Detailed Description
The principles and features of the present invention are described below with examples given for the purpose of illustration only and are not intended to limit the scope of the invention.
1. Screening and preparation of antibodies
Anti-human tPA antibodies were prepared using full length tissue plasminogen activator (tPA) for immunization of alpaca. The priming was accomplished by emulsifying 250 μg antigen in admixture with 250 μl Freund's complete adjuvant and applying the mixture to an immunized alpaca. Alpaca was boosted once each after 2 weeks and 4 weeks of priming, with 1250 μg antigen and 250 μl of incomplete Freund's adjuvant. After one week of the second and third, blood was collected and assayed for antiserum titers.
The results showed that antigen di-and tri-priming antisera titers were 3.26X10, respectively 6 And 6.37X10 7 . It can be seen that antigen-induced alpaca produced high titres of antisera against the corresponding antigenic peptides.
Peripheral blood after one week of three-phase immunization was taken, peripheral Blood Mononuclear Cells (PBMC) were isolated, RNA was extracted, amplified using universal primers after reverse transcription, and cloned into phagemids, transformed into TG1 strain, and phage libraries were established for screening monoclonal antibodies. After multiple rounds of screening we obtained 7 monoclonal antibodies, atPA1-7, with high specificity and affinity. As shown in FIG. 1, the 7 monoclonal antibodies were found to be at 4X 10 -3 The binding value reaches more than 2 at the concentration of mug/mL. The antibody combinations were further studied and the results are shown in figures 2 and 3, with AtPA3 and AtPA5 forming the antibody pair and with AtPA3 as the capture antibody and AtPA5 as the binding antibody for the double antibody sandwich immunoassay.
The results of analysis of the sequences of AtPA3 and AtPA5 show that the amino acid sequence of AtPA3 is shown as SEQ ID NO. 1, which includes 3 CDR regions, and the amino acid sequences of CDR1-3 are shown as SEQ ID NO. 2-4, respectively. The amino acid sequence of AtPA5 is shown as SEQ ID NO. 5, which comprises 3 CDR regions, and the amino acid sequences of CDR1-3 are shown as SEQ ID NO. 6-8, respectively.
Further studies using the tPA mutant library found that the recognition sites for AtPA1 and 3 were located at the N-terminus of the tPA amino acid sequence, atPA2 and 7 were located in the middle of tPA, and the recognition site for AtPA4-6 was located at the C-terminus of tPA. It is speculated that AtPA3 and AtPA5 are beneficial to pairing for double-antibody sandwich detection because the recognition sites are far apart and the binding of antibodies does not affect each other. Furthermore, according to our experiments, it was shown that when AtPA3 was used as the capture antibody and AtPA5 was used as the binding antibody, the binding value reached 20 or more, which is far higher than other combinations.
2. Preparation and application methods of tPA quantitative detection test strip
the tPA test strip has a structure shown in fig. 4 and 5, and comprises a rectangular bottom plate 1, and a sample pad 2, a colloidal gold bonding pad 3, a nitrocellulose membrane 4 and a water absorption pad 5 which are sequentially overlapped on the bottom plate 1. In a preferred embodiment, the interface between the sample pad 2 and the colloidal gold conjugate pad 3 is increased to improve the sample diffusion efficiency. Due to the interface, the sample pad 2 is above, the colloidal gold binding pad 3 is below, and the diffusion of the sample from the sample pad 2 to the colloidal gold binding pad 3 is facilitated under the action of gravity.
Sample pad 2 was a glass fiber membrane treated with phosphate buffer, which was phosphate buffer containing 1-5% bsa and surfactant.
The colloidal gold conjugate pad 3 is a glass fiber membrane coated with colloidal gold particles labeled with an antibody AtPA5. The colloidal gold binding pad 3 contains colloidal gold particles, and the antibodies AtPA5 are bound on the colloidal gold particles. Samples dropped in sample pad 2 if tPA is present, the tPA diffuses into the colloidal gold conjugate pad 3 and then the colloidal gold particles can be coupled by AtPA5. tPA with colloidal gold particles continues to diffuse toward nitrocellulose membrane 4 and aggregate on nitrocellulose membrane 4.
