Definitions
- the present invention pertains to the field of labelling materials with specific taggant substances comprising coded information.
- Such a method makes it possible to detect, using very simple detection means, whether or not a material has been labelled with the specific taggant substance, the structure and/or informational content of which can only be determined and/or decoded by staff having access to the necessary, specialized laboratory facilities and the code of the taggant substance.
- Labelling or tagging of materials including liquids, substances, flowables and objects with the objective of prevent- ing or detecting theft, counterfeit, forgery, copyright infringement or unlawful or accidental pollution of the environment has attracted considerable attention and several methods for such labelling or tagging have been suggested. Specifically, labelling with nucleic acid fragments as tag- gants have been disclosed in a number of patent applications.
- WO 87/06383 discloses a method of labelling an item or substance by means of a predetermined macromolecular signal compound such as a nucleic acid to which a complementary second compound is capable of binding thereby revealing the presence of the signal compound.
- WO 90/14441 generally discloses the labelling and tracing of materials by use of nucleic acid taggants. The detection of the taggant is preferably performed by PCR amplification of the nucleic acids used for labelling.
- EP-B-408,424 discloses the marking of valuable objects by incorporating a target nucleic acid in the objects using a nucleic acid solution having a chosen degree of fluidity and, if necessary, subsequently identifying the object by detecting the target nucleic acid by means of nucleic acid probes that hybridize to the target nucleic acid.
- WO 91/17265 discloses a method of monitoring the movement of a material such as a hydrocarbon by adding DNA molecule taggants to the material and detecting the presence of the taggant .
- WO 94/04918 pertains to the marking of liquids with ⁇ 1 ppm of non-cellular particles comprising i.a. nucleic acid tags attached thereto.
- nucleic acid taggants for labelling of materials involves a number of advantages. Firstly, the existence of effective molecular amplification methods such as PCR permits even trace amounts of nucleic acids to be detected and analyzed. Thus, the material which is labelled with the nucleic acid will be virtually unchanged by the addition of the label. Additionally, it is relatively simple to produce suitable nucleotide fragments. Secondly, it is only possible to amplify such a nucleic acid fragment when sufficient information concerning the sequences of the 3' and the 5' ends of the molecule is available.
- WO 94/04918 describes a method of labelling a liquid such as a hydrocarbon oil with non-biological particles that comprise what is referred to as signal means to aid detection of their presence, which signal means are invisible in the liquid to the naked eye (a first, non-specific marker) .
- non-specific markers include (i) that the particles are magnetic and can be separated using an appropriate apparatus for separation, (ii) that the particles have a known size or shape distribution to allow a particular batch to be iden- tified by determining the frequency of particles of one size or shape relative to the other, e.g.
- the particles are coloured, (iv) that the particles are provided with a detectable label such as a fluorescent label, an enzyme or a radiolabel.
- the particles may also be provided with a second "unique marker" e.g. in the form of a nucleic acid to permit authorities to more specifically identify the identity or source of the labelled liquid.
- WO 96/17954 discloses a method for chemically labelling an object, comprising adding to the object a first, unique or specific chemical tag and a second, non-specific chemical tag, of which the first tag comprises an informational content which is not divulged to the public, which can be amplified by use of molecular amplification and the presence of which specifically establishes the identity and/or origin of the object and the second tag indicates that the object is labelled with the first tag and is "easily detectable".
- the second tag is preferably a nucleic acid sequence which can be detected by hybridization and/or PCR amplification by means of probes or primers that are publicly available, thus permitting anyone in possession of such detection means and the necessary facilities and skills to detect that an item is labelled with the first tag.
- a major objective of the present invention is therefore to provide a simple method for detecting whether or not a material is labelled with a taggant carrying more or less complex information on the source and origin of the item.
- the method only requires a microscope of a type which can easily be operated by individuals not having the skills of professional laboratory staff.
- the present method can be used as a rapid, cost-effective indicative test for the presence or absence on or in the material of coded taggant substances such as predetermined, specific nucleic acid sequences .
