The chemiluminescent immunoassay (chemiluminescence immunoassay, CLIA) is an emerging immunoassay technology after an enzyme-linked immunoassay (EIA), a Radioimmunoassay (RIA), a Fluorescent Immunoassay (FIA) and a time-resolved fluoroimmunoassay (TRFIA), has the advantages of high sensitivity, high specificity, low reagent price, stable reagent, high detection speed, simple operation, high automation degree and the like, and is the most rapid immunoassay method developed, popularized and applied at present. In practical application of in vitro diagnostic reagent products, magnetic particles or acridinium ester are used as a solid phase end and a labeling end of a reagent to participate in a detection process of a target antibody in a sample to be detected after being coupled with the antibody, and stable preservation of the magnetic particles or the acridinium ester antigen-antibody conjugate is a very important problem, and instability of the magnetic particles or the acridinium ester antigen-antibody conjugate can greatly influence the performance (specificity and sensitivity) of the reagent, and a plurality of factors influencing the stability of the reagent, including external conditions (such as temperature and illumination) and a buffer system of a preservation solution, pH, type and concentration of protein, ionic strength, type of saccharide and surfactant and the like. Under extreme conditions (37 ℃) or during long-term storage, antibodies in the working solution are easy to denature, degrade and aggregate due to hydrophobic effect, so that the spatial stability is reduced, dimers or multimers are generated, even aggregation and precipitation are even caused, the stability of the reagent is reduced, and the requirement of long-term stable storage of the reagent in the market cannot be met.
Currently, BSA (bovine serum albumin) and casein are the main components of protein stabilizers in common dilutions of chemiluminescent reagents, but due to their sources and manufacturing processes, the BSA and casein often contain impurities and are prone to batch-to-batch differences, proteases contained in the BSA may promote degradation of antibodies in the dilutions, and animal-derived IgG contained in the BSA and casein may cause non-specific adsorption of the reagents, resulting in high background or false positive signals. Therefore, it is important to develop a diluent which has a better protecting effect on magnetic particles or acridinium ester antigen-antibody conjugate, can be stored for a long period of time, does not affect other properties such as reagent sensitivity, specificity and repeatability, and has wide applicability.
