Description

Preparation technology and detection method of homogeneous digital immunoassay sample under bright field
Technical Field
The application relates to the technical field of immunoassay, in particular to a digital immunoassay technology, and more particularly relates to a preparation technology and a detection method of a homogeneous digital immunoassay sample under a bright field.
Background
The immune analysis utilizes the specific reaction between antigen and antibody to identify the molecule to be detected, and detects the antibody, antigen, immune cell, etc. in serum or other sample to diagnose or determine the existence of biological molecule, so that it has wide application in clinical medicine, life science research, etc. This technique was first proposed by us scientists Yalow and Berson, and in 1977 Yalow was therefore awarded the nobel medical prize. Digital immunoassays are the more rapidly developing immunoassays in the last decade, and the main difference from the conventional immunoassays is the detection mode of signals. The signal detection of the traditional immunoassay method is to quantify the total signal intensity (such as light scattering intensity, light intensity of a specific wave band, etc.) of immune complex formed by immune reaction, and the signal intensity is continuously changed along with the content of the marker, so that the signal can be considered to be a continuous signal or an analog signal, while the digital immunoassay is to count immune complex formed by immune reaction one by one, and finally the obtained signal is a digital signal.
Rissin et al in 2010 proposed a digital ELISA method (Rissin et al, single-molecular enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay detects serum proteins at subfemtomolar concentration, nature Biotechnology,28:595-599,2010) that dispersed immune complexes formed based on ELISA reactions into a 4.5 μm diameter, 3.25 μm deep array of microwells, and then detected "signaled" microwells using a fluorescence microscopy detection device. The Gai et al proposed a digital immunoassay protocol in the open field (Gai et al Nonstochastic protein counting analysis for precision biomarker detection: suppressing poisson noise at ultralow concentration. Analytical Chemistry,92:654-658, 2020) using 4.5 μm polystyrene microspheres (4.5 μm microspheres are clearly distinguishable under open field microscopy) as carriers for detection of antibodies, and after formation of a diabody sandwich immune complex, the polystyrene microspheres were individually counted by open field microscopy by washing, eluting, concentrating, enriching, etc.
The digital immunoassay method needs optical detection equipment (such as the method of Rissin et al) or more complex post-processing steps (such as the scheme of Gai et al) provided with a fluorescence detection module, so that the detection equipment has complex structure, higher cost and longer detection time, and is not beneficial to popularization of an automatic detection instrument.

The capture microspheres and detection microspheres were chosen to be of different diameters and both exceeded 0.2 μm. And directly observing a sample after immune reaction through bright field microscopy equipment, recording a double-sphere compound formed by tightly adhering the capture microspheres and the detection microspheres as a signal value, and recording 0 as the rest of the separately dispersed capture microspheres, the detection microspheres, the compound formed by non-specific combination of the capture microspheres and the capture microspheres, the compound formed by non-specific combination of the detection microspheres and the like.
In another aspect, the present application also provides a method for digitally detecting a homogeneous digital immunoassay sample in the above-mentioned bright field, the method comprising: preparing a plurality of groups of digital immunoassay samples with different marker concentrations, wherein the digital immunoassay samples to be detected have unknown marker concentrations; transferring the sample to a detection area of microscopic equipment, scanning and imaging the sample in a bright field after the microspheres are precipitated to the bottom of the detection area, and storing picture data; recording the accumulated signal values of all the 'capture microsphere n-detection microsphere m' complexes in the picture data of each sample; establishing a standard curve according to the marker concentration and the recorded signal value; and determining the marker concentration according to the signal value of the digital immunoassay sample to be detected.
The capture microsphere and the detection microsphere can distinguish differences under microscopic equipment due to different diameters. n=0, i.e. the detection microsphere not bound to the capture microsphere, a single detection microsphere or a plurality of detection microspheres bound together by non-specificity are observed in the microscopy device; m=0, i.e., capture microspheres that are not bound to the detection microsphere, a single capture microsphere or a plurality of capture microspheres that are non-specifically bound together are observed in the microscopy device; none of the above is a target signal, and no counting is required. In the complex 'capture microsphere n-detection microsphere m' which needs to be counted, n is an integer more than or equal to 1, and m is also an integer more than or equal to 1.

Since the number of detection antibodies coated on the surface of the detection microsphere is not less than 1, 1 detection microsphere may be combined with more than 1 marker (the number of the markers is n, n is not less than 1), and the marker is further combined with the capture microsphere to form a complex of the capture microsphere n-detection microsphere, and the complex count is n.
And (3) observing and counting the number of the complex 'capture microsphere n-detection microsphere m' which needs to be counted in the single digital immunoassay sample, and summing the number of the complex 'capture microsphere n-detection microsphere m' which needs to be counted, so as to obtain a signal value of the sample, and S.
It should be noted that, due to the reaction kinetics between molecules, the reaction efficiency of the active groups is less than 100%, and the dead volume effect of transferring the sample to the detection area, etc., may result in a certain degree of loss of molecules and/or microspheres, and a standard curve needs to be established for calibration.
Advantages of the present application over conventional methods include, but are not limited to:
(1) The preparation of the homogeneous digital immunoassay sample reduces the dead volume effect caused by liquid transfer, and avoids the negative effects of molecular loss, microsphere loss and the like to a certain extent.
(2) According to the application, the target signal and the interfering substance are distinguished through the diameter of the microsphere, a separation step is not needed, the nonmagnetic microsphere can be used for capturing the microsphere and detecting the microsphere, the cost of the nonmagnetic microsphere made of polymer materials is lower, the density is low, and the immune complex can be formed by fully mixing and incubating.
(3) The application directly detects the signal of the digital immunoassay sample in the open field, the light path of the required microscopic equipment is simple, and a fluorescence detection module is not required to be added.
(4) The homogeneous digital immunoassay sample can be prepared by a one-step method (capturing microsphere and preparing immune microsphere in advance), so that the automatic process is simplified, the volume and cost of an automatic instrument are reduced, and the popularization is facilitated.