- the invention relates in a first aspect to a method of detecting whether or not a material has been labelled with a specific taggant, the method comprising associating a material , that is labelled with at least one specific taggant substance comprising an informational content which is not divulged to the public and the presence of which specifically establishes the identity and/or origin of the material, with a microscopically detectable amount of cellular particles, the presence of which in or on the labelled material can be detected by simple microscopical detection means, collecting a sample of the material that is suspected of being labelled with the specific taggant sub- stance and testing the sample for presence of the cellular particles, subject to the limitation that, when the specific taggant substance is integrated in the cellular particles, it is not a substance that occurs naturally in said particles.
- the invention provides a method of labelling a material and subsequently detecting that it has been labelled, the method comprising the steps of (i) labelling the material with at least one specific taggant substance comprising an informational content which is not divulged to the public and the presence of which specifically establishes the identity and/or origin of the material and (ii) associating the material with a microscopically detectable amount of cellular particles, the presence of which in or on the labelled material can be detected by simple micro- scopical detection means, subject to the limitation that when the specific taggant substance is integrated in the cellular particles, it is not a substance that occurs naturally in said particles.
- the invention pertains to a material that is labelled with a specific taggant substance comprising an informational content which is not divulged to the public and the presence of which specifically establishes the identity and/or origin of the material and associated with it, a microscopically detectable amount of cellular particles, the presence of which in or on the labelled material can be detected by simple microscopical detection means .
- the above method of detecting whether or not a material has been labelled with a specific taggant substance can be applied to any material for which there is a need that it is labelled with a specific taggant so as to permit subsequent establishment of its identity and/origin.
- material refers to any types of matter including physical objects such as motor vehicles, antiquities, pieces of art, precious metal objects, jewe- leries, paper goods objects such as bank notes and securities; liquids such as e.g.
- hydrocarbon materials including petroleum and petroleum-derived liquids, pharmaceuticals, perfumes and beverages; compositions of matter including as examples pharmaceutical products, food and feed products, reagents, hydrocarbon compositions, explosives, herbicides, pesticides and environmental pollutants; and living matter such as microbial cells, animal and plant cell cultures.
- specific taggant substance refers to any substance that can be incorporated in, attached to or otherwise associated firmly with a material as defined above and which has an informational content that permits the identity and/or origin of the material with which it is associated to be recognized. In the method, any taggant including the above prior art taggants fulfilling this requirement can be used.
- a presently preferred taggant substance is a nucleic acid comprising a more or less detailed information content with respect to identity or origin of the labelled material.
- the use of other macromolecules such as PNA, polypeptides and synthetic polymeric materials is also contemplated.
- the level of informational content of the specific taggant substance can be adapted to the particular requirements for identification.
- a petroleum material can be labelled with a nucleic acid, the sequence of which when determined reveals the country of origin of the material .
- the nucleic acid taggant may also contain further information which identifies the carrier of the material or even which tank of the carrier was used. In this manner can e.g. the source of pollution of the sea and beaches with crude oil be determined unambiguously.
- the primary objective of the present method is to provide a simple "YES/NO" test which can be used by staff without any professional laboratory skills and with very simple detection means to detect whether or not a given material has been labelled with at least one specific taggant substance com- prising an informational content which is not divulged to the public, and the presence of which specifically establishes the identity and/or origin of the material.
- the expression "not divulged to the public” implies (i) that the structure of the taggant cannot be determined unless specific reagent substances are available and (ii) that even when the structure is determined it is required to convert the structural data into information by means of a code which is only known by authorized individuals.
- the above objective is achieved by associating the material that is labelled as described above, with a microscopically detectable amount of cellular particles, the presence of which in or on the labelled material can be detected by simple microscopical detection means .
- the expression "associating with” implies that the cellular particles are linked or bound so firmly to the material that they will substantially not dissociate from the material up to the point in time where a sample of the material is examined for the presence or absence of the particles.
- the method of linking or binding the particles to the material will depend on the type of particles and the nature of the material.
