Detailed Description Of The Invention
I. introduce
As shown in Figure 1, formaldehyde cause in the albumen nucleic acid and primary amine, particularly amino acid for example Lysine and arginic crosslinked. As crosslinked result, various lifes in the sample that formaldehyde is fixed The thing component can not be detected by the modern measure method. The invention provides reverse crosslinked, thus so that The method that has more biological components to be detected.
Sample crosslinked that reverses formaldehyde treated be by sample is contacted with the sufficient quantity alkylamine with The release cross-linking reaction realizes. The example that Fig. 1 has described crosslinked reverse (in this example Shown that nucleic acid is crosslinked by formaldehyde and lysine, with alkylamine reaction has been reversed subsequently.
In case crosslinked sample contacts with alkylamine, the then crosslinked minimizing of nucleic acid and protein or disappear Remove, thereby permission improves the detection of these components.
II. so that the more spendable method of crosslinked component
The invention provides for so that the component of the formaldehyde crosslinking of biological sample more can be used for detecting Method, it is by making sample contact with alkylamine. Be used for so that the more spendable alkyl of component The quantity of amine can change, and partly depends on the concrete alkylamine, to be detected that uses Component and employed detection method are because different detection methods has different sensitiveness Therefore may the different spendable component of desirability.
Ideally, to can be used for the amount of the component of specific detection method be component in the sample All measure. Yet the amount that usually is available to the user for the component of detection is lower than component in the sample All measure. In some embodiments of the present invention, processing the sample phase with not using alkylamine Ratio, the amount that can be used for the component used that detects is at least about 2 times and (uses identical detection side Method) under the condition, uses the alkylamine of sufficient quantity. In some embodiments, with do not make Process sample with alkylamine and compare, the amount that can be used for the component used that detects is at least about 5,10, Under the condition of 20,100 times (using identical detection method), use the alkylamine of sufficient quantity. In some embodiments, the concentration that be used for to discharge the crosslinked alkylamine of sample about 0.01% to approximately Between 5% (or more), for example between about 0.01% to about 1%, about 0.05% to about 2% Between, between about 0.05% to about 1%, between about 0.1% to about 1%.
Those skilled in the art can understand state (for example time and the temperature of sample and alkylamine combination Degree) will affect ability and the amount of crosslinked reverse. Alkylamine is processed in environment temperature (for example at 20-40 Or 50 ℃) between under be effectively, therefore do not need heating steps crosslinked to discharge not inevitablely. This When detecting relatively unsettled component, be useful especially, such as RNA. Yet, higher temperature Degree (such as 80~100 ℃, 90-100 ℃, 90-99 ℃ etc.) can further improve nucleic acid or egg But white matter for detection of degree of detection.
In addition, the amount of alkylamine and sample time of hatching is available to the user for detection with impact The amount of component. For example, sample can hatch at least about 5,10,20,30,60 with alkylamine, 120 minutes or more. Although longer incubation time can improve from the component of crosslinked release Amount, but this need to balance each other with the unstable degree of specific components. For example, unstable when detecting When fixed component such as RNA, can expect to use the short incubation time. On the contrary, more stable Component such as protein or DNA can be exposed long event and not damage component.
Need to recognize that can to use different alkylamine to discharge crosslinked. Do not limiting the scope of the invention Prerequisite under, selected alkylamine can discharge component also from the cross-bond of formaldehyde inducement usually And restore component (for example nucleic acid and/or protein) and become before basically existing with formaldehyde crosslinking Identical component. Cross-linking reaction is considered to the reversible process of being undertaken by the reaction of formaldehyde, First amine forms hemiacetal amine (hemiaminal), and subsequent dewatering obtains imines. Imines and second The amine reaction obtains product aminal (aminal). The method replaces second amine by imines and water Reaction be returned to initiation material. Believe that alkylamine of the present invention releases from the cross-bond of formaldehyde inducement Put component, it passes through as the competitive reaction thing in imines and aminal (aminal) formation. When cross-bond discharges as the partial equilibrium process, imine intermediate and formaldehyde and alkylamine, Thereby the cross-bond of component from formaldehyde inducement discharged. Usually, any alkylamine and primary amine (with have The time secondary amine) will be effective. Need to understand and can carry out various replacements to alkylamine, and basically Do not affect amine reverse crosslinked or produce other will with the energy of the reactive part of sample component reaction As long as power is the ability that such replacement does not hinder amine to react basically. Monoethanolamine energy for example Effectively reverse cross-bond. Ethylenediamine also is effectively, although need to admit other diamines will with Sample can be effectively used to method of the present invention. Further, although sometimes can be preferably than short alkane Base chain (for example having 1,2,3,4,5 carbon), but long carbochain also can be used.
The method according to this invention can be used the biological sample of the formaldehyde crosslinking of any type. Usually, tissue sample stems from animal tissue. In some embodiments, sample is embedded in stone In the wax. For example sample can be the fixing paraffin-embedded tissue (FFPET) of formalin. At some In the embodiment, sample is to obtain and be kept at subsequently to comprise the molten of formaldehyde from animal (for example people) In the liquid, before analyzing, stablizing sample, thus the nucleic acid in the crosslinked sample and/or protein. For example cervix or other gynaecology's swab (for example for detection of sexually transmitted disease) can be stored in Comprise in the solution of formaldehyde, thus the nucleic acid in the crosslinked sample and/or protein. Subsequently can root It is crosslinked to use alkylamine to reverse according to method of the present invention.
So that sample component can be used for detecting, comprise in the method for the invention volume for further Outer purifying or other steps. For example, if nucleic acid component that will test sample may have What help is to use Protease Treatment sample (for example before or after alkylamine is processed), perhaps Otherwise degrade protein in the sample. Exemplary protease is Proteinase K, although Need to understand and to replace to various other protease.
Depend on equally the detection method of using subsequently, expectation is removed or is reduced at least and test set The amount of the alkylamine of being combined with sample before dividing. For example, the inventor has been found that and helpfully is From other components and the nucleic acid from the alkylamine purification of samples of sample, it is by using reagent Or equipment for example centrifugal column with other partial purification nucleic acid from sample. Exemplary equipment be with Nucleic acid have affinity silica-based centrifugal column (for example from Qiagen, Valencia, CA's QiaquickTMCentrifugal column), although can certainly use other purification process to remove alkylamine.
Perhaps, amine can be by chemical neutralization no longer can significantly disturb the detection of specific components.
