Description

Application of idiotype heterogeneity intensity of allergen-specific IgE antibody in allergen detection kit
Technical Field
The invention belongs to the field of clinical medicine/experimental diagnosis, relates to experimental diagnosis of allergic diseases, and particularly provides a novel experimental diagnosis index for the allergic diseases, namely idiotypic heterogeneity of an allergen specific IgE (sIgE) antibody. The magnitude of the idiotypic heterogeneity of the allergen sIgE antibodies correlates with the clinical manifestations of the patient or the severity of the symptoms of the allergy. In particular to the application of the idiotype heterogeneity intensity of an allergen-specific IgE antibody in a kit for detecting the allergen.
Background
(1) Allergic diseases
Hypersensitivity refers to pathological or abnormal immune response caused by the sensitized organism when the sensitized organism encounters the stimulation of the same antigen again. Hypersensitivity reactions are classified into 4 types according to clinical manifestations and mechanisms of occurrence, wherein type i hypersensitivity reactions are mediated by immunoglobulin e (ige), mast cells and basophils are involved, and most of the cases occur rapidly, also known as "immediate" hypersensitivity reactions. Clinical medicine refers to type i hypersensitivity as "allergy", which has the meaning of "abnormal", corresponding to a "normal" immune response in the body. Antigens that cause allergies are called "allergens" or "allergens" and are widely distributed, including inhalant allergens (e.g., various pollens), ingestible allergens (e.g., eggs, milk), certain drugs, insect venoms, and the like. Allergic reactions can cause anaphylactic shock, asthma attacks, rhinitis, vomiting, abdominal pain, topical eczema, skin rashes, etc., and diseases caused by allergic reactions are called allergic diseases. Allergic diseases have been a frequently encountered and common disease, such as allergic rhinitis, allergic asthma, allergic rash, allergic gastroenteritis, etc. Allergic diseases have developed into worldwide health problems, affect human health and disturb normal life. Immunoglobulin E is an important mediator of allergic diseases and plays an important role in the development of such diseases. Immunoglobulin E antibodies (IgE) are cytophilic in that their Fc fragment binds to a mast cell or basophil surface receptor (fcer), causing sensitization of the mast cell or basophil. When a cell in a sensitized state encounters a corresponding allergen, IgE antibodies located on the cell surface combine with corresponding epitope through a variable region (VH/VL) to form an antigen bridge, so that a complex cascade reaction occurs on a cell membrane, the sensitized cell releases bioactive media in a degranulation mode, and the active media act on a target tissue or organ to cause clinical symptoms.
(2) Routine experimental diagnosis method
Currently, the diagnosis of allergic diseases relies on interrogation of medical history, skin pricks and laboratory diagnosis. The experimental diagnosis is relatively simple and easy to implement, and is highly valued clinically. The experimental diagnosis includes serum total IgE level detection, allergen specific IgE (sIgE) level detection, peripheral blood Basophil Activation Test (BAT) and the like.
Total IgE levels are often used as an auxiliary diagnostic indicator for allergic diseases. General cases such as adult serum total IgE (tIgE) levels greater than 110IU/ml suggest the possibility of an allergic reaction, but do not suggest the allergen class and do not allow clinical diagnosis. The allergen sIgE antibody refers to a characteristic antibody of a single species, can determine the type of the allergen, and is clinically used as an important basis for etiological diagnosis. However, in the current diagnostic reagent used in clinical laboratories, the detection result of sIgE cannot be directed to a specific protein (antigen), and typically combinatorial proteins with significance are used as capture antigens, and the result represents a mixed antibody. In recent years, foreign researchers have proposed single-component diagnostics (CRD) or Molecular Diagnostics (MD) for inhalant allergens and/or ingestible allergens, in which single antigens are used as capture antigens, respectively, and then bound to IgE antibodies of the corresponding antigens, respectively, and then detected by anti-human IgE antibodies labeled with signal molecules. Despite molecular diagnostic levels, sIgE does not go deep to the most basic level. Because the basic unit of antigen recognition receptors (mIgM and mIgD) distributed on the surface of B cells is an antigenic epitope, it is not a complete antigenic molecule. In other words, an sIgE antibody directed against a single protein is also a mixture of a set of antibodies directed against different epitopes.
