Description

Micro-fluidic biochip for rapidly detecting SARS-CoV-2 antigen and IgG/IgM antibody
Technical Field
The invention relates to a micro-fluidic biochip for rapidly detecting SARS-CoV-2 antigen and IgG/IgM antibody, belonging to the field of biotechnology.
Background
COVID-19 still poses serious threat to global health at present, the current commonly used method for diagnosing SARS-CoV-2 infection is to detect the virus RNA in a nasal swab sample by RT-PCR, the method is simple and reliable, but the sample collection process needs operation details, takes more than hours, and can not track the immune response of virus infection.
Recent studies on SARS-CoV-2 have shown that SARS-specific antibodies 8-9, such as IgG, IgM and IgA, appear in the serum after viral infection. Research shows that the dynamic levels of neutralizing antibodies of different populations at different time points show different clinical characteristics, antibodies (IgG and IgM) appear from day 4 after COVID-19 infection, and the seropositive rate reaches 100.0% within 20 days after 16 outbreaks and still reaches 100.0% within 41-53 days. Antibody levels in patients over the age of 31 are higher than in patients 16-30 years of age, while female patients tend to produce more IgG antibody in early disease and in severe disease than male patients, and female patients tend to have higher average IgG antibody levels than male patients. Therefore, the virus-specific antibody in the serum can be used as an effective diagnostic biomarker for screening virus infection and evaluating adaptive immune response of patients after discharge and injection of vaccines. In addition, the viral antigens (spike (S) protein 18-20 and nucleocapsid (N) protein 21-23) in circulating blood can also be used for prognostic studies of COVID-19-associated viremia.
The existing detection methods of SARS-CoV-2 specific antibody and virus antigen mainly include electronic transistor biosensor method, gold nanoparticle lateral flow method and enzyme linked immunosorbent method. The electronic transistor biosensor has higher sensitivity in SARS-CoV-2 antigen protein detection, but the practical application is limited by very complicated manufacturing process; the gold nanoparticle lateral flow method is used for rapidly detecting SARS-CoV-2IgG/IgM antibody, but has limited sensitivity and can carry out quantitative detection; enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) can provide quantitative detection, but the operation process is complex and the detection time is long.

SARS-CoV-2 is a novel particle consisting of antigenic proteins (surface spinous process (S), membrane (M) and nucleocapsid (N) proteins) and RNA viral genome, which invades human by interaction of S protein with human cells and replicates itself in human cells by RNA viral genome, as shown in a in fig. 1. Once infected with SARS-CoV-2, the adaptive immune system will produce SARS-CoV-2 antibodies (IgG/IgM) to prevent invasion of SARS-CoV-2. The schematic diagram of the designed microfluidic biochip for detecting SARS-CoV-2 antigen protein and IgG/IgM antibody is shown in b in FIG. 1, and has the capability of detecting 60 samples simultaneously, a small sample volume of 2 μ L, a detection time of less than 10 minutes, and a lower detection limit of about 0.3 pg/ml.
For SARS-CoV-2 antigen detection, the target antigen is bracketed by the capture and detection antibodies, as shown in c in FIG. 1. To perform the anti-SARS-CoV-2 IgG/IgM detection, a specific antigen is micro-imprinted on a functionalized substrate, the target antibody is first captured, a fluorescently labeled goat anti-human secondary antibody IgG and IgM is used to specifically bind to IgG/IgM, and a fluorescent signal is given as indicated by d in FIG. 1.
Secondly, detecting the manufacturing condition of the microfluidic biochip
To confirm successful engagement at each step of the fabrication and detection process, AFM and raman (fig. 4) characterization was performed on the microfluidic biochips. FIG. 4 (a) is an AFM image of a slide glass, FIG. 4 (b) is an AFM image of a GOQDs assembled glass, (c) is an AFM image of a capture antibody immobilized on a GOQDs substrate, and FIG. 4 (d) is an AFM image of an antigen captured by an antibody immobilized on a GOQDs substrate. FIG. 4 (e) to FIG. 4 (h) are the corresponding Raman spectra detected from the slide glass, the assembled glass of GOQDs, the capture antibody immobilized on the substrate of GOQDs, and the antigen captured by the antibody immobilized on the substrate of GOQDs, respectively.
