Five, embodiment
In the following detailed description, the subsidiary reference word of legend is a part here, and it illustrates to illustrate the mode that the utility model can actable specific concrete scheme.We do not get rid of the utility model and can also carry out other concrete scheme and changing structure of the present utility model under the situation of claim scope of the present utility model.
Surveyed area
Here said surveyed area is meant can react to detect whether there is analyte of interest matter in the sample on this zone.Here said reaction can be immune response, as single stage method immunoreagent bar or the like.As Fig. 1, Fig. 2 and shown in Figure 7, contain a surveyed area 95 on the reagent strip, on surveyed area 95, fixed some specific bond molecules, on this zone, detect whether contain analyte in the sample.
In one embodiment, on surveyed area 95, fix the molecule of a specific bond analyte, comprise another molecule of the specific bond analyte that has mark substance on the reagent areas 115.When containing analyte in the sample, another specific bond molecule forming composite matter of a part on analyte and the reagent areas, this compound is through on the surveyed area, be fixed on another specific bond molecule trapping on the surveyed area and accumulate on the surveyed area, owing to have color on the compound, show whether analyte is present in the sample so change color on surveyed area, also can occur.In embodiment, another specific bond molecule of tape label material can be antibody or antibody fragment, and another specific bond molecule that is fixed on the surveyed area also can be antibody or antibody fragment.Be generally double antibody sandwich method or dual-antigen sandwich method detects.
In another embodiment, another molecule that does not contain the specific bond analyte that has mark substance on the reagent strip, but before reaction, earlier sample and another molecular mixing that has mark substance are formed aqueous solution, and then reagent strip is inserted into goes in this mixed solution or mixed solution is added drop-wise on the reagent strip, change color also can occur at the surveyed area of reagent strip like this and show whether there is analyte in the sample.
In another embodiment, the specific bond molecule that has mark is the analog of analyte, is fixed with the molecule of specific bond analyte on surveyed area.When containing analyte in the sample, the similar substance of analyte and tape label can be vied each other in conjunction with the specific bond molecule on the surveyed area, like this on surveyed area can because analyte what and different depth colors occur and show what of analyte, if analyte is many more, the color relation that occurs on surveyed area is shallow more, otherwise just dark more.The for example common competition law that utilizes carries out drugs detectable bar.
Shown in Fig. 3-6,8.In other embodiments, this surveyed area 95 comprises positive control area 55 and analyte calmodulin binding domain CaM 45, on positive control area, can be fixed with protein ingredients such as antibody, antibody fragment and catch material, also can fix the material of catching of some non-protein ingredients, for example inorganic coagulum or flocculation reagent catches comprise the molecule of specific bond analyte on the analyte calmodulin binding domain CaM.But the certain distinguished symbol of this positive control area and the interlaced formation of analyte calmodulin binding domain CaM directly shows the result who detects.For example form positive sign (+) or negative sign (-) or the like (Fig. 5 and Fig. 3).In the present embodiment, no matter whether there is color to occur, all has color to occur on this positive control area in conjunction with the analyte zone.Specifically, if there is analyte in the sample, the symbol (+) of positive findings just occurs being expressed as on surveyed area 95, if there is no the symbol (-) of negative findings then appears representing in analyte.
Fixing the technology of a certain amount of specific bond molecule on the surveyed area and utilize this technology to detect whether having analyte in the sample is that persons skilled in the art can be known, explanation and elaboration that these technology are all detailed in the prior art, for example U.S. Patent number 5,075, and 078; 5,541,059 and European patent EP 0 560 411 etc. disclosed like that.
The control area
Here there is the effect of several aspects said control area.Whether the one, whether can be used as the testing result control area, to control the testing result that is presented on the surveyed area effective, or be presented at the process of reacting on the surveyed area and how long finish or finished.Can also be as the positive findings control area, another be exactly with surveyed area on another analyte calmodulin binding domain CaM form certain shape and come reaction detection result directly perceived, when containing analyte in the sample, the positive findings that shows just directly perceived, when not having analyte in the sample, the negative findings that shows just directly perceived.Give explanation below in detail.
The testing result control area.In the prior art, the antibody of some protein ingredients or antibody fragment are fixed on the testing result control area in surveyed area downstream, and the excessive specific bond molecule that has mark substance is processed at the upstream region of surveyed area.When detecting, these that do not have that another specific bond molecule on the detected zone caught have specific bond molecules of mark substance these protein ingredients on can detected control area as a result catches material and catches, thereby shows that this testing result is effective.On the contrary, if do not have change color on the testing result control area, represent that this testing result is invalid, this detection must be from new detection so.On the other hand, the indicative function of reaction process on the surveyed area can also be served as in the testing result control area, for example change color occurred on the testing result control area, can think that the reaction on the surveyed area is through with, result displayed is the net result that detects on the surveyed area.The distance of testing result control area and surveyed area is also can regulate arbitrarily according to different the requirement, for example the testing result control area is can the distance detecting zone distant, and approximately flowing to the testing result control area apart from liquid from surveyed area needs 5 minutes to 10 minutes distance.The setting of this distance can be according to freely designing in the cellulosic speed of flow of liquid pernitric acid.Like this, when change color appearred in the testing result control area, the reaction of carrying out on the expression surveyed area had continued about 5-10 minute.Control area on the reagent strip can be one or more, process for control detection reaction more accurately, can locate to set up first testing result control area in about 5 minutes in downstream, distance detecting zone, located to set up second testing result control area in 10 minutes in distance, when appearring in first testing result control area, color represents that the reaction on the surveyed area has continued about 5 minutes, when having appearred in second surveyed area 2, change color represents that the reaction on the surveyed area has continued 10 minutes, think that perhaps the result on the surveyed area is effectively in 10 minutes, it is invalid having crossed 10 minutes results on the expression surveyed area.
