Chemiluminescent analysis is a method of detection using light waves emitted by chemiluminescent substances. Chemiluminescent substances are used as labels in nucleic acid detection and immunodetection.

The microsphere composition can react with the analyte (the other molecule in the specific binding pair) in the sample, partition into a solid phase and a liquid phase, and the partition ratio is related to the amount of the analyte. The corresponding concentration of the detection object in the sample can be obtained by measuring the luminescence amount in the solid phase or the liquid phase.

Unless defined otherwise, all terms used herein have the same meaning as commonly understood by one of ordinary skill in the art to which this invention pertains. Although any methods and materials similar or equivalent to those described herein can also be used in the practice or testing of the present invention, the preferred methods and materials are now described.
I terminology
The term "active oxygen" as used herein refers to a substance which is composed of oxygen in the body or in the natural environment, contains oxygen and is active in nature, and is mainly an excited oxygen molecule, including an electron reduction product of oxygen, superoxide anion (O 2 Hydrogen peroxide (H), a two-electron reduction product 2 O 2 ) Hydroxyl radical (OH) of three-electron reduction product, nitric oxide and singlet oxygen (1O) 2 ) Etc.
In the present invention, the term "receptor microsphere" refers to a nanoparticle capable of reacting with active oxygen to produce a detectable chemiluminescent signal, which may also be referred to as an oxygen-receiving microsphere or a luminescent microsphere. Preferably, the acceptor microsphere may be a polymer particle filled with a light emitting composition including a chemiluminescent compound capable of reacting with active oxygen formed by filling a functional group in a matrix. In some embodiments of the invention, the chemiluminescent compound undergoes a chemical reaction with reactive oxygen species to form an unstable metastable intermediate that may decompose with or subsequent to luminescence. Typical examples of such substances include, but are not limited to: enol ethers, enamines, 9-alkylidene xanthan gums, 9-alkylidene-N-alkyl acridines, aryl ether olefins, bisoxyethylene, dimethylthiophene, aryl imidazoles or gloss concentrates.
In the present invention, the "chemiluminescent compound", a compound known as a label, may undergo a chemical reaction to cause luminescence, such as by being converted to another compound formed in an electronically excited state. The excited state may be a singlet state or a triplet excited state. The excited state may relax to the ground state to emit light directly or by transferring excitation energy to an emission energy acceptor, thereby restoring itself to the ground state. In this process, the energy acceptor microsphere will be transitioned to an excited state to emit light.
The chemiluminescent compound may be bound to a specific binding partner member that is capable of directly or indirectly binding to a test molecule or test component whose concentration is affected by the presence of the test molecule. By "capable of binding directly or indirectly" is meant that the specified entity is capable of specifically binding to the entity (directly), or that the specified entity is capable of specifically binding to a specific binding pair member, or a complex having two or more specific binding partners capable of binding to other entities (indirectly).
The "specific binding pair member" of the invention is selected from (1) a small molecule and a binding partner for the small molecule, and (2) a large molecule and a binding partner for the large molecule
In the present invention, the active oxygen may be provided by "donor microspheres", which are nano-microspheres capable of generating active oxygen in an excited state. Preferably, the donor microsphere may be polymer particles filled with a photosensitive compound formed by coating a functional group on a substrate, and the photosensitive microsphere may be also called an oxygen supply microsphere or a photosensitive microsphere when the donor microsphere is capable of generating singlet oxygen under light excitation. The surface of the donor microsphere can be provided with hydrophilic aldehyde dextran, and the inside of the donor microsphere is filled with a photosensitizer. The photosensitizers may be photosensitizers known in the art, preferably compounds that are relatively light stable and do not effectively react with singlet oxygen, non-limiting examples of which include methylene blue, rose bengal, porphyrin, and phthalocyanine compounds, and derivatives of these compounds having 1-50 atom substituents that are used to render these compounds more lipophilic or hydrophilic, and/or as linking groups to specific binding pair members. The donor microspheres may also be filled with other sensitizers, non-limiting examples of which are certain compounds that catalyze the conversion of hydrogen peroxide to singlet oxygen and water. Examples of other donors include: 1, 4-dicarboxyethyl-1, 4-naphthalene endoperoxide, 9, 10-diphenylanthracene-9, 10-endoperoxide, and the like, and heating these compounds or direct absorption of light by these compounds may release active oxygen, such as singlet oxygen.

The matrix may be latex particles or other particles containing organic or inorganic polymers, lipid bilayers such as liposomes, phospholipid vesicles, oil droplets, silica particles, metal sols, cells and microcrystalline dyes. The matrix is generally multifunctional or capable of binding to a donor or acceptor by specific or non-specific covalent or non-covalent interactions. Many functional groups are available or incorporated. Typical functional groups include carboxylic acid, acetaldehyde, amino, cyano, vinyl, hydroxyl, mercapto, and the like. One non-limiting example of a matrix suitable for use in the present invention is an aldehyde-based polystyrene latex microsphere.
The photosensitizer and/or chemiluminescent compound may be selected to be dissolved in, or non-covalently bound to, the surface of the particle. In this case, the compounds are preferably hydrophobic to reduce their ability to dissociate from the particles, thereby allowing both compounds to bind to the same particles.
The term "particle size" as used herein refers to the average particle size of the luminescent microspheres as determined by conventional particle sizers. The "receptor microsphere" comprises at least a matrix, a luminescent composition and bioactive molecules, and preferably also comprises a coating layer; the luminescent composition may be filled in the matrix and/or coated on the surface of the matrix. When the receptor microsphere does not include a coating, the bioactive substance is directly attached to the surface of the matrix. When the receptor microsphere comprises a coating layer, the coating layer is coated on the surface of a substrate, and the outermost layer of the coating layer is connected with a bioactive substance.
It is noted that the term "average particle size of the receptor microsphere" as used herein refers to the average particle size of the receptor microsphere after being attached and/or coated with the corresponding substance.
