Researchers explore making eggs edible and safe for all by removing the problematic strain of protein known to trigger most egg allergies.
Ovomucoid accounts for 11% of all protein contained in egg whites and plays a role in protecting the embryo in the egg from harmful microbes.
knocked out with OVM by platinum Transcription Activator-Like Effector Nucleases ,” said Ryo Ezako, an assistant professor at the Graduate School of Integrated Sciences for Life at Hiroshima University, Japan.To detect and isolate the ovomucoid protein, researchers engineered TALENs to target exon 1, a vital region of the gene that contains information for protein translation and gene regulation.
Further testing using anti-ovomucoid and anti-mutant ovomucoid antibodies confirmed the lack of any traces of the allergen protein, confirming the eggs to be safe.
