We tested biomarker systems [enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) and immunochromatography assay (ICG) kits] for the screening of endocrine-disrupting chemicals in contaminated environments using antibodies re- sulting from 17β-Estradiol-induced vitellogenin (Vtg) in the wild scorpion fish Sebastiscus marmoratus. Monoclonal antibodies of two clones (S28 and S15) were used as capture and tracer antibodies for ELISA and ICG assays. ELISA detected Vtg at levels greater than 0.1 μg/mL, while ICG detected Vtg at levels greater than 1 μg/mL. However, the ICG system was able to detect antibodies from 17β-Estradiol-induced Vtg serum that had been diluted 1,000 times.
Our results suggest that previously developed biomarker assays can be used as detection systems to detect known endocrine-disrupting chemicals in contaminated environments, and to measure their activity

은노력을기하고있어연안해역에대한환경모니터링의중 요성이매우높은지역이라고할수있다
.
따라서이러한환경 의관리보전과안전적인양식산업의육성을위해인근해역의 내분비교란정도를파악하는것은매우중요한과제라고여겨 진다.
최근몇몇선진국에서이미해양성어류에대한Vtg
의항 체를개발하여내분비계장애물질에대한효과를조사하는연 구가진행되고있다(Smeers et a1., 1999).
본연구진에서도이 전연구를통하여연안해역의쏨뱅이(Sebastiscus marmotatus)
의Vtg
단클론항체를생산하였으며(Kim et al., 2013),
생산된Vtg
의항체를이용한내분비교란물질의신속진단법의개발 은연안생태계의화학물질오염정도를파악하는데매우유용 하게활용될수있다.
특히Kim et al. (2013)
에의하면,
연안 정착종인쏨뱅이Vtg
의생산항체는암컷특이단백질로넙치(Paralichthys olivaceus)
및산천어(Oncorhynchus masou)
등 의혈청Vtg
와는교차반응이이루어지지않고유사어종인우 럭볼락(Sebastes hubbsi)
의혈청Vtg
에서만교차반응이나타나 종특이성이강한것으로보고되고있어일정한영역에서환경 변화를감시하는데매우유용한종으로판단된다.
일반적으로항원항체반응을이용하여검체를손쉽게분석하 는 방법으로는 효소면역측정법
(enzyme-linked immunosor- bent assay, ELISA)
이가장보편적으로이용되고있다. ELISA
는매우민감한검출법으로서재현성및특이성이매우높으며,
무엇보다도다량의시료를동시에처리할수있다는장점을가 지고있다(Dixon-Holland and Katz, 1991).
우리나라에서Vtg
에대한
ELISA
의측정법을통하여내분비장애물질에대한측정을시도한것은붕어
(Carassius auratus)
의Vtg ELISA
시스 템을이용한보고(Lee et al., 2004)
가있으며,
해산어인문치가 자미(Kim et al., 2006)
및참돔(Han et al., 1995)
난소의발달 과정등을판단하기위해서도Vtg
의ELISA
기법이활용되어졌다
.
이처럼ELISA
는성성숙의지표뿐만이아니라환경오염을측정하는지표로서매우유용하게활용될수있을것으로여 겨진다
.
그러나현장에서단시간내에검정을하기에는부적합 하기때문에현장에서손쉽고정확하게신속히측정하는기법 으로는 면역크로마토그라피분석법(immunochromatography, ICG)
이주로사용되고있다.
이러한ICG
의기법은식품의안 전성검사는물론독성물질의분석등을위해많은연구가이루 어지고있으며,
이를바탕으로ICG
의현장적용실험도증가 하고있는추세라고할수있다(Van Emon and Chuang, 2013;
Scognamiglio et al., 2014).
이에본연구에서는해양어류중에서전세계적인분포를보 이며
