assess ability of proteins from 1)soybeans (Glycine max) 2)transgenic soybeans 3)Brazil nuts (Bertholletia excelsa) 4)purified 2S albumin to bind to IgE serum
- Slide 14
- Methods: Radio allergosorbent test (RAST) 4 serums Sodium dodecyl sulfate-polyacrylamide-gel electrophoresis (SDS-PAGE) 9 serums Skin Prick Tests
- Slide 15
- RAST basics
- Slide 16
- Results: RAST More inhibition of IgE binding = more allergic. Triangles= WT Squares= GM soybean Circles= Brazil nut
- Slide 17
- Results: SDS-PAGE IgE binding Total Proteins IgE binding
- Slide 18
- Results: Skin-Prick Test
- Slide 19
- Main Points: GM soybean protein successfully competed with Brazil nut protein. IgE from 8/9 allergic to Brazil nut bound to introduced 2S albumin in GM soybeans.
- Slide 20
- Overview Introduction: GM foods, allergies, controversy Paper 1 Paper 2 Paper 3 Paper 4 Current regulations Conclusions
- Slide 21
- Paper 2 Lack of detectable allergenicity of transgenic maize and soya samples Journal of Allergy and Clinical Immunology 2005
- Slide 22
- Purpose: Monitor 5 GM products whose transgenes came from sources with no allergenic history
- Slide 23
- Methods: Food Survey Previous exposure? Skin Prick Tests 27 kids with food allergies 50 patients with asthma rhinitis SDS-PAGE
- Slide 24
- Flour products tested
- Slide 25
- Food survey results
- Slide 26
- Western Blot
- Slide 27
- Testing Lab Supply SDS PAGE Western Blot
- Slide 28
- SDS PAGE Western Blot
- Slide 29
- Skin prick and IgE results
- Slide 30
- Main Point: No detectable difference in IgE reactivity between wild type and GM soybeans or corn.
- Slide 31
- Overview Introduction: GM foods, allergies, controversy Paper 1 Paper 2 Paper 3 Paper 4 Current regulations Conclusions
- Slide 32
- Paper 3 A comparative study of the allergenic potency of wild-type and glyphosate- tolerant gene-modified soybean cultivars Acta pathologica, microbiologica et immunologica Scandinavica 2003
- Slide 33
- Purpose: To compare allergenicity of 8 wild type and 10 GM soybeans varieties (all for CP4 EPSPS)
- Slide 34
- Methods: RAST (serum from 10 patients) SDS-PAGE Histamine Release test Skin prick tests
- Slide 35
- RAST results More inhibition of labeled IgE binding = more original serum bound first.
- Slide 36
- RAST results Concentration of extract needed for 50% inhibition of IgE binding (variety #12)
- Slide 37
- Histamine Release results Notice lack of any major differences no where to point an arrow! Skin Prick Test Histamine Release (0=negative, 6=lots)
- Slide 38
- Histamine Release for patient I Pretty similar!
- Slide 39
- Main Points: Difference between patients response, but no statistical difference between WT and TG soybeans. Addition of CP4 EPSPS gene higher allergenicity
- Slide 40
- Overview Introduction: GM foods, allergies, controversy Paper 1 Paper 2 Paper 3 Paper 4 Current regulations Conclusions
- Slide 41
- Paper 4 Genetic modification removes an immunodominant allergen from soybean Plant Physiology 2003
- Slide 42
- Purpose: To silence the Gly m Bd 30K (P34) gene transgenically
- Slide 43
- P34 A major soybean allergen More than 65% of soy-sensitive patients react only to the P34 protein Less than 1% of total protein Pigs, calves and salmon also allergic
- Slide 44
- Methods: Created a P34 silencing vector (plasmid pKS73) Grew these into homozyous strains Used SDS-PAGE for presence of P34 protein
- Slide 45
- Results
- Slide 46
- Soybean Protein Map
- Slide 47
- Protein Analysis Wild typeP34 Silenced Missing P34 proteins and intermediates
- Slide 48
- Main Points: TG and WT were indistinguishable in size, shape, protein and oil content P34 gene silencing was successful
- Slide 49
- Overview Introduction: GM foods, allergies, controversy Paper 1 Paper 2 Paper 3 Paper 4 Current regulations Conclusions
- Slide 50
- Whos in charge? Coordinated Framework for the Regulation of Biotechnology - 1986 3 regulatory bodies of genetically modified foods: (Animal and Plant Health Inspection Service)
- Slide 51
- Considerations: Effect on environment (animals, insects) Transferable to wild type Digestive stability Toxicity Weediness
- Slide 52
- FDA Food additives Manufacturers responsible for checking Voluntary consultation process - but all on U.S. market have undergone
- Slide 53
- Conclusions Allergens can be added Mostly, there is no difference Can also remove allergens Continue studies Continue monitoring
