Description

It is a kind of for determining the method and device of clinical sample small particles characteristic and concentration
Technical field
The present invention relates to a kind of for determining the method and device of clinical sample small particles characteristic and concentration.
Technical background
Little particle generally refers to particle of the diameter less than 1 micron, is thus generically referred to as nano particle.They are typically found in In liquid and air.Usually by monitoring or characterizing these short grained sizes, quantity (or concentration), as monitoring product or system Make a kind of means of procedure quality.However, since little particle has the general small size of nanometer, so being difficult reliably to measure it Size and the concentration for determining sample small particles.The existing short grained technology of characterization mainly has:
(1) transmission electron microscope (TEM).Transmission electron microscope (TEM) is provided to short grained accurate and high-resolution Measurement, but its have the shortcomings that it is many.Firstly, TEM imaging depends on the density of sample, therefore the little particle in biological sample (being mainly made of lipid film, protein and nucleic acid) is difficult to the imaging that is taken in the case where no manipulation.In addition, this method Expensive equipment is not only needed, but also needs flower very great strength and is lot more time to obtain result.Therefore, it is often unsuitable for It is used in clinical setting.
(2) dynamic light scattering (DLS).Dynamic light scattering (DLS) is the technology based on light scattering, is commonly used in nanoparticle Measurement.Dynamic light scattering (DLS) is the size that particle in solution is measured by the strength fluctuation of the light of analysis sample scattering. Since the 1960s is by invention, DLS has become a kind of particle size determination method of prevalence.However, DLS is by many Limitation.For example, scattered light intensity depends not only on the concentration of particle, refractive index, electrolyte and the particle ruler of solvent are additionally depended on Very little uniformity, and the latter is especially problematic for biological sample, because particle size therein is usually non-uniform.
(3) gradient centrifugation.Gradient centrifugation is normally used for the particle in analytical solution because the rate of settling of particle with Particle size is related.However, sinking speed depends not only on centrifugal force and particle size, the viscosity and density of solution are additionally depended on. Although this method can be used for determining particle size, it is likely difficult to the concentration for determining particle.If using centrifugal method, also Need to spend the time to complete required program and operation heavy equipment, to limit its effectiveness in clinical setting.
(4) nano-particle trace analysis (NTA).Nano-particle trace analysis (NTA) is for determining sample small particles Size and concentration.With this method, the Blang of single particle is independently tracked using the light scattered from incident laser light source Movement directly measures diffusion constant, and the diffusion constant is related to the hydrodynamic radius of single particle, therefore can use In derivation particle size.But there are many disadvantages by NTA, including no size resolution, the folding for needing to know in advance tracked particle Penetrate the interference of rate and mechanical oscillation.
(5) adjustable resistance pulse sensing (TRPS).The adjustable resistance pulse sensing (TRPS) of nanoparticle can be used to directly It measures particle concentration and high-resolution analysis is carried out to granularity and surface charge.Apply electricity on the hole filled with electrolyte Pressure, can produce ionic current.When particle passes through the hole, it can cause current blockade event, and this event can be used for measurement Grain concentration and granular size.
Above-mentioned all characterizing methods all highlight the importance of determining particle size, and are mainly used for determining little particle Size.However, Accurate Determining particle size may be difficult, it is highly dependent on analysis condition, so being unrepeatable. Moreover, the demand of measurement particle size is in quality of production control or research environment.In clinical application, clinical sample In particle even derive from the organ or cell of same type, size is also non-uniform, it is thus determined that partial size is not It is required.On the contrary, the concentration and characteristic of particle can provide enough information for certain clinical applications.It is therefore desirable to little particle Characteristic (for example, particle is come wherefrom or from which cell or organ) and concentration characterized, to be used for diagnostic monitoring Disease or illness, or the safety and effect of monitoring treatment.

Specific embodiment
To make the object, technical solutions and advantages of the present invention clearer, right below in conjunction with examples and drawings 1~5 Technical solution of the present invention is clearly and completely described.
The present embodiment is the source for determining the candidate particles with one or more specific marker objects, and estimates clinical sample Candidate particles concentration in product.The specific marker object refer to the source (such as specific cells) that can reflect candidate particles and The significant substance of derived cell situation (such as dead cell).These significant substances are also referred to as the characteristic of particle.These are special Specific labels can reside in particle surface, can also exist on inside particle.The characteristic of measured particle and concentration Information can be used for clinical application, such as the monitoring of medical diagnosis on disease and treatment method.