The utility model said " upstream " or " downstream " are meant upstream or the downstream on the liquid flow direction.Under the normal condition, liquid flow to downstream area from upstream region.For example liquid begins to flow from the sample region of acceptance, pass through surveyed area and testing result control area flow further downstream successively, then the sample region of acceptance is positioned at the upstream of surveyed area, surveyed area is positioned at the upstream of testing result control area, and the testing result control area is positioned at the downstream of sample region of acceptance and surveyed area.
Positive control area.Simultaneously, in the prior art, the antibody of a large amount of protein ingredients or antibody fragment are fixed on the positive control area on the surveyed area, regardless of testing result, all change color can occur on positive control area.Another analyte calmodulin binding domain CaM on the surveyed area and positive control area are formed certain shape and are come reaction detection result directly perceived.These antibody or antibody fragments that are fixed on the positive control area also are to be used for catching the superfluous specific bond molecule that has mark.Like this, in a large amount of production, need the antibody or the antibody fragment of a large amount of protein ingredients, simultaneously, also need a large amount of specific bond molecules that has the color mark material.The cost of the reagent strip product of producing like this can significantly improve, because production or purchase protein antibodies or antibody fragment are very high with the cost that has the specific bond molecule of mark substance.In addition, in the prior art some chemical substance treatment on positive control area, for example United States Patent (USP) 6,855,561 and U.S. Patent Application Publication 2006/0029924 in the utilization described on positive control area, handles some chemical dyes or some utilize chemical reaction to come Show Color to change, thereby and the analyte calmodulin binding domain CaM make up visual display detecting result.But in real process, it is very difficult on nitrocellulose filter that these chemical substances are directly handled, handle superincumbent chemical substance and spread easily, because chemical reaction also can influence testing result, the cost of producing this product in addition is also very high simultaneously.
The reagent strip that utilizes the utility model to provide is handled certain non-albumen and is caught material and can make the reagent strip of production with low cost on the control area, produce and can not influence the quality of reagent strip easily.In the embodiment as shown in Figure 1, on reagent strip 1, comprise a testing result control area 85, on the testing result control area, be fixed with the coagulum or the flocculation reagent catches of a certain amount of non-protein ingredient.On reagent areas 115, handle the specific bond molecule that movably has mark substance is arranged.When these specific bond molecules that have mark substance are taken to 85 places, testing result control area by liquid, be fixed on the molecule that the coagulum on the testing result control area or the reagent that flocculates are caught these tape label materials.Change color so just on the testing result control area, occurs and show that testing result is effectively, otherwise testing result is invalid.In another concrete embodiment, have the coagulum of a certain amount of non-protein ingredient or the testing result control area of flocculation reagent and be positioned at the about 10 minutes distance in surveyed area downstream, when on the testing result control area, change color occurring, then represent to react and carried out 10 minutes.
In another embodiment as shown in Figure 2, on testing result control area 85, be fixed with a certain amount of coagulum or flocculation reagent, on the dyestuff zone 35 of surveyed area 95 upstreams, handle a certain amount of dyestuff is arranged, do not have any specific bond molecule on this dyestuff, on the marked region 15 of upstream, dyestuff zone, handle the specific bond molecule that has colored particle simultaneously.When detecting, dyestuff is taken on the testing result control area 85 by liquid and is caught by coagulum or flocculation reagent place and accumulate, thereby change color on the testing result control area, occurred and represented that testing result is effectively, if do not have change color then represent that testing result is invalid.Simultaneously, specific bond molecule on the surveyed area 95 and the molecule that has mark substance on the marked region 15 carry out immune response and detect whether there is analyte in the sample.In an embodiment, the mark substance on the marked region is granular metallic colloid or latex colloid, and the specific bond molecule on the mark substance can be antibody or antibody fragment, also can be antigen or antigen fragment or the like.In another embodiment, the embodiment difference of showing with Fig. 2 is that handling on the marked region 15 has the specific bond molecule (Fig. 7) that has water-soluble dye.
