Basophil degranulation detection kit, detection method and application thereof
Technical Field
The invention relates to the technical field of anaphylactic reaction detection, in particular to a basophil degranulation detection kit, a detection method and application thereof.
Background
In recent years, with the widespread application of a large amount of synthetic drugs in the process of anesthesia, it has been found in clinic that the serious allergic reaction (Anaphylaxis) induced by anesthetic drugs is increasing year by year. The data show that the perioperative anaphylaxis incidence rate is 1/20000-1/3500, and the incidence rate is reported to be 1/353, so the occurrence rate is not rare. Perioperative allergens are not clear in most patients and they still risk re-allergy when they are re-operated. At present, a standardized diagnosis system for drug-induced severe anaphylactic reaction in the anesthesia process is not available, and systematic research on high-risk factors of the drug-induced severe anaphylactic reaction is lacked at home and abroad. Many anesthesia department doctors have insufficient knowledge of perioperative anaphylaxis, so that diagnosis and treatment are not timely or wrong. Meanwhile, because the detection means of the allergen is limited, most of the allergens can be primarily judged only by virtue of medical history. The willingness of doctors and patients to improve perioperative anaphylaxis diagnosis and treatment is urgent.
An effective method for detecting perioperative severe anaphylactic reaction allergen is found, and the method has great significance for guiding patients to take medicine again for surgery and reducing perioperative risk. The methods for detecting allergens are classified into in vivo methods and in vitro methods. In vivo methods include Skin tests (Skin Test, ST) and challenge tests, and in vitro tests include Histamine (Histamine) and Tryptase (Tryptase) level detection, sIgE detection, and the like. However, no uniform and definite perioperative allergen detection method exists at present.
Because of the risk of inducing severe allergic reactions, perioperative allergens cannot be diagnosed clinically using the gold standard of challenge Test (PT), which is the most commonly used means for allergen detection in clinical settings, mainly including Skin Prick Test (SPT) and intradermal Test (IDT). Since ST can produce false positive results by directly stimulating histamine production by skin mast cells via non-IgE pathways, there is currently some controversy over its effectiveness in detecting allergens. In addition, ST has strict requirements on the concentration of operational and experimental drugs, and has certain risks of pain stimulation and induction of systemic anaphylaxis, which all limit the application of skin tests in perioperative allergen detection.
The in vitro detection means avoids the exposure risk of the patient and reduces other interference factors, thereby being an effective supplement for skin tests. The IgE detection is a well-known reliable method for detecting allergic diseases in vitro, and commonly used detection means comprise a radioactive allergen adsorption Test (RAST) and an immunocAP system and the like. The ImmunoCAP system is the most advanced quantitative detection system for IgE at present, and is a fluorescence enzyme immunoassay (RAST FEIA) developed on the basis of RAST, and the detection principle is that an antigen or an allergen is combined with a specific human antibody IgE on a stationary phase, the antigen in a sample and the antigen on the stationary phase are combined with IgE in a competitive manner, an enzyme-labeled anti-IgE secondary antibody is added into a stationary phase, and finally fluorescence is measured and compared with a standard curve. The ImmunoCAP can accurately and reliably detect the sIgE, and the result has good clinical relevance. ImmunoCAP is commonly used for detecting food and inhalant allergens, has higher diagnostic sensitivity and specificity, but has few related data for detecting perioperative allergen and has not been researched domestically.

Preferably, the washing buffer in step (5) is 300. mu.L.
Preferably, the cell suspension in step (6) is stored under protection from light at 2-8 ℃.
The invention is further explained below:
the principle is as follows: the two types of severe allergic reactions of IgE mediation and non-immune mediation can generate degranulation of basophils, the marker molecule CD63 expressed on the resting basophils is obviously increased, the activation degree of the basophils can be directly reflected, and the method is the optimal observation index of the activation of the basophils. The Basophils Activation Test (BAT) utilizes the principle, after Basophils are stimulated by allergen (antigen or quality control), a flow cytometer is used for observing the increase of the expression of a marker molecule CD63, the specific Activation of the Basophils is detected, and then drugs inducing severe anaphylactic reaction are effectively identified.
