苦瓜蛋白RIP的免疫毒性研究

目的 分离纯化苦瓜籽核糖体失活蛋白(RIP),对RIP在动物体内急性毒性和免疫毒性进行研究.方法 采用离子交换层析、凝胶过滤层析等方法提取苦瓜籽RIP,对其进行小鼠急性毒性实验,确定小鼠半数致死量(LD50),并通过豚鼠全身主动过敏试验和大鼠被动皮肤过敏试验,探讨苦瓜籽RIP的免疫毒性. 结果苦瓜籽RIP对小鼠的LD50为25.2 mg/kg,全身主动过敏试验中,RIP高、低剂量组豚鼠出现明显过敏反应,多数迅速死亡,被动皮肤过敏试验中,RIP组大鼠皮肤出现明显蓝斑. 结论 苦瓜籽核糖体失活蛋白具有较强的免疫毒性.

Study on the Immunotoxicity of Ribosome Inhibiting Protein of Momordica Charantia

Objective To separate and purify ribosome inhibiting protein (RIP) from Momordica charantia (bitter melon) seeds and to evaluate its acute toxicity and immunotoxicity in animal. Methods Ion exchange chromatography and gel filtration chromatography were applied in the separating and purifying of RIP from Momordica charantia seeds. Then the acute toxicity testing of RIP in mice was conducted to obtain its half lethal dose (LD_(50)). Active systemic anaphylaxis (ASA) test in guinea pig and passive cutaneous anaphylaxis test (PCA) in rat were performed to evaluate its immunotoxicity. Results The LD_(50) (iv) in mice of RIP was 25. 2 mg/kg in ASA. guinea pigs of the higher and lower RIP group all appeared stong allergic responses and most of them died quickly. In PCA. obvious blue dye in skin were observed in SD rats of the RIP group. Conclusion RIP getting from Momordica charantia seeds had a relatively strong immunotoxicity in animals.