The glass substrate has a relatively small roughness, which is reduced even by the deposition of the molecular thin GOQDs layer, as shown in fig. 4 (a) and 4 (b). But after immobilizing the capture antibody and the antigen, it becomes rougher as shown in (c) in fig. 4 and (d) in fig. 4. In order to confirm successful bonding at each step, raman spectroscopy was performed on these substrates as shown in fig. 4 (e) to fig. 4 (h). It exhibited representative peaks at 576 and 1092cm-1 on bare slides, and peaks at 1400 and 1641cm-1 after immobilization of GOQDs. Raman peaks at 1400 and 1641cm-1 indicate successful assembly of GOQDs on slides. Finally, after immobilization of the capture antibody, representative peaks of the capture antibody appeared in the Raman spectrum at 1096cm-1 and 1407cm-1, indicating successful immobilization of the capture antibody. Representative peaks of antigen at 1196 and 1513cm-1 indicate successful capture of antigen
The result shows that the microfluidic biochip for detecting SARS-CoV-2 igg/IgM/antigen is successfully prepared and the working sensing mechanism is established.
EXAMPLE 2 microfluidic biochip detection of SARS-CoV-2 igg/IgM/antigen
The target antibody/antigen sample is introduced into the microcavity of the microfluidic biochip. And after incubation for 3-20 min at room temperature, stripping an accurate quantitative sample detection PDMS layer from the microfluidic biochip interval coding substrate in 1% BSA, and flushing the substrate with 1% BSA. For antigen detection, 300. mu.L of fluorescent conjugated detection antibody complex (concentration 10. mu.g/ml) was loaded onto the substrate and dispersed throughout the substrate area. The reaction time of the detection antibody and the antigen is 2-20 min. The antibody detection adopts 300 mu L of fluorescence labeled goat anti-human IgG secondary antibody with the concentration of 10 mu g/ml, and the goat anti-human IgG secondary antibody is incubated for 2 to 20 minutes at room temperature. Finally, the substrate with the barcode array for detection of fluorescent signals was washed with 1% BSA, 1 XPBS, 0.5 XPBS and deionized water, and then span dried. The target antibody/antigen concentration was analyzed by scanning the substrate with the detectable fluorescent signal using GenePix-4400. A schematic detection process of SARS-CoV-2 IgM/IgG/antigen on a biosensor chip is shown in FIG. 5.
Example 3 specificity and sensitivity and detection
2. mu.L of different concentrations (1-10)5pg/ml) of recombinant S antigen and N antigen are loaded into a microfluidic biochip, and then a fluorescently labeled detection antibody is added to bind to the captured target antigen. As shown in fig. 6 (a), both S antigen and N antigen detection showed good specificity. The dependence of fluorescence intensity on the concentration of the target antigen, and their fitting equation are given in (b) and (c) of fig. 6, which indicates that the S antigen and the N antigen have similar binding affinity. The result shows that the micro-fluidic chip has wide detection range for SARS-CoV-2s antigen and N antigen, good specificity and high hypersensitivityUp to 0.3 pg/ml.
Human S-IgM, S-IgG, N-IgM and N-IgG were loaded in each sample chamber at concentrations between 1-105pg/ml, respectively, and the complete capture antigen array was placed on the microfluidic biochip to perform its specificity and sensitivity. In fact, the S antigen is used to capture S-IgM and S-IgG and the N antigen is used to capture N-IgM and N-IgG, but their signals are separated by fluorescently labeled secondary IgM and IgG. Fig. 6 (d) shows that they both specifically react with the corresponding capture antigen and secondary antibody, because the paired capture antigen-antibody exhibits a higher fluorescence signal than the unmatched capture antigen-antibody. The dependence of fluorescence intensity on antibody concentration is shown in fig. 6 (e) - (h), and further analysis shows that for all four antibodies, the fluorescence intensity has a similar linear relationship on a logarithmic scale with the target antibody concentration. The detection limits for two target antigens and four target antibodies were calculated according to the representative equation LOD ═ 3S _ b 1/S29, 30 and are listed in table 1, with detection limits for S antigen, N antigen, S-IgM, S-IgG, N-IgM, and N-IgG of 0.23pg/mL, 0.35pg/mL, 0.21pg/mL, 0.32pg/mL, 0.31pg/mL, and 0.29pg/mL, respectively. The result shows that the developed microfluidic biochip has good specificity and sensitivity to SARS-CoV-2 antibody/antigen detection.