The method for labeling the AtPA5 antibody by the colloidal gold particles is as follows:
1) Preparing colloidal gold: diluting 1% chloroauric acid solution into 0.01% with double distilled water, boiling, adding trisodium citrate solution, continuously boiling until the liquid is bright red, stopping heating, and supplementing water lost due to boiling to obtain colloidal gold;
2) Adding an AtPA5 antibody into the colloidal gold, uniformly mixing, standing, centrifuging, taking the precipitate, and washing twice to obtain the colloidal gold particles marked with the AtPA5. The colloidal gold particles labeled with AtPA5 were sprayed on a glass fiber film to prepare a colloidal gold conjugate pad 3.
The nitrocellulose membrane 4 is provided with a detection line 411. When the coated antibody AtPA3 is anchored on the detection line 411 and tPA with colloidal gold particles diffuses on the nitrocellulose membrane 4, the tPA with colloidal gold particles is combined with the coated antibody AtPA3 anchored in the detection line 411 and accumulated on the detection line 411 when encountering the detection line 411, and the more the tPA with colloidal gold particles is accumulated on the detection line, the darker the color development.
And a quality control line 412 is further arranged on the nitrocellulose membrane 4, and the quality control line 412 is far away from the colloidal gold bonding pad 3 than the detection line 411. A murine anti-alpaca IgG is anchored to the control line 412. When the colloidal gold particles diffuse to the quality control line 412, they are collected on the quality control line 412. Therefore, during the diffusion process, the colloidal gold particles first encounter the detection line 411, the colloidal gold particles combined with tPA are collected on the detection line 411, the colloidal gold particles not combined with tPA continue to diffuse forward, and when encountering the quality control line 412, the colloidal gold particles are collected on the quality control line 412. Since colloidal gold particles are much more abundant than tPA, the quality control line 412 will develop regardless of whether tPA is present in the sample.
The preparation method of the nitrocellulose membrane 4 is as follows:
1) Blocking the nitrocellulose membrane in blocking solution of 0.01M phosphate buffer (pH 7.0) containing 1% BSA and 0.1% Tween-20 for 60 min;
2) And respectively adding the capture antibody AtPA3 and the mouse anti-alpaca IgG into spot membrane diluent to obtain AtPA3 spot membrane liquid and mouse anti-alpaca IgG antibody spot membrane liquid, and respectively spraying the AtPA3 spot membrane liquid and the mouse anti-alpaca IgG spot membrane liquid on a detection line and a quality control line which are 5mm apart according to the amount of 2 mu L/cm. Here, the spot film dilution was a 0.01M phosphate buffer (pH 7.4) containing 0.15M sodium chloride, 10mM ethylenediamine tetraacetic acid, 1g/L sodium azide and 25g/L methanol. The concentration of the AtPA3 spot membrane solution is 1.25 mug/mL, and the concentration of the murine anti-alpaca IgG spot membrane solution is 1.5 mug/L.
In qualitative detection, the cotton piece was placed in the nasal cavities on both sides of the patient for 5 minutes, after which the cotton piece was taken out and placed in a 5mL EP tube, and 2mL of sterile physiological saline was added thereto and left for 5 minutes. The cotton piece was removed with forceps and placed in a 10mL syringe and the liquid was squeezed into another EP tube. The EP tube was centrifuged at 1500g for 10 minutes, after which the supernatant was transferred to another EP tube for detecting the level of tPA.
Adding 50 μl of nasal secretion supernatant into 50 μl of sample pretreatment solution, stirring, mixing, dripping into sample adding region of sample pad of test strip, and performing chromatography at 20-30deg.C for 5min. And determining whether the sample contains tPA or not by observing the detection line and the quality control line. Namely, when both the detection line and the quality control line develop, tPA is contained in the sample; when the detection line does not develop color, and the quality control line develops color, the sample does not contain tPA.
For quantitative detection, a color value reading system is required to be prepared. And placing the chromatographic reaction test strip under a scanning device of a color value reading system for scanning, and processing and judging the scanned image through the color value reading system to obtain the concentration of tPA.
The foregoing description of the preferred embodiments of the invention is not intended to limit the invention to the precise form disclosed, and any such modifications, equivalents, and alternatives falling within the spirit and scope of the invention are intended to be included within the scope of the invention.
