  1. Item 7. SAMPLING AND LMOs DETECTION7.3. IDENTIFICATION OF LMOs

  2. Detection is required when: • By law in the country is required identification and/or labelling • Mixtures between GMOs + non-GMOs • Need to export to a country with strict legislation • Need to verify non-GMOs shipments • For environmental risk verifications

  3. In the international market • Important focus differences between commercial blocks: • USA does not require identification and GM crops are easily set free into the environment • EU requires labelling with 0.9% treshold

  4. “Historical” cans of GM tomato puree with long shelf life • First GM-food authorized 1994 • They were labelled… and people bought them!!! • The variety lost sensory characteristics and was retired from the market

  5. Extraction of: Sampling Immunostrips ELISA plates Protein PCR end point DNA RTq-PCR

  6. In order to detect proteins, specific antibodies are required. The antibodies are proteins with quaternary structure.

  7. Lateral flow test, IMMUNOSTRIP Control line. Antibodies anti-IgG adsorbed Test line. Antibodies anti-antigen adsorbed Antibodies anti-antigen conjugated with enzyme

  8. Lateral Flow test,IMMUNOSTRIP The antibodies are binded to their antigen in the sample and the complex antigen-antibody moves by capillarity towards the reaction lines.

  9. Lateral Flow test,IMMUNOSTRIP Antigen binds to the antibodies that are in the test line. Free antibodies bind to the antibodies anti-Ig present in the control line.

  10. Immunostrip procedure 1. Weigh 250 mg of fresh leaf (plantlet) 2. Insert the sample in the bag 3. Grind or crush the sample 5. Let stand for 10 minutes (vertical position) 4. Insert the immunostrip into the bag with SEB or MEB buffer. 6. Read results

  11. Qualitative immunoassay in strip. Ej. Cry9C QuickStixTM Envirologix

  12. Also by this technique can be detected CP4-EPSPS protein in samples with low % of transgenic maize

  13. The first Ac is adsorbed to the plate ELISA: Enzyme-Linked-ImmunoSorbent Assay Format: DAS (Double Antibody Sandwich)

  14. Sample that contains protein is added Protein ELISA: Enzyme-Linked-ImmunoSorbent Assay Formato: DAS (Double Antibody Sandwich)

  15. Second antibody is added. It is conjugated with a enzyme Enzyme Antibody ELISA: Enzyme-Linked-ImmunoSorbent Assay Format: DAS (Double Antibody Sandwich)

  22. Detection thresholds of three transgenic maize events CP4-EPSPS protein can be detected with high sensitivity in mixtures with low percentage of transgenic maize. Sensitivity for detection of CRY proteins is much lower.

  23. Considerations:Immunochemical methods • Immunochemical methods can be realized in fast ways, in situ, or in laboratory, few equipment is required. • Strip based methods are only qualitative. • ELISA can be quantitative but: • Different levels of protein expression are reflected in different sensitivity levels • No reference materials recognized. • No agreement between quantification units (% in weight or protein concentration)

  24. Sequence of interest Taq polymerase Synthesis of one copy PCR principles • Double chain opening (~90°C) –denaturation- • Primers that recognize specific sequences (50- 60°C) • Synthesis of template complementary chains (74°C) 3’ 5’ 5’ 3’ 3’ 5’ 5’ 3’