EXAMPLE 4 SARS-CoV-2 antibody/antigen detection Limit and detection time
The time of SARS-CoV-2 antibody/antigen detection is an important factor affecting influenza pandemic outbreaks. At the same time, a critical detection limit is required to distinguish between healthy and infected patients. To determine the effective detection time of SARS-CoV-2 antibody/antigen, we have similar specificity and sensitivity to the developed microfluidic biochip and similar specificity and sensitivity to the SARS-CoV-2 antibody/antigen detection, so we performed S antigen, S-IgG and S-IgM detections at different detection times. The results of fluorescence intensity detected in serum at 5 to 500ng/mL S antigen, S-IgG and S-IgM samples over 5min, 10min, 20min and 40min are shown in fig. 8, which is used to determine the limit of detection according to the representative formula LOD ═ 3S U b 1/S29, 30. The detection limits of S antigen and S-IgG/IgM increased from-0.3 pg/ml to-4 ng/ml, and the detection time decreased from 40min to 5min, as shown in FIGS. 7 (a) - (c), which is caused by partial reaction of SARS-CoV-2 antibody/antigen with the substrate and the fluorescently labeled detection antibody. In order to further verify the shortest effective detection time and reasonable sensitivity, the relatively low concentrations of S antigen, S-IgG and S-IgM samples are selected to be 5ng/ml, and the detection is carried out by using a microfluidic biochip of 5-40 min. The results (d) - (f) in FIG. 7 show that SARS-CoV-2 antibody/antigen 5ng/ml can be identified quantitatively within 5min and quantitatively within 10-40 min.
Example 5 reproducibility of microfluidic biochips
The same sample of SARS-CoV-2 antibody/antigen (100ng/ml) in 1% BSA was subjected to 5 replicates and the fluorescence intensity of the sample detected was shown in SI FIG. 12. The detected concentration variation was small and the Relative Standard Deviation (RSD) of all six biomarkers was less than 3%, as shown in (a) - (f) of fig. 11, indicating that the proposed SARS-CoV-2 antibody/antigen detection microfluidic biochip has good reproducibility.
Example 6
In practical applications, all biomarkers are mixed with large amounts of biological substances in serum or other body fluids, and high performance detection platforms with good specifications and sensitivity are required. It is necessary to test the platform with a mix of target samples before performing the serum sample analysis. First, the S antigen protein and the N antigen protein were mixed into 1% BSA or healthy serum to form 3 samples of different concentrations, and 4 kinds of target IgG/IgM antibodies were mixed into 1% BSA or healthy serum to form 3 samples, as shown in table 2.
TABLE 2 Mixed concentration of recombinant SARS-CoV-2 antigen/antibody in each sample
Figure BDA0003120051420000081
The quantitative fluorescence analysis of the target antigen was measured, as shown in FIGS. 13(a) - (c). The fluorometric assay of target antibodies in pooled BSA and healthy serum is shown in FIGS. 13(d) - (f). The test concentrations obtained from the relational expression in FIG. 6 are shown in FIGS. 13(g) to (l), and the recovery rates were 90.36% to 109.98%. Furthermore, the biomarker concentrations detected in the spiked 1% BSA were consistent with the biomarker concentrations in the spiked healthy sera and showed a slight deviation of less than 5%, as shown in fig. 14. These results provide the basis for the practical application of microfluidic biochips.
Example 7
To demonstrate the high throughput and statistical sensitivity of microfluidic biochips, we performed multiple assays for different concentrations of SARS-CoV-2 antigen/antibody. SARS-CoV-2S antigen, S-IgG and S-IgM were detected in a sample volume of 2. mu.L for 5 min. A total of 60 samples of each antigen/antibody were tested on each biochip, 12 negative controls (0ng/mL) and 16 positive mock samples, three different concentrations of 5, 50 and 100ng/mL, respectively.