Unlike the detection of both tge and sIgE, the Basophil Activation Test (BAT) is based on a cell biology approach that simulates the activation process of truly sensitized cells in vivo, and the detection target is a "binding" antibody that binds to the cell surface, i.e., an sIgE antibody on the surface of sensitized cells. More importantly, the cell biology method can identify the binding capacity (affinity) of the allergen sIgE antibody and an antigen epitope, and the high-affinity antibody has stronger capacity of bridging the allergen and shows higher pathological activity of activating basophils. Clinical application shows that BAT can quantitatively analyze the activation degree and the functional state of basophils, and is suitable for evaluating the specific desensitization treatment effect, the risk of food exposure and the like.
(3) Routine experimentation to diagnose defects
Both the tge and sIgE detection methods rely on the principle of antigen-antibody specific binding assays, immunochemical techniques. the tIgE is determined by taking the IgE to be detected as a protein in a double-antibody sandwich mode, and the result only represents the content of serum IgE and does not represent the real pathological activity in vivo. The sIgE is detected by using a known antigen-antibody to be detected-labeled anti-antibody analysis mode by using the sIgE to be detected as an antibody, and the result only represents the relative content of the sIgE antibody and also cannot represent the real in-vivo 'pathological activity'. More importantly, the currently used clinical products for detection of sIgE do not reflect the situation of ige antibodies directed to epitope levels or detect the degree of idiotypic epitope heterogeneity of sIgE antibodies.
BAT is an ideal assay that reflects the pathological activity of IgE antibodies in vivo. However, in the cytobiological test, fresh peripheral blood and extraction of leukocytes are required, and blood is separately collected at a predetermined time. Meanwhile, the whole detection process is complex, a flow cytometer is needed, the technical requirement on operators is high, and the detection cost is high, so that the detection method is not suitable for being popularized and used as a conventional detection method.
Disclosure of Invention
In view of the above, the present invention provides a new indicator for experimental diagnosis of allergic diseases, specifically, the new indicator is the idiotype heterogeneity intensity of allergen sIgE antibody, and the application of the indicator in a kit.
The heterogeneous intensity can be detected by a liquid phase suspension chip method; the magnitude of heterogeneity is correlated with the ability of the allergen sIgE antibodies to cross-link the allergen, i.e. is positively correlated with the biological activity of the allergen sIgE antibodies. By "idiotypic heterogeneity intensity" is meant the number of types of epitopes in an allergen, single allergen sIgE antibodies in the serum of an allergic patient, that can be recognized.
The detection principle is as follows: the liquid phase suspension chip adopts a plurality of coded magnetic microspheres as a solid phase material to coat streptavidin molecules (MB-SA); the microsphere carries two fluorescein molecules (APC and APC-Cy7), but the fluorescence intensity is different, and the microspheres with different codes can be distinguished by a Flow Cytometer (FCM); because of being coated with streptavidin, the microsphere can be combined with a polypeptide fragment with biotin to prepare a series of microspheres indirectly coated with antigen epitopes. Selecting an allergen (such as lactoglobulin) sIgE antibody as a detection object, synthesizing the defined epitope by an artificial synthesis mode, and labeling an amino terminal or a carboxyl terminal with a biotin molecule (Bio-E) in the artificial synthesis process; different epitopes (epitope, E) (polypeptide fragments) are respectively combined with different coded magnetic microspheres to prepare magnetic microsphere solutions with different epitopes, the solution is used as an R1 reagent, the R1 reagent consists of a group of solutions with different epitopes, and the microspheres are coded differently and expressed as R101, R102, R103, R104 … R148 and R149, and idiotypic epitopes of 49 sIgE antibodies can be detected. The microsphere is specifically composed of magnetic microsphere-streptavidin-biotin-epitope (polypeptide), and is expressed as MB (01-49) -SA-Bio-E (01-49), and microspheres with different codes are mixed at equal concentration. In addition, Phycoerythrin (PE) labeled mouse Anti-human IgE monoclonal antibody (PE-Anti-hIgE) was used as a labeled antibody, and this labeled antibody solution was used as R2 reagent.
