Description

Cell stain and application thereof in virus TCID50 determination
Technical Field
The invention belongs to the technical field of cell staining, and particularly relates to a cell stain and application thereof in virus TCID50 determination.
Background
Virus removal/inactivation verification the viral removal/inactivation capacity of a process step is generally assessed by adding an indicator of the virus. The virus titer (VIRAL TITER) refers to the content of a live virus or a functional virus in a unit volume, and is closely related to the pathogenic capacity of the virus, so that accurate measurement of the titer of a specific virus is important for prevention, control and elimination of virus infection, and is one of the necessary detection procedures for quantitatively amplifying and indicating the virus. Viral titers are typically expressed as tissue half-infectious end-point titration TCID50 (50% tissue culture infective dose), i.e., the minimum amount of virus required to cause half-cytopathic effects (cytopathic effect, CPE) in cell culture plate wells or tubes over a specified period of time. Currently, methods for detecting virus titer are plaque method (Virus plaque formation), real-time fluorescent quantitative PCR method (Quantitative Real-time PCR, qPCR), immunocytochemistry method (Immunocytochemistry, ICC), enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (Enzyme-Linked ImmunoSorbent Assay, ELISA), transmission electron microscopy (Transmission electron microscopes, TEM), high-performance liquid chromatography (High-performance liquid chromatography, HPLC), etc. However, the TCID50 method is still the most commonly used method, and has advantages of lower cost, fewer steps, simpler calculation and the like compared with other methods, but also has some defects, such as visual fatigue possibly generated when the cells under the optical microscope are observed with naked eyes for a long time, so as to generate subjective observation errors; in addition, it is clear that the transparent indicator cell itself is highly required for optical microscope imaging in terms of its morphology and relationship with surrounding cells.
In this regard, patent CN201611194249.6 changes Cytopathy (CPE), originally observed by naked eye through an optical microscope, into a binding with anti-porcine parvovirus antibody based on the conventional TCID50, and the color development is catalyzed by horseradish peroxidase and the absorbance value is detected. But adds a great deal of unnecessary procedures, reagent purchasing and preserving costs in the process; in addition, since antibodies have specificity, the method has limited virus types which can be detected, has poor universality, and when other types of viruses are detected, the antibodies need to be prepared again, thereby further increasing the cost. The patent CN202111244738.9 combines crystal violet staining with TCID50 and stains cells with crystal violet prior to viewing the cells, thereby darkening the cells and making it easier to observe the results than traditional TCID 50. However, the method has the defects that the experiment result is inaccurate due to the fact that the dyeing degree of crystal violet is deeper and cell falling in holes is easy to occur in the processes of cell fixation and cleaning of the dyeing liquid. Patent cn201610522012.X combines TCID50 with trypan blue staining method, and in theory trypan blue only can enter dead cells but not stain living cells, but in actual operation process, pigment deposition can be generated on the periphery of living cells when the cell density is too high, and sensitive cells cultured by TCID50 method just contact each other, finally resulting in too deep background color, inconvenient observation and difficult distinction of living cells from dead cells. In addition, CPE is not apparent at very early and early stages of virus infection, and does not cause cell death, and trypan blue cannot enter cells for color development, so that the efficacy of viruses is underestimated, systematic errors are caused, and even virus infection accidents occur.
Therefore, in order to reduce the difficulty of cytopathic observation and improve the accuracy of the measurement result of the virus TCID50, it is still necessary to develop a staining method and a matched cell stain suitable for the indicator cells in the measurement of the virus TCID 50.

Detailed Description
When the virus TCID50 method is used for measuring the virus titer, a inspector is required to inspect and observe the condition of the indicated cytopathy, when transparent cells are observed, visual fatigue is easy to generate, systematic errors are caused, and the dependency on the working experience of technicians is high. Although the observation difficulty can be reduced by staining the indicator cells, in the experiment, it is found that the judgment of cytopathy is affected by too deep staining or that cytopathy cannot be clearly distinguished due to cell lysis or that the number of cells is lost due to cell fixation, plate washing and other operations, and the like, which all result in inaccurate detection results of the virus TCID 50. In order to solve these problems, the inventors have conducted a great deal of research and experiments on the selection, improvement and staining method of a stain in combination with the requirements of the detection of the virus TCID50, thereby proposing a cell stain which has a good staining effect on the adherent indicator cells in the measurement of the virus TCID50 and can improve the accuracy of the detection result of the virus TCID50, and a method for measuring the virus TCID50 in combination with the staining method of the stain.