FIG. 15 shows the relationship between the fluorescence intensity and the concentration of SARS-CoV-2S antigen, S-IgG and S-IgM (a) S antigen, (b) S-IgG, and (c) S-IgM). (d) -f-statistical comparison between negative and positive samples. p <0.05, the difference between the two groups was statistically significant. The results of the experiments are shown in FIGS. 15(a) - (c), which show clear fluorescence signals from different samples, consistent with the concentrations of the prepared mock samples. The quantitative fluorescence intensities of S antigen, S-IgG and S-IgM are shown in FIGS. 16 to 18, respectively. FIGS. 15(d) - (f) show statistical analysis of the detected fluorescence intensities. The negative control and the positive simulation sample have obvious difference, and the positive control group of the t test has obvious difference compared with the positive control group (p < 0.0001). The simulated S antigen, the S-IgG and the S-IgM are in the range of 0.001-100 ng/mL, and the recovery rate is 90.36-109.98%. Therefore, the developed microfluidic biochip provides a new high-throughput and rapid simultaneous detection and analysis method for the detection and analysis of SARS-CoV-2 antigen/antibody.
Example 8 comparison with commercial enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA)
1. ELISA detection of SARS-CoV-2 igg/IgM/antigen.
SARS-CoV-2 antibody or antigen was immobilized on each well of the ELISA plate. Then 100 μ L of target antigen/antibody sample was introduced into each well of the ELISA plate. After incubation at room temperature for 2 hours, samples were removed from each well and the substrate was rinsed 5 times with 1% BSA. Then 100 μ L of the corresponding enzyme-linked antibody/antigen was added to bind to the antigen/antibody attached to the solid support. After 2 hours of incubation, the corresponding enzyme-linked antibody/antigen was removed from each well and the substrate was washed 5 times with 1% BSA. Finally, a substrate solution is added, catalytically causing a color change, which can be measured. (ELISA comparison was chosen because this method is also the method of using protein biomarker analysis.)
2. Micro-fluidic biochip for detecting SARS-CoV-2 igg/IgM/antigen
Detection was carried out as in example 2.
3. Results
ELISA detection procedure for SARS-CoV-2S antigen and S-IgG is shown in FIG. 19, which takes about 4.5 hours. As shown in FIG. 20, the results of ELISA detection of SARS-CoV-2S antigen and S-IgG are shown, and a calibration curve and a negative control line were generated using SARS-CoV-2S antigen and S-IgG (S antigen in FIG. 20 (a) and S-IgG in FIG. 20 (b)). Error bars are generated by repeated measurements. Chemiluminescent signals from 96-well plates were used to detect various concentrations of analyte (S-antigen in c and S-IgG in d)).
The ELISA detection limits for healthy serum and 1% BSA samples were 1ng/ml, with a linear range of 1-100 ng/ml. In the ELISA detection range, the comparison of the detection results of our biochip and the commercial ELISA is shown in FIG. 21, the specific analysis data is shown in Table 3, and the recovery rate is 97.19-103.01%.

Comparisons were made for the different detection methods and are summarized in table 4. Most detection modes detect a single biomarker, the detection range is narrow, the detection limit is high, and the qualitative detection time is longer than 15 min. The provided microfluidic biochip platform has a relatively large detection range of 5 orders of magnitude, can simultaneously detect 4 or more (at most 20 in the design of the biochip of the invention) biomarkers, each sample is 2 muL, the high flux (60 samples per biochip), the qualitative detection is less than 10min, the quantitative detection is less than 40min, the ultra-low detection limit is about 0.3pg/mL, and the detection cost, the time consumption and the propagation probability of SARS-CoV-2 antigen/antibody are fundamentally reduced. Therefore, compared with the reported SARS-CoV-2 antigen/antibody detection method, the proposed microfluidic biochip strategy is more suitable for the current SARS-CoV-2 pandemic needs.
The invention develops a microfluidic immunoassay method, which can simultaneously carry out rapid (less than 10 minutes), high-flux (60 samples per chip), reliable and ultrasensitive detection on various SARS-CoV-2 antigens and antibodies. The platform integrates the advantages of nano materials, combines high-density biomolecules with microfluid, and realizes a high-efficiency, low-volume and high-integration biosensing platform. The micro-fluidic biochip not only has great potential value for rapidly screening SARS-CoV-2 infection, but also provides a valuable tool for effective vaccine screening after vaccination.