- Possible methods of associating the particles with a material is to apply a suspension of the selected particles onto the outer surface of a solid material followed by drying, mixing the cellular particles into a non- solid composition of matter or, in the case of a liquid material, suspending the particles in the material. It will be appreciated that it is also possible to associate the particles with the material by using a suitable organic or inorganic ligand, optionally combined with a treatment which strengthens the ligand binding such as a heat treatment or a photochemical treatment.
- cellular particles refers to any particulate, at least initially viable cell structures that have a relatively consistent shape and structure, that have mechanical and physical characteristics permitting their shape and structure to be substantially retained during the process of their association with the labelled material and until the material is to be examined by the above method of detecting the presence or absence of the particles.
- suitable cellular particles can be derived from a bacterial species, a fungal species including a yeast species, and a plant.
- Presently preferred cellular particles include bacterial spores and fungal spores.
- Several bacterial species have the capability to produce, under certain conditions such as nutrient limitation, so-called endospores which after release from the mother cell normally enter a long period of dormancy.
- Bacterial endospores are generally spherical or ellipsoidal structures having a largest diameter which is typically in the range of 1-2 ⁇ m and hence, they are readily detectable by simple microscopy, optionally after staining using a conventional spore staining method.
- Bacterial species which have the ability to produce endospores include Bacillus spp. such as B . subtilis, B. megaterium, B. cereus and B. thuringiensis; Clostridium spp. including as examples C. perfringens and the group of butyric acid clostridia e.g. C.
- acetobutylicum and C. lactoacetophilum Desulfotomaculum spp. including D. acetoxydans, Sporolactobacillus spp. and Thermoactinomyces spp.
- Other potentially useful cellular particles include desiccation-resistant bacterial exospores which are e.g. produced by methanotrophic bacteria including the genera Methylosinus and Methylobacterium.
- fungal spores Another type of cellular particles that can be used in accordance with the invention is fungal spores.
- a majority of fungal species including those belonging to the classes Ascomycetes , Basidomycetes and Fungi Imperfecti produce exospores which are pinched off at the tip of the hyphae.
- fungal spores typically have a largest diameter in the range of 1-5 ⁇ m and they can there- fore be detected readily by microscopy.
- a further type of cellular particles that can be applied in the above method is plant pollen grains.
- One advantageous feature of pollen is the fact that the wall of mature pollen grains is "sculptured" in a great variety of patterns. This feature implies that particular pollen grains which, in accordance with the invention, are associated with a labelled ⁇ SD ⁇ - SD hj TJ JD rt TJ JD TJ O a ra H g CQ hi ⁇ 3 tr H 0 IS JD TJ

- taggant e.g. a nucleic acid taggant
- the taggant will be protected effectively against adverse physical and chemical effects such as UV or other ionizing radiation, pH or extreme temperature conditions.
- the labelled material preferably is associated with an amount of cellular particles that permits their ready detection by means of a simple light microscope.
- the number of particles associated with a material, into which cellular particles can be mixed is at least 10 3 per ml of the material.
- the amount of cellular particle elements is at least 10 4 per ml such as at least 10 5 per ml including at least 10 6 per ml.
- the number of structures is at least 10 2 cellular particles per cm 2 including at least 10 3 per cm 2 such as at least 10 4 per cm 2 , e.g. at least 10 5 per cm 2 including at least 10 6 per cm 2 .
- the present method of detecting whether or not a material is labelled with a specific taggant preferably implies that a sample of the material can be examined microscopically with- out complicated preceding steps.
- detection which includes that the cellular particles are at least partially dissociated from the material are also encompassed by the invention.
- the associated cellular particles may be dissociated by rinsing the surface followed by microscopic inspection of the rinse liquid or by swabbing the surface and subsequently rinsing the swab and inspecting the rinse liquid. It is also possible to concentrate a sample or a rinse liquid prior to micro- scopy.
- the choice of cellular particles may depend on the nature, structure and composition of the material.
- the particles are com- patible with the material, e.g. in the sense that they can be distributed substantially homogenous in or on the material and that this state of substantial homogeneous distribution is maintained up to the point in time where the material is to be examined for presence or absence of the particles.