Candidate particles are the extracellular vesica of living cells secretion or the cell fragment of dead cell in the present embodiment.If to be measured Particle has the label in indicator cells source, then this label can disclose the source of particle, and in sample candidate particles concentration Then show its abundance.Therefore, the characteristic (or source) and concentration of candidate particles provide the snapshot of cell metabolism, and for more The good safety for diagnosing the illness or monitoring treatment and/or effect provide strong supplementary means.
Determine that the specific implementation method of clinical sample small particles characteristic and concentration is as follows:
Human body cell complete in clinical sample is removed first.The clinical sample include human blood sample (serum or blood plasma), Urine, saliva or the sample eluted in buffer etc..Human blood sample product are usually by blood platelet (2.65~2.9 μm of diameter), red thin The leucocyte group that born of the same parents' (7~8 μm of diameter) and diameter range are 7~8 μm (small lymphocyte) to 15~30 μm (monocyte) At.Urine sample may contain leucocyte, red blood cell and epithelial cell.Therefore candidate particles diameter be likely less than 2.5 μm or 1.0 μm of person.Human body cell and blood platelet in sample can be used centrifugal method and they removed from sample.For example, will face Bed sample is centrifuged 15min at 2500G, it is sufficient to remove the blood platelet and human body cell in sample.Supernatant caused by being centrifuged It can be used for the present embodiment small particles characteristic and concentration analysis.
Then a part of supernatant samples of above-mentioned centrifugation removal human body cell and blood platelet are contacted with detection reagent It incubates.Incubation temperature is 15~37 DEG C, preferably 20~30 DEG C;Incubative time is 5~60min.Specific incubation temperature and time It needs to optimize specific Testing index by experiment.The detection reagent contains the first probe, and first probe is appropriate Buffer system in can be combined with indicating first marker in its source on candidate particles;100 μ l supernatants are taken in the present embodiment The detection reagent of liquid sample and isometric (i.e. 100 μ l), which mix, to be incubated, and the Incubation mixtures of 2x are prepared into.
Since candidate particles concentration may be very high in above-mentioned Incubation mixtures, it is thus possible to need to dilute.The present embodiment Selection is diluted 100 times to 10ml, since the probe not being combined in Incubation mixtures also is diluted by the dilution step, Therefore dilution needs to be changed according to specific candidate particles and clinical application, and needs using from healthy individuals and patient A large amount of samples optimize.
The Incubation mixtures for taking a part to dilute again are mixed with the particle that compares for being combined with the second probe, and it is mixed to form first Close object.Then the first mixture is mixed to form the second mixture with the magnetic-particle for being enclosed with the first binding partners.Institute The second probe is stated to be wrapped up by the second marker on control particle;And second marker is similar to the first marker;With Convenient for the first binding partner binds on magnetic-particle.
Then the second mixture containing candidate particles 1, control particle 2, magnetic-particle 3 is loaded into equipped with watch window Reaction vessel in observed, observation preferably carry out at room temperature, as shown in Figures 1 to 3, and shoot photo record.It is given in Fig. 4 An example of this image is gone out.The figure illustrates two kinds of particles, i.e. candidate particles 1 from clinical sample and right According to particle 2.Due to control particle 2 concentration be it is known, can according in picture frame control particle 2 quantity survey The concentration of candidate particles.In this example, there are 10 control particle 2 and 12 candidate particles respectively, therefore it is micro- to obtain a control Grain is with the quantity of candidate particles than the ratio for 1.2.Assuming that the concentration of control particle is 1.5 × 10^6, then candidate particles is dense Degree is 1.8 × 10^6.Multiple images frame can be used, and using mean concentration or the method for median concentration, more accurately to estimate Count the concentration of particle to be measured.In this way, the concentration of candidate particles has been determined in clinical sample, and the characteristic of candidate particles (is come Source etc.) also determined according to the marker contained by it, these information can be used in various medical applications.
Above-mentioned method can also some be flexible, for example, in certain embodiments, magnetic-particle may not be necessary.? In the embodiment, image can be shot under the different depth of field, weaker signal will be shown by those of not focusing particle, such as The signal of fruit granule be lower than focused particle signal (peak signal) 50%, then these particles be considered it is sightless And in the picture without counting.The candidate particles rule being applied to simultaneously in control particle and clinical sample, so that it may right Candidate particles in clinical sample count, and then diagnosis for disease or Treatment monitoring establish the critical concentration of candidate particles.
