Abstract

Gluten was extracted from domestic wheat flour using UTH buffer (4 M urea in 0.1 M Tris-HCl, pH 8.6) and validated by SDS-PAGE analysis for production of wheat flour products with reduced gluten content.. Anti-gluten polyclonal antibody was made by administering extracted gluten fraction on animal model. Anti-gluten serum titer of extracted gluten fraction was evaluated by ELISA, and that of antibody titer according to administration period. Anti-gluten sera were used for ELISA and immunoblot analysis before and after hydrolysis of gluten fraction at optimal pH and temperature condition for each protease. Gluten fraction separated by SDS-PAGE showed several bands covering 75 to 10 kDa, in which anti-gluten sera were 25, 34, and 45 kDa. Enzyme hydrolysis of gluten fraction revealed protein band sizes to be lower than 15 kDa. Content of pretense from bovine pancreas (b.p. protease) for gluten hydrolysis was estimated as 1 mg in 10 mL gluten fraction extracted for 4 hr.

효소에 의한 단백질 분해로 우리 밀의 저 알레르겐화를 시도하기 위한 기초 연구로서 금강밀에서 gluten fraction을 추출하여 동물 실험을 통하여 경구 섭취된 gluten에 대한 항체 생성을 유도하였다. Gluten fraction은 UTH buffer로 추출하여 10-50kDa 사이의 분자량에서 여러 밴드가 확인된 분획을 얻었으며 약 25 kDa, 34 kDa 그리고 45 kDa 부근의 밴드가 주요하게 나타났다. 그리고, 경구 투여로 유도된 gluten에 대한 항체는 ELISA와 western blot의 항원-항체 반응을 실시하여 anti-gluten lgG, IgE를 확인하였다. 또한 경구 투여의 투여 시간 경과에 따라 항체가는 상승하였다. 추출된 gluten fraction은 bromelain, papain, ficin 그리고 b.p. protease 각 효소의 최적 pH와 온도에서 가수 분해하여 gluten fraction의 알레르겐 저감화를 시도하였다. 효소 분해 후 gluten fraction의 저분자화 정도는 anti-gluten 하체에 대한 ELISA를 실시하여 검토하였다. 그 결과 bromelain, papain, ficin의 경우보다 b.p. protease을 처리한 경우가 ELISA value를 크게 저하시켰다. 이것은 gluten fraction이 b.p protease 효소 가수분해에 의해 생성된 항체가 인식하는 amino acid 서열 (epitope)이 분해되었음을 나타낸 것이다. 마지막으로 b.p. protease의 분해능력을 1mg, 2mg, 3mg/10mL로 첨가량을 달리하여 검토한 결과 첨가량에 따른 변화는 거의 나타나지 않았다. 따라서 금강밀의 gluten fraction 10mL에 b.p protease 1mg으로 4시간 처리하여 단백질을 분해하여 우리밀의 항원성 저하 가능성이 탐색되었다.