Principle explanation of the detection process: the stimulation buffer and allergen are added to EDTA anticoagulated whole blood samples from patients suspected of having allergy/hypersensitivity. The process of allergen-mimetic in vivo reactions, i.e. specific IgE antibodies bind to the cell surface via bridging with the corresponding allergen, activating intracellular signaling cascades leading to the activation of degranulation of basophils. During this degranulation, intracellular complexes affect the expression of the transmembrane protein CD63 on the cell surface and exposure to the extracellular matrix.
After the cell stimulation was complete, staining reagents were added, CCR3 was expressed continuously on eosinophils and basophils, residual red blood cells were removed by lysis, the cells were resuspended in wash buffer and examined by flow cytometry after a brief centrifugation step.
Storage method and expiration date of reagents in the kit:
(1) the unopened kit needs to be stored at 2-8 ℃.
(2) For unsealed or reconstituted reagents: the stimulation buffer solution, the stimulation quality control A and the stimulation quality control B are re-dissolved and then stored at the temperature of minus 20 ℃ for 6 months, and if the stimulation buffer solution, the stimulation quality control A and the stimulation quality control B are required to be used for multiple times, the storage is required to be separately packaged; the dissolving reagent needs to be stored at 2-8 ℃ and is stable for 6 months; the staining reagent and the washing buffer solution need to be stored at 2-8 ℃, and can be stably stored until the validity period marked by the bottle label.
Allergen(s):
protein allergen: where the protein allergen is in a liquid concentrated form for quality control and transport (1 μ L/bottle), the protein allergen needs to be stored refrigerated and diluted before use.
Drugs and chemical allergens: the low molecular weight allergens provided herein are shipped as a lyophilized powder, which requires refrigeration storage and reconstitution prior to use.
If allergens from other sources are used for the detection of the kit, the following conditions need to be met:
(1) non-matrix bound allergen (solid or liquid phase);
(2) it is prepared without cytotoxic compounds (stabilizer, antiseptic), such as glycerol, phenol, sodium azide or thimerosal (thimerosal) allergen.
Collecting and storing samples:
before collecting the sample, the patient should stop taking systemic immunosuppressive drugs such as corticosteroid and disodium cromoglycate for more than 24 hours.
And (3) collecting enough whole blood by using a K-EDTA (ethylene diamine tetraacetic acid) anticoagulation tube, and filling the blood in the blood collection tube as full as possible when a blood sample is collected. When the blood sample fails to fill the blood collection tube (< 50% volume), the EDTA concentration is too high, possibly leading to false negative results.
A1 mL whole blood sample was available for 18 test tubes. Note that the blood samples were not centrifuged or frozen.
The operation is as follows:
(1) water suggested for the test of the present kit: the use of sterile, ultra-pure, pyrogen-free water to reconstitute the cell stimulation buffer is important to obtain good and reproducible basophil stimulation results. The following water is also contemplated: cell culture grade ultrapure water, infusion grade ultrapure water or deionized water or double distilled water filtered through a 10kDa filter.
The lysis reagent may be reconstituted with deionized water, double distilled water, or water of the same grade as used for cell stimulation.
(2) Avoiding allergen contamination during cell stimulation:
inhaled allergens in the laboratory can contaminate open-set patient blood samples and isolated cells, potentially leading to an increase in the detection background. Therefore, care should be taken to cover the tube during blood sample separation and cell stimulation. Cell stimulation should avoid the presence of interfering factors such as fenestrations, dust mites, pollen, rubber gloves and potentially rubber contained by the instrument. Therefore, it is recommended that both the cell preparation and stimulation steps be performed in a sterile operating station.
(3) Tissue culture grade microplates may be used in performing the cell stimulation and labeling reactions.
Flow cytometry: argon ion laser (blue-green exciting light) with 488nm wavelength and matched software. Flow cytometry requires the detection of several indicators: forward angle light scattering (FSC), opposite side angle light scattering (SSC) and two fluorescent dyes FITC, PE.
The invention has the beneficial effects that:
the kit disclosed by the invention is wide in application range, can be used for detecting food and inhalant allergens, can also be used for predicting perioperative anaphylaxis and screening anesthetic suitable for patients, so that severe anaphylactic reaction caused by the patients is effectively avoided; the detection of the allergen by adopting the kit only needs to take a venous blood sample once, so that the pain of a patient is reduced. The kit is used for diagnosing severe anaphylactic reaction induced by muscle relaxant, the sensitivity and specificity of the kit are respectively 89.7% and 93.3%, and the specificity for the severe anaphylactic reaction induced by rocuronium bromide is up to 100%.