In the method for not magnetic-particle, two or more probes can be used.It is, for example, possible to use three probes, In addition to the second probe for compareing particle, combinable two probes on candidate particles, one for determining coming for candidate particles Source, i.e. the first probe;One characteristic (whether with specific marker) for determining candidate particles, as third probe. In this case, which will provide three relevant informations: the concentration of candidate particles, which kind of cell class candidate particles come from Whether type and particle to be measured are from dead or dead cell.
In mentioned-above two methods, used probe can be fluorescence probe, and the first, second probe, including It is differentiable for not having the third used in the method for magnetic-particle to visit issued wavelength of fluorescence.In two methods, used The first probe be the probe combined with nucleic acid or lipid film, can only penetrate into from dead or just in dead cell In conjunction with candidate particles, therefore it can indicate the source of candidate particles, i.e., instruction candidate particles are from dead or dead Die cell.The first marker combined on candidate particles with the first probe refer to be primarily present in an organ, a kind of cell, Blood platelet, the epithelium of a kind of cancer cell or blood vessels or the marker (can be a kind of specific protein) in endothelial cell, with Just test information is used to diagnose or therapy monitors.
In mentioned-above method, on particle to be measured used probe can be specific probe be also possible to it is non-specific The probe of property.Specific probe be with a binding partner binds on candidate particles, and the binding partners are special The opposite sex is combined with another marker (non-attribute tags object) on candidate particles, such as the antibody marked with FTIC.Therefore Specific probe is indicated with the presence or absence of attribute tags object on the particle to be measured, and uses the attribute tags object of candidate particles as.And It is because the first marker above particle to be measured has indicated the characteristic of particle to be measured when using nonspecific probe. Nonspecific probe can be the fluorescent molecule in conjunction with lipid film, can also be with the dyestuff in conjunction with nucleic acid.With lipid knot The example of the fluorescent molecule of conjunction includes BODIPY probe (by the ThermoFisher for being located at the city State of Massachusetts, US Waltham Scientific company sale);Probe in conjunction with nucleic acid includes various forms of SYBR Green molecules.
In clinical application, particle secrete from living cells (such as excretion body) or the generation of decomposing by dead cell are distinguished Particle is being necessary.By dead cell film generate particle may be containing nucleic acid and the film of these particles is damaged and Become to permeate, so certain can be with the dyestuff in conjunction with DNA or other nucleic acid, such as propidium iodide (PI) and SYTOX(are by position ThermoFisher Scientific company in the Massachusetts city Waltham manufactures) or their derivative, these permeable films, And these dyestuffs are these impermeable films under normal circumstances.Therefore these dyestuffs can be used for determining whether candidate particles come From in dead cell, and fluorescence caused by them are determined for the concentration of these candidate particles, and then the information that will be measured It can be used for monitoring the cytotoxicity or/and validity of therapy (such as chemotherapy use for cancer treatment).
Probe in addition to fluorescence probe can be used in certain examples, for example, chemiluminescence can also be used for be measured Grain detection.There is the second binding partners of affinity, Ke Yiyong with the second upper marker on candidate particles (such as antibody) Chemiluminescent molecule can generate chemiluminescent enzyme and be marked.Can chemiluminescent enzyme include alkaline phosphatase and peppery Root peroxidase (HRP).Chemiluminescence may be implemented in the presence of suitable substrate in these enzymes, with meet the later period observation and Shoot photo.
In mentioned-above two methods, used control particle is sample is introduced into when detection process starts outer Carry out particle, it, can be with right and wrong for showing the correct progress of detection process, and the concentration for calculating the candidate particles in sample Magnetic particle, diameter dimension specification include: 50~100nm, 50~250nm, 50~500nm, and 50~1000nm or 500~ 2000nm.It is preferable to use granules of polystyrene for the control particle, the second probe thereon can be encapsulated in it is intragranular Hydrophobic fluorescence molecule, marker thereon can pass through common chemical method (such as peptide bond) Lai Jinhang covalent coupling to particle Surface.Control particle and its relevant product can obtain (such as real positioned at the Bangs of Indiana, USA from commercial source Test room).