According to the invention, the formula and the preparation method of the existing Switzerland giemsa dye liquor are adjusted and optimized, the obtained cell stain has good staining effect on the adherent indication cells in the virus TCID50 measurement, a large number of cells are not cracked, and meanwhile, the cell fixation is not needed during staining, so that the risk of cell shedding can be avoided, and the accuracy of the measurement result of the virus TCID50 is improved.
Further, the method for measuring the TCID50 of a virus indicating cell staining by using the cell stain of the present invention comprises the steps of:

1. MVM virus infection A9 cells: a9 cells were seeded in 96-well cell culture plates at a number of 1×10 4 cells per well and cultured for 24h using DMEM complete broth. The MVM virus stock was serially diluted 10-fold in gradient from 10 -1 to 10 -8 using DMEM complete medium. The medium in the cell culture wells of the 96-well cell culture plate was blotted to obtain plated A9 cells, and then MVM virus dilutions of different dilutions were added to the plated A9 cells, respectively, while negative controls were set to the plated A9 cells to which DMEM complete culture solution without MVM virus was added, each treatment being set to 6 replicates. Culturing was continued for 7 days, and DMEM complete medium was changed once from day 4.
2. Indicator cell A9 cell staining:
After the MVM virus infects A9 cells and negative control cells and cultures for 7 days, the culture medium in the cell culture hole is removed, self-made cell coloring agent is added to fully cover the bottom of the cell culture hole, the cell culture hole is stained for 10min at room temperature, a 96-well plate is washed by sterile water, the morphology of the A9 cells is observed under an optical microscope after the cell culture hole is dried in a fume hood, the cell culture hole with Cytopathy (CPE) is recorded, and the virus titer is calculated.
The preparation method of the cell stain used in this example is:
(1) Weighing 5g of Rui's pigment, 0.5g of Giemsa's pigment, 0.5g of methylene blue, 11g of anhydrous calcium chloride, 5g of anhydrous potassium dihydrogen phosphate, 0.5g of anhydrous disodium hydrogen phosphate, 25mL of Tween-20, 25mL of dimethyl sulfoxide, 50mL of glycerol and 800mL of methanol;
(2) Putting the Rui pigment, the Jim Sapigment, the methylene blue, the anhydrous calcium chloride, the anhydrous potassium dihydrogen phosphate and the anhydrous disodium hydrogen phosphate into a mortar, lightly tapping the mortar with a milk stick, grinding the mortar into fine powder, and sieving the powder with a 100-mesh sieve;

