Abstract

The present invention provides a storable POD
conjugate solution, characterised by a pH value of 5,0 to 6.5, adjusted by means of an organic buffer substance with aconcentration of 40 to 100 mmol/l, and 0.05 to 1.0 mol/l magnesium aspartate.

Description

-The present invention is concerned with storable con-jugates of protein and horseradish peroxidase (POD
conjugates).
In DD 237327 are described proteins, heterocyclic azines and polyalcohols in a medium with a pH value of from 6.0 to 7.5 for the stabilisation of POD(HRP) con-jugates. In EP-A 0,303,062, hydrolysed chicken albumin and/or calf serum, polyvinylpyrrolidone and/or calcium propionate, ANS (anilinoaphthysulphonic acid) in tris buffer of pH 7.2 are described for the stabilization of POD conjugates; EP-A 0,197,447 describes aminopyrine, for example, in phosphate, citrate or borate buffer; from DE-A 31 00 076 is known a medium containing ANS and serum protein; EP-A
0,070,992 describes a medium containing 4-aminoanti-pyrine, ANS and serum protein; and US-A 4,169,012 describes the use of polyvalent ions of Groups 2 and 3 of the Periodic System. However, POD conjugates in solution can only be stabilised for a limited period of time with these additives. Even after a few days, a distinct decrease of the POD activity or of the stability is observed in immunological tests.
The present invention seeks to provide a POD con-jugate solution with improved stability which can be stored at ambient temperature for a comparatively long period of time and which can be produced in a simple and reproducable way.
Thus, according to the present invention, there is provided a storable POD conjugate solution, ~.~
.. ~

2û80971 characterised by a pH value of 5.0 to 6 5, adjusted b~ means of an organic buffer substance with a concent-ration of 40 to 100 mmol/l, and 0.05lto 1~0 mol/l magnesium aspartate.
As POD conaugates, there are preferably used the conau~ates of PoD as label and of a binder and especiaIl~- immunological binder substsnce employ~d for immunological determination processes. As binder conjugate partners of POD, there are especially preferabl~ used antibodies,.fragments thereof, anti-gens-,~ haptens,~biotin and streptavidin.
~ ccording to the present invention, as~ organic buffer substance,. it is especisll~ preferred to use Good buffer,.
citrate buffer and/or 2-(N-morpholino)-ethanesulphonic acid (M~S.),. ~ES being preferabl~ u$ed.
n the basis of the pH values to be adjusted to one another,. of the concentration of the buffer substances and of the pres~nce of magnesium aspartate,. outstand~ng stability results are achieved with the POD conjugate~
solutions according to the present invention.
In adaition, the solutions according to the present invention preferablg contain stsbilisers, p~e~erving agents and/or inert proteins, namel~ especiall~ O to 0.4 g/l of stabiliser~, O to 1 g/l of preserving 2.5 agents and/or O to 20 g/l of inert protein..
Inert proteins (supporting proteins) include, for example, albumins, casein and immunoglobulins Stabi.-lis~rs which can be used according to the present 2~

invention include, for example, ANS, phenol and dimethylaminoantipyrine. Preserving agents which can be used according to the present invention include, for example, Kathon (Trade Mark), oxipyrion and methyl isothiazolone.
The solutions according to the present invention possess outstanding stabilities. For different POD
conjugates, for example, MAB-POD or hepten-POD, after storage for 3 weeks at 35C, the peroxidase activity is still 80 to 99% of the initial value.
The following Examples are given for the purpose of illustrating the present invention, without limit-ing it thereto. If nothing otherwise is stated, the percentages and parts are by weight.
ExamPle 1 CarrY out of an immunoloqical determination Process.
The test was carried out according to the ELISA
test principle as a one-step sandwich test by means of solid phase-bound streptavidin, a biotinylated, mono-clonal antibody (MAB-Bi) and a peroxidase-labelled second monoclonal antibody (MAB-POD).
100 ~1 of sample and 1000 ~1 of working solution were introduced into a polystyrene test tube coated with streptavidin (production according to EP-A
0 269 092).

2.9 ml of substrate solution and 0 1 ml of dilute sample (M~B-~OD) were mixed in a cuvette with 1 cm path length - an~, after mixing, the absorption change was moni.tored at smbient temperature for 5 minutes at 405 nm.
An average value of the extinction change per minute was determined. The ~OD activit~ was determined according to the following equation:
activity = 0.8152 x A~min (U/ml of æsmple solution) ~xampIe 3.

Anti-~S~:antibody-POD conjugate was stored in PQD stora~e solution (without the addition of MAB-Bi) at different pH values in different buffer substances for 3 weeks at 4C and 35C.
The function. of the conjugate was tested according to the process described in ~ample 1 in the presence of buffer and magnesium aspartate~- The POD activity was also tested according to Example 2~