In the method using magnetic-particle, the magnetic-particle is marked with the first binding partners, the first knot Closing gametophyte can be antibody, nucleic acid, peptide, aptamer, peptidomimetic, ligand, receptor one of which or combinations thereof.This first combine spouse Physical efficiency is specifically combined with the first marker in clinical sample on candidate particles.In the method using magnetic-particle Main purpose is to attract and fix candidate particles and control particle on the surface of the watch window of reaction vessel, so as to shooting figure Picture.The suitable dimension of magnetic-particle is 0.5~3.5 μm, 0.5~2 μm or 0.5~1.5 μm.Magnetic-particle can also be easily from quotient Industry source obtains (such as positioned at laboratory Bangs of Indiana, USA).As shown in Fig. 2, magnetic-particle 3 with compare particle 2 combine to form compound 5, combine to form compound 6 with candidate particles 1.From this figure, it can be seen that and to be measured not all Grain 1 and control particle 2 are all captured by magnetic-particle 3.In some embodiments, there are one between the two sides of reaction vessel 4 Fixed space, so that the candidate particles 1 and control particle 2 that are not combined are combined and are attracted to magnetic-particle 3 far from those The particle on watch window surface, therefore have no effect on measurement result.
According to the observation with the photo of shooting record, the characteristic and concentration of candidate particles, are used in the clinical sample calculated The critical concentration of medical diagnosis on disease or Treatment monitoring, the particle with certain markers can be by testing from health with patient's Sample is established.For example, when being used for therapy detection, when the particle from dead nephrocyte is more than certain critical concentration, Indicate that kidney has been poisoned;For another example when being used to monitor the chemotherapy, immunotherapy or cell therapy of cancer, due to these therapies It is all expected to kill cancer cell, while may also can kill healthy cell.In the clinical sample from patients undergoing chemotherapy, it is originated from dry The concentration of the particle of cell (having certain stem cell-specific marker's objects) can be used for monitoring the safety of chemotherapy;And it is thin to be originated from cancer The granule density of born of the same parents then can be used for the effect of monitoring chemotherapy.Similarly, the particle from liver and kidney can be during chemotherapy It is respectively used to the damage of monitoring liver and kidney.
It is further for distinguishing bacterium and true in addition, method above-mentioned can be used for diagnosis bacterium or fungal infection Bacterium infection.Since bacterial cell is significantly less than fungal cell in clinical sample, and the form of fungal cell and bacterial cell respectively has Feature, therefore its cell size can be used or cellular morphology distinguishes, but can also be using using bacterial indicator or fungal cell The specific marker object of characteristic is combined to determine, or using a variety of methods to distinguish bacterium and fungi.So can be with Wen Pei and observation are carried out using the method for front, to determine the result distinguished into one.
Method above-mentioned can be also used for the aggregation in detection characterization blood sample, to indicate disease or health status. For example, aggregation contains blood platelet or other ingredients in the blood sample of the patient with severe sepsis.Therefore assemble Body concentration and characteristic (such as, if contain leucocyte or other ingredients) can be used for diagnosing or predicting whether patient suffers from seriously Septicemia or septic shock.But, because the size of these aggregations is likely larger than normal blood cell, diagnosis whether When with septicemia, the clinical blood sample used need not carry out separation removal normal blood cell, and the camera shooting used Equipment can be lower with amplification factor.Concrete principle are as follows: because bigger than blood platelet with blood platelet or its segment in aggregation, this A little aggregations can pass through blood platelet marker and size identification.Blood sample from patient suspected can prevent blood platelet In the condition of solidification with fluorescent marker the special antibody of blood platelet (or the like) incubate, be then diluted to suitable dense Degree is placed in observation device and carries out camera shooting record and analysis.Pass through size discrimination orthoplastocyte and aggregation when analysis.? Same amplification factor similarly observes how much (or whether there is) and septicemia of aggregation in device, and same range of observation Severity is related.Critical value can be established by testing the sample of a certain number of health and patient.