In another embodiment as shown in the figure, zone 45 and the positive control area 55 of on surveyed area 95, containing the specific bond analyte, one testing result control area 85 is arranged in the downstream of surveyed area 95, in the surveyed area upstream reagent areas 115 is arranged, comprise marked region 15 and dyestuff zone 35 on the reagent areas.Wherein, be fixed with coagulum or flocculation reagent catches respectively on positive control area 55 and testing result control area 85, the zone 45 of specific bond analyte and positive control area 55 intersect to form ten sub-frame shapes mutually.When detecting, the dyestuff on the dyestuff zone is caught the positive control of formation lines by the coagulum of positive control area or the reagent that flocculates, and coagulum on the detected control area as a result 85 or flocculation reagent are caught the formation result and controlled lines.Simultaneously, the specific bond molecule that has the color mark material on the marked region just participates in and the reaction of specific bond analyte comes testing result, participates in positive control line of formation or testing result control line and need not handle excessive mark substance.The binding molecule that has mark substance that a part is expensive has just well been saved like this.
In another concrete embodiment, also can handle the antibody or the antibody fragment of some protein ingredients on the positive control area 55, perhaps the albumen that other can the capture of labels material is caught material, is fixed with coagulum or flocculation reagent simultaneously on the testing result control area.
In another embodiment shown in Figure 5, on surveyed area, comprise the zone of containing specific bond analyte molecule and and positive findings control area 55, handling on positive structure control zone has a certain amount of coagulum or flocculation reagent to catch.Simultaneously, a processing has the transportable specific bond molecule that has the color mark material on reagent areas.Like this, when detecting, coagulum on the positive control area or flocculation reagent are caught unnecessary mark substance and are formed the control lines.These positive control lines can show testing result with the symbol that the zone formation of specific bond analyte can be discerned.
Non-albumen catches
The catches that material replaces to non-protein ingredient of catching of the antibody on the prior art control area or antibody fragment or some protein ingredients, greatly reduce the cost of reagent strip like this and don't change sensitivity and the specificity that reagent strip detects.The pollutant that adopts flocculation reagent or coagulum to separate and remove the colloidal state in the waste water is used in field of waste water treatment in a large number.The utility model utilization flocculation reagent or coagulum have condense and the precipitated liquid sample body in this character of particle form change color in the control area.Absorption that this flocculation reagent or coagulum cause and precipitation are nonspecific absorption and precipitation.Here non-specific is that the particulate material that has in the solution can and absorb by flocculation reagent or coagulum precipitation.Here said non-albumen is and the prior art relative material of antibody, antibody fragment or albumin A, protein B commonly used; be not meant that these flocculation reagent or coagulum do not contain any protein substance; but these flocculation reagent or coagulums substantially are not to catch other specific bond molecules in the solution in the specific bond mode, but they come the particle or the particle matter in the solution of catching of non-selectivity in the mode of non-specific bond.
In a concrete embodiment, as shown in Figure 1, on testing result control area 85, fix a certain amount of flocculation reagent or coagulum, the special molecular of a certain amount of band color colloidal solid of 115 processing on the reagent areas of surveyed area 95 upstreams.When detecting, flow through reagent areas 115 successively, surveyed area 95 and testing result control area 85 from the liquid of sample region of acceptance 25.When flowing through testing result control area 85, be comprised in flocculation reagent or the coagulum that the band color colloidal solid in the liquid can be fixed on the surveyed area and precipitate.As shown in Figure 2, in another concrete embodiment, in order to save the specific bond molecule of band color mark material, on reagent areas 115, can also handle some colored dyestuffs (35), when detecting, dyestuff in the dyestuff zone is taken on the testing result control area by liquid and is precipitated by flocculation reagent or coagulum, and so just Show Color represents that testing result is effective on the testing result control area.

Conclusion
From the result shown in the table 1, the flocculation reagent of handling on positive control area can reach the result of G8-G9, when detecting, very bright-coloured red lines occur on positive control area.The background of this reagent strip was fine when dye reagent concentration was 0.0125%-0.00625%, and is bright-colored.
Simultaneously, as can be seen from Table 2, we detect the positive urine fluid samples with these reagent strips, are detecting the result who all shows positive sign "+" on the control area, and negative sample all demonstrates negative sign "-" result, and is consistent with the testing result of the reagent strip that contrasts.Then explanation, BWD-Q1 on this positive control area decolouring flocculation reagent does not influence the specific binding reaction on the analyte calmodulin binding domain CaM.
Here G8, G9 are the internal control standards of weighing shade, generally are to deepen gradually from colourless to the G12 color from G0, and general is just can reach the requirement of commercial product more than the G7 in color on the control area.The depth of background also is a control of product standard, the reason that produces background be these colored particles (dyestuff and mark substance) on nitrocellulose filter because capillary layer is inhaled forward flows, these particles are on film owing to will be subjected to the resistance of the micropore on the nitrocellulose filter and show color belt, along with flowing of liquid, the disappearance that these colors can be gradually.General coml requires bright-colored for what occur on the control area, and the speed that background shoals in certain hour is fast more, and then the quality of product is just good more.