A group of MB-SA-Bio-E microsphere solution (R1) is jointly combined with serum to be detected (containing sIgE antibodies in warm bath, sIgE antibodies with different idiotypic epitopes are respectively combined with corresponding peptide segments on the surfaces of the microspheres one by one to form immune complexes, a magnetic separation mode is adopted to remove unconjugated serum protein components, a labeled antibody (PE-Anti-hIgE) solution (R2) is added, the labeled antibody is combined with IgE molecules on the surfaces of the microspheres to finally form a polypeptide antigen-to-be-detected sIgE antibody-labeled antibody complex, a magnetic separation mode is adopted to wash and remove free labeled antibodies, the solution is detected by a flow cytometer, firstly, the coded microspheres are identified and selected through the fluorescence intensity of APC and APC-Cy7, different codes represent different antigen epitope information, secondly, whether each coded microsphere displays the fluorescence intensity of Phycoerythrin (PE) is observed, if the fluorescence intensity is higher than the set threshold value, the sIgE idiotype antibody containing the corresponding antigen epitope in the sample is indicated, and if the fluorescence intensity is not higher than the set threshold value, the sIgE idiotype antibody without the corresponding antigen epitope in the sample is indicated. Finally, the fluorescence of Phycoerythrin (PE) on the surface of the microsphere is calculated, which indicates how many sIgE monoclonal antibodies (idiotypic antibodies) against the allergen are contained in the serum of the patient, and the quantity is the heterogeneity intensity of the sIgE idiotypic antibodies of the patient.
The liquid phase suspension chip detection principle is applied to prepare the allergen detection kit, the kit mainly comprises an R1 solution, an R2 solution and a washing buffer solution, and concretely,
(1) preparation of R1 solution

Mixing the fluorescent microspheres coated with different antigen epitopes and coded differently in equal proportion, and adjusting the concentration of the microspheres to 0.01mg/ml to obtain an R1 solution.

Figure BDA0002199004050000051
finally adding 0.05 percent of Tween-20
The following is a detailed description of the heterogeneity of sIgE idiotype antibodies:
(1) idiotypes of sIgE antibodies
The chemical nature of the antibody is immunoglobulin, and that of allergy-associated IgE antibodies is globulin with its heavy chain epsilon. Immunoglobulins have antigenic specificity and are classified into isotype, allotype, and idiotypic epitopes. The invention relates to an idiotypic epitope, referred to as "idiotypic epitope" for short. Idiotypic epitopes (IDs) refer to the specific amino acid sequences and spatial conformation shown of the variable regions (VH/VL) of an immunoglobulin molecule that determine the type of epitope recognized and bound. That is, the idiotypic epitope is located in the VH/VL region of the antibody and represents the strength of binding to the corresponding epitope. An idiotypic epitope of an antibody molecule refers to the unique antigenic specificity exhibited by VH/VL, which results from the production of an immunoglobulin by a single B cell clone. The magnitude of idiotypic epitope heterogeneity refers to the number of allergen sIgE antibodies contained by an allergic patient against a single epitope, or the number of food allergen-activated B cell clones in vivo. Each B cell clone contains a single antigen receptor (BCR), and the secreted immunoglobulins have the same idiotypic antigen specificity. The idiotype of the sIgE antibody in the invention refers to a specific amino acid sequence and a specific spatial conformation of the immunoglobulin E (IgE) CH/VL, and the idiotype of the antibody and an antigen epitope are in a spatial complementary relationship and are specifically combined with each other. The use of specific epitopes (peptide fragments) is known to allow the detection of the idiotype of the corresponding sIgE antibody.
(2) Heterogeneity of sIgE idiotypes
The specific IgE antibodies are important mediators of allergic reactions, however, the antigen against which any specific IgE antibody is directed can be understood as three layers, antibodies directed against a specific species, such as milk sIgE antibodies, or egg sIgE antibodies, antibodies directed against a specific molecule (protein), such as milk β -LG-sIgE antibodies or egg OVA-sIgE antibodies, antibodies directed against a specific epitope, such as β -LG-sIgE antibodies, or a group of antibodies directed against different epitopes, in fact, the basic unit of antibody recognition antigen is not an intact antigen molecule, but rather is a specific amino acid sequence distributed among antigen molecules, which determines the specificity of the antigen, defined as the epitope (antigeen epitope) but not the same, the complexity of antigen is also the basic unit of B cell recognition and T cell recognition, and is distributed among antigen molecules, a number of distinct amino acid sequences distributed among antigen molecules, which the specific epitope is defined as being an epitope of allergen (allergen) only, as such, as the complexity of antigen is that the basic unit of antibody recognition is not an intact antigen, but is distributed among a number of distinct antigen molecules, thus, the number of distinct single allergen antigen molecules, which is different from the antigen, the number of allergen molecules, which is different from the number of allergen molecules, thus, the antigen is derived from a single allergen, the antigen is derived from the antigen, the antigen is derived from the antigen, the number of allergen, the antigen is derived from the antigen, the antigen is derived from the antigen, the antigen is derived from the antigen, the antigen is derived from the.