The device of observation and shooting photo noted earlier, primary element includes the incubation for holding candidate particles The reaction vessel 4 of mixture, the scanner-recorder 11 positioned at 4 watch window side of reaction vessel, and with scanner-recorder 11 The calculating of connection and data storage device 13.In the embodiment using fluorescence probe, observation device used further includes being used for Cause candidate particles 1 and compare particle 2 in probe generate fluorescence excitation light source 7, and the excitation light source 7 launch swash It shines and is irradiated to the watch window of reaction vessel 4 at a certain angle, so that the residual light of light 8 deflects, reduce exciting light and penetrate The result of interference observation and shooting.Excitation light source 7 appropriate includes that can emit with the wavelength light for being suitable for exciting probe LED.For example, the maximum absorption wavelength (excitation wavelength) of propidium iodide dyestuff be 493nm, therefore can launch wavelength be 493nm Or the LED light source of the light close to 493nm is suitable.In order to be further reduced the interference of exciting light, can remember in described image Optical filter 10 is preferably provided between record device 11 and 4 watch window of reaction vessel, 10 permission probes of optical filter appropriate generate Fluorescence pass through, and exciting light is stopped to pass through.For example, the emission maximum light of propidium iodide is 636nm, therefore can stop The optical filter 10 that light source at or near 493nm allows the light at or near 636nm to pass through simultaneously is adapted as the iodine of probe Change the third pyridine.When using multiple fluorescence probes, for example, the second probe for compareing particle and the first spy for candidate particles When needle exists simultaneously, one or two excitation light source 7 can be used to excite two probes, while optical filter 10 should select to allow The transmitting light of two probes passes through simultaneously.It the use of a variety of fluorescent probe techniques has been this field profession in fluoremetry Personnel's common method.
In the embodiment using magnetic-particle 3, can be equipped under the scanner-recorder 11 of equipment therefor can generate magnetic Equipment 12(such as magnet), so as to by magnetic-particle 3 and the candidate particles captured by magnetic-particle 31 and control Grain 2 attracts and is fixed to together the inner surface of 4 watch window of reaction vessel, is observed and/or shot photo.
Scanner-recorder 11 used in the device of foregoing observations and color matching photo, is typically chosen based on charge-coupled device (CCD), the camera of complementary metal oxide semiconductor (CMOS) and other similar device.It combines fluorescence microscope and nanometer Grain trace analysis (NTA) technology is for monitoring and counting labeled particle.In certain embodiments, it is possible to use high-resolution Digital camera can shoot image.The resolution limit of one standard picture recording device is that optical diffraction limit is about 200nm, more Nian Lai has developed many technologies to realize that the resolution ratio for being lower than diffraction limit, such as Laser Scanning Confocal Microscope, photon tunnel are shown Micro mirror (PTM), near field optic Random Maps microscope, 4Pi, structured illumination microscope and spatial modulation illumination.However, these are high Resolution camera is too complicated and expensive for most of clinical applications.
Digital camera in some other embodiment with low resolution is equally applicable to certain clinical applications.This is Because limiting factor here is granule density, and granule density can be adjusted by diluting.For example, can be incited somebody to action by dilution Granule density is adjusted to less than 10^5/ml(or cm3).If there is the particle of 2x10^5/ml to be attracted to the watch window of 1x1cm The picture field of surface or camera, if shooting them using 20,000,000 pixel digital cameras, each particle averagely has 100 Pixel.Theoretical limit is one particle of each pixel.Therefore, the digital camera of 20,000,000 pixels should have enough point Resolution come detect every milliliter up to 20,000,000 particles particle concentration.In addition, being exactly image there is also another limiting factor The area on surface.The image of one 1 × 1cm, surface area are 10^8 μm2, i.e., can at most accommodate 10^8 diameter is 1 μm micro- Grain.If granule density be 2 × 10^5/ml, every 500 μm2There to be 1 particle, it, will when the use of camera pixel being 20,000,000 Every 5 μm2Picture area have 1 pixel, this is greater than about the optical diffraction limit of 200nm.Therefore, based on charge-coupled device CCD digital camera can be to provide enough resolution ratio for certain clinical applications.In practical applications, each view can be shot Multiple images, can also in image different zones and/or different images sampled and analyzed, to obtain to be measured The mean concentration or median concentration of grain.If the signal strength of particle with granular size there are if correlativity, the letter of particle Number intensity can also be used in the size for estimating particle.
In addition utilizing total internal reflection fluorescence microscope (TIRFM) also can be used to be imaged.Aobvious using total internal reflection fluorescent When micro mirror (TIRFM) is imaged, device is as shown in figure 5, the two sides of 4 watch window of reaction vessel are equipped with prism 14 to be used for Total internal reflection.And be equipped between 4 watch window of prism 14 and reaction vessel of 11 side of scanner-recorder and be equipped with immersion oil layer 15, with Guarantee that two contact surface any surface finish are conducive to observation shooting.But since TIRFM only illuminates the object near glass surface (at a distance of about 200nm), therefore it is only capable of shooting image along glass surface, using with certain limitation.