- the fulfilment of that requirement may involve that the particles of choice be modified such that they can be associated appropriately with the labelled material or be homogeneously distributed herein.
- such a modification may involve that the surface of the particles are modified by linking moieties to the surface which render the particles more hydrophobic or more hydrophilic.
- the present method can be used irrespective of the type or structure of the informational content-carrying specific taggant substance.
- the method includes detection of labelling with a macromolecule including a nucleic acid, PNA and a polypeptide.
- the taggant comprises the informational content in the form of an alphanumeric code e.g. as described in WO 96/17954 including such a taggant which is a nucleic acid comprising nucleotides different from A, dA, G, dG, C, dC, U, and T.
- the method further includes embodiments where the material is labelled with at least two nucleic acid taggants including embodiments where the at least two nucleic acid taggants are comprised in one nucleic acid molecule or where one of said at least two nucleic acid taggants is in the form of nucleotide fragments which flank another of the at least two nucleic acid taggants, e.g. an embodiment where the nucleotide fragments which flank another of the at least two nucleic acid taggants serve as templates for primers in a PCR reaction which amplifies the informational content of the nucleic acid flanked by said nucleotide fragments.
- the method implies that at least one specific taggant substance is provided with a nonspecific label.
- a non-specific label include a radiolabel, a fluorescent label, an enzyme and an immunologically detectable substance.
- the invention relates in a further aspect to a method of labelling a material and subsequently detecting that it has been labelled.
- This method comprises that the material is labelled with at least one specific taggant substance as it is defined above and which comprises an informational content which is not divulged to the public and the presence of which specifically establishes the identity and/or origin of the material and that the material is associated with a microscopically detectable amount of cellular particles as also defined above.
- the invention pertains to a material that is labelled with a specific taggant substance as defined above and associated with it, a microscopically detectable amount of cellular particles as described above, the presence of which in or on the labelled material can be detected by the above method.
- Fig. 1 illustrates the construction of the replacement vector pTAGl
- Fig. 2 shows the integration of a taggant sequence into Bacillus subtilis chromosome; the cloned chromosomal DNA fragment (open box) is interrupted by the taggant sequence (filled box) .
- Two 1 kb DNA fragments homologous to a 2 kb Bacillus subtilis chromosomal sequence were produced by PCR using primers containing the recognition sites for Xbal, EcoRI, BairiHI and Kpi ⁇ L , respectively at their 5' ends. After digesting these PCR-generated fragments and the taggant fragment with the appropriate endonucleases, the three fragments were mixed and joined by ligation.
- the recombining cassette comprising the 2 kb B. subtilis chromosomal sequence interrupted by the taggant sequence was amplified from the ligase reaction mixture as shown i Fig. 1.
- the cassette was then ligated between the Xbal and Sail restriction sites of the thermosensitive plasmid pG + host4 (Appligene, Illkirch, France) , to give the replacement vector pTAGl.
- pTAGl was introduced into B . subtilis cells by electrotrans- formation as described by McDonald et al . , J. Appl . Bacteri- ol. 79:213-218, 1995. Electroporated cells were diluted 10- fold in 2xLB medium and incubated with shaking for 2.5 hours at 30°C and subsequently mixed with 10 ml of LB containing 10 ⁇ g of erythromycin per ml. For curing of plasmid and selection for single crossing-over integrants, the temperature was raised to 37.5°C (a temperature that is non-permissive for plasmid-directed replication) and the culture was incubated overnight to obtain a population of integrants.
- the culture was then diluted 1:10 5 in LB medium without antibiotic and the temperature shifted to 28°C to stimulate homologous recombination and excision of the integrated plasmid through plasmid-directed replication. After 12-15 hours of incubation at this temperature, the cell culture was plated at various cell concentrations at 37.5°C without erythromycin selection. Colonies were transferred by use of tooth sticks to plates containing 10 ⁇ g of erythromycin per ml. Erythromycin sensi- tive colonies were analyzed for the presence of taggant sequence by PCR, using PCR primers hybridizing to the chromosomal DNA sequence on each side of the taggant. Finally, the integrated state of the taggant sequence was verified by Southern hybridization.