(3) Analysis of causes of idiotypic heterogeneity in sIgE
The cause of idiotypic heterogeneity of sIgE antibodies is two major factors, internal and external. In terms of external factors, whether inhalation allergy or ingestion allergy, the protein composition of substances causing allergy is very complex, and most of them are not single proteins. On the protein molecule level, the complex protein structure is complex and often contains a plurality of antigen epitopes. Meanwhile, allergic diseases have geographical features, different environmental ecology and some differences in species. Different dietary habits and cooking characteristics can also lead to the change of antigenicity of food proteins. In terms of internal factors, the basic unit of antigen recognition by immune cells is an antigenic epitope, the antigenic epitope can be recognized by T lymphocytes only by combining with HLA molecules, and HLA complexes have abundant polymorphism and have very obvious individual difference. For food allergy, food is digested and degraded in vivo to induce allergic reaction, and the differences of digestive ability and gastrointestinal probiotic flora of different children patients also cause the occurrence and development of allergic reaction. Based on the above analysis, there was significant variability in the idiotype of sIgE antibodies, both at the protein molecule level and at the epitope level, among different patients allergic to the same substance.
(4) Clinical value for detecting idiotypic heterogeneity of sIgE
It is well known that the clinical symptoms of allergic patients are caused by active mediators released from mast cells or basophils. Histamine has the effect of dilating capillaries, causing a reduction in blood pressure leading to anaphylactic shock, local edema, or asphyxia. Leukotrienes have the effect of promoting smooth muscle contraction, even spasm, resulting in bronchospasm, resulting in asthma attacks, or gastrointestinal pain, vomiting, etc. However, the initiating factor that leads to the activation of degranulation by sensitized cells is allergen-bridged mast cells or basophil surface IgE antibody molecules. The surface of mast cells or basophils has receptors for the Fc fragment (FcR) of IgE antibodies, and IgE has cytotropic properties, and the two combine to cause sensitization of effector cells. Meanwhile, IgE antibodies bind to cell surface receptors, independent of IgE antibody specificity. However, the "bridging antigen" process of cell surface IgE antibodies is closely related to the affinity of IgE antibodies to the epitopes, and the number and nature of epitopes to which IgE antibodies may bind. If the affinity factor is not considered, the more different the idiotypes of the sIgE antibody on the surface of the sensitized cell are, or the stronger the heterogeneity of the idiotype epitope is, the more chance the sIgE antibody is combined with the antigen epitope on the allergen molecule is, the higher the probability of forming an "antigen bridge" is, the easier the sensitized cell is to activate, and the stronger the corresponding degree of releasing the medium from the particles is. For this reason, we believe that the heterogeneity of the idiotypic epitopes of the allergen sIgE antibodies is closely related to the pathological activity of the sIgE antibodies in the patient and to the allergic symptoms or clinical manifestations of the patient. Therefore, the application proposes the idiotype heterogeneity of the sIgE antibody as a novel experimental diagnosis index or an experimental diagnosis method which can reflect the pathological activity of the sIgE antibody and is closely related to the allergic symptoms or clinical manifestations of patients. Furthermore, recent studies have shown that the clinical symptoms of allergic patients are closely related to the number and type of epitopes recognized by the sIgE antibodies in the serum of the patients. These reports also confirm our above comments.
Compared with the prior art, the invention has the following advantages:
the problem of the idiotypic epitope heterogeneity of the allergen sIgE antibody is firstly solved, and the heterogeneity intensity is related to clinical symptoms caused by sIgE mediated sensitization cell activation and biological medium release. The heterogeneity intensity of the idiotypic epitope of the allergen sIgE antibody reflects the pathological activity of the sIgE antibody, is expected to be used as an innovative index for reflecting the clinical symptoms of patients, and can be applied to an anaphylaxis detection kit. Different from the clinical routine allergen sIgE antibody detection, the clinical value of the kit can be equal to that of a peripheral blood Basophil Activation Test (BAT), and the kit has good correlation with the detection result of the peripheral blood BAT.