The microscopic examination results of the embodiment show that the cytoplasm and the cell nucleus structure (fig. 1-3) can be clearly observed under the condition of no virus and virus infection with different dilution factors, so that cytopathy after virus infection can be conveniently confirmed, and the virus titer of the MVM virus stock solution can be calculated according to the microscopic examination results.
Comparative example 1
This comparative example provides a crystal violet staining method for indicator cell A9 cells in MVM virus titer TCID50 assay, specifically as follows:
1. MVM virus infection A9 cells: as in example 1.
2. Indicator cell A9 cell staining: after the MVM virus infects the A9 cells and the negative control cells to culture for 7 days, removing the culture medium in the cell culture holes, adding methanol to fully cover the bottoms of the cell holes, and fixing the cells for 15min; sucking the methanol by using a pipette, and drying at room temperature for 10min to volatilize the methanol; adding crystal violet dye solution which is diluted to 2% of working concentration by PBS in advance, fully covering the bottom of a cell hole, and dyeing for 10min at room temperature; the 96-well plate was washed with sterile water, dried in a fume hood, and the morphology of the A9 cells was observed under an optical microscope.
The microscopic examination results of the embodiment show that under the condition of no virus and different dilution factors, the staining of the indication cells is too deep (fig. 4-6), especially when the dilution factors of the virus are higher, the cell density is high, the cell structure is difficult to observe, and therefore, cytopathy is difficult to distinguish, and the detection result is inaccurate.
Comparative example 2
This comparative example provides a trypan blue staining method for indicator cell A9 cells in MVM virus titer TCID50 assay, specifically as follows:
1. MVM virus infection A9 cells: as in example 1.
2. Indicator cell A9 cell staining: after the MVM virus infects the A9 cells and the negative control cells to culture for 7 days, removing the culture medium in the cell culture holes, adding methanol to fully cover the bottoms of the cell holes, and fixing the cells for 15min; sucking the methanol by using a pipette, and drying at room temperature for 10min to volatilize the methanol; adding trypan blue staining solution which is diluted to 0.04% working concentration by PBS in advance, fully covering the bottom of a cell hole, and staining for 3min at room temperature; the 96-well plate was washed with sterile water, dried in a fume hood, and the morphology of the A9 cells was observed under an optical microscope.
The microscopic examination results of the comparative example show that the cell density is high without virus and at high dilution factor, and the cell structure is difficult to observe (fig. 7-9), so that cytopathy is difficult to distinguish, and the detection result is inaccurate.
Comparative example 3
The indicator cells A9 were stained using two commercially available giemsa staining solution kits (designated as brand a, purchased from beijing boaosen biotechnology limited, and designated as brand B, purchased from beijing white shark easy technology limited) according to the instructions of the corresponding commercially available giemsa staining solution kit.
Brand a:
1. MVM virus infection A9 cells: as in example 1.
2. Indicator cell A9 cell staining: after the MVM virus infects the A9 cells and the negative control cells to culture for 7 days, removing the culture medium in the cell culture holes, adding methanol to fully cover the bottoms of the cell holes, and fixing the cells for 15min; sucking the methanol by using a pipette, and drying at room temperature for 10min to volatilize the methanol; adding a staining working solution prepared by mixing a Giemsa staining solution (component A) and a phosphoric acid buffer solution (component B) in equal proportion, fully covering the bottom of a cell hole, and staining for 10min at room temperature; the 96-well plate was washed with sterile water, and after air-dried in a fume hood, the staining effect of A9 cells was observed under an optical microscope, and the Giemsa staining solution of brand A had only good staining ability on cytoplasm and had poor staining effect on nuclei (FIG. 10), and the detection accuracy was low when observing cytopathy after virus infection.
Brand B:
1. MVM virus infection A9 cells: as in example 1.
2. Indicator cell A9 cell staining: after the MVM virus infects A9 cells and negative control cells and cultures for 7 days, after the cells are cultured for 7 days, removing the culture medium in the cell culture holes, adding methanol to fully cover the bottoms of the cell holes, and fixing the cells for 15min; sucking the methanol by using a pipette, and drying at room temperature for 10min to volatilize the methanol; adding Giemsa staining solution to fully cover the bottom of the cell hole, and staining at room temperature for 10min; the 96-well plate was washed with sterile water, and after air-dried in a fume hood, the morphology of A9 cells was observed under an optical microscope, which also had a good staining ability for cytoplasm and poor staining effect for nuclei (fig. 11).
Experiments show that methanol is necessary to fix cells during staining of the brand A and the brand B in the comparative example, otherwise, the cell nucleus is not obvious in staining, cytopathy cannot be accurately distinguished, and the detection result is inaccurate. And still need to suck the methyl alcohol after carrying out methyl alcohol fixed cell, need very careful during the operation, misjudgement that the misjudgement of testing result caused by the improper operation causes the cell to drop when preventing to suck the methyl alcohol, complex operation and time-consuming.
The comparison conditions of the operation duration, difficulty, cost and the like of the different dyeing methods in the example 1 and the comparative examples 1-3 are shown in the table 1.
