Definitions
- the invention relates to methods for the quantitative or qualitative detection of an analyte in a sample and suitable reagents therefor.
- Binding tests are frequently used to detect analytes, in which the presence, absence or amount of the analyte in a sample can be inferred from a specific binding of the analyte to be detected to analyte-specific binding partners.
- Immunoassays or methods in which oligo- or polynucleotides are hybridized are examples of binding tests.
- the so-called “heterogeneous binding tests” are characterized by one or more separation steps and / or washing steps.
- the separation can be carried out, for example, by immunoprecipitation, precipitation with substances such as polyethylene glycol or ammonium sulfate, filtration, magnetic separation, and binding to a solid phase.
- a solid phase exists made of porous and / or non-porous, usually water-insoluble material. It can have a wide variety of shapes such as: Vessel, tube, microtitration plate, sphere, microparticles, rods, strips, filter or chromatography paper, etc.
- one of the analyte-specific binding partners is usually bound to a solid phase and is used for Separation of the binding complex "analyte / analyte-specific binding partner" from the liquid phase, while the other analyte-specific binding partner bears a detectable label (eg an enzyme, a fluorescence or chemiluminescence label, etc.) for the detection of the binding complex.
- a detectable label eg an enzyme, a fluorescence or chemiluminescence label, etc.
- test methods are further divided into so-called one-step Sandwich tests in which the two specific binding partners are incubated simultaneously with the sample and in two-step sandwich tests in which the sample is first incubated with the solid phase reagent and after a separation and washing step the solid phase-bound binding complex of analyte and analyte-specific binding partner is incubated with the detection reagent.
- test batch which contains the analyte-specific binding partners, the signal-forming components and the sample, is measured after or even during the binding reaction without a further separation and / or washing step and the corresponding measurement signal is determined.
- homogeneous immunoassays see also Boguslaski & Li.
- the antibody reagents are incubated together with the sample and the measurement of the signal is carried out during and / or after the incubation without separation In other words, there is no separation of the antibody-bound analyte from the free analyte or from antibodies which have not bound any analyte.
- Homogeneous and heterogeneous binding tests can also be carried out in the form of a so-called "sandwich assay".
- the analyte is bound by a solid-phase-associated analyte-specific binding partner and an analyte-specific binding partner which is associated with a component of a signal-forming system
- Sandwich immunoassays can form antibodies or antigens or haptens as the analyte-specific binding partners.
- analyte is an antibody.
- petitive binding assay competes "sample analyte and reagent analyte (for example, a” modified analyte ", such as a labeled or labeled analyte, analyte fragment or analyte) for binding to a limited amount of analyte-specific binding partners.
- reagent analyte for example, a” modified analyte ", such as a labeled or labeled analyte, analyte fragment or analyte
- analyte-specific binding partners In many binding tests, however, great difficulties arise in the preparation of the reagents, since the binding of the analyte-specific binding partners to solid phases or particulate components of a signal-forming system (e.g. microparticles) often results in activity losses and / or changes in properties (e.g. with regard to conformation) in the analyte-specific binding partners bound in this way or stability). This is especially true if the bound analyte-specific binding partners are proteins, such as Antibodies or enzymes.
- the detection of an analyte can be carried out by using an avidin-coated solid phase as the universal solid-phase reagent, to which the biotinylated analyte-specific binding partner is bound.
- an avidin-coated solid phase as the universal solid-phase reagent, to which the biotinylated analyte-specific binding partner is bound.
- a biotinylated analyte-specific binding partner is used which, for example, can bind to a streptavidin / enzyme complex used as a universal detection reagent. In these tests, however, separation steps, such as washing steps, are a necessary part of the test procedure.
- EP-0 356 964, EP-0 349 988 and EP-0 444 561 it is therefore considered essential for the feasibility of such a homogeneous test that the analyte-specific binding partner is monovalent with respect to the universal reagent, ie the latter is only one Binding site for the universal reagent (eg streptavidin latex particles) has.
- the inventors point out that the measurement signal formation is dependent on the formation of particle pairs, which each consist of a sensitizer and a chemiluminescer particle (Ullman et al. (1996) Clinical Chemistry, 42: 1518-1526).
- a disadvantage of such methods is that the number of binding sites on the corresponding analyte-specific binding partner must be precisely controlled.
- the method according to the invention solves this problem by providing universal reagents (specific binding partners X or Y, each associated with a component of a signal-forming system), which are independent of the analyte-specific reagents (analyte-specific binding partners R1 and R2) to the specific ones Requirements can be set, and the detection of analytes with high sensitivity and accuracy.
- this invention also solves the following general problem of homogeneous binding tests, namely the opposite one Requirements for optimal differentiation and optimal sensitivity:
- concentration of the reagents should be limited so that the background signals are as low as possible, and on the other hand the reagents should be highly concentrated and highly marked in order to achieve a sufficient signal change per unit of time.
- the analyte-specific binding partners R1 and / or R2 according to the invention are characterized in that they have more than one binding site for the specific binding partner X or Y associated with components of a signal-forming system.
- Universal reagents, the components are preferably used in the process according to the invention of a signal-forming system, which can interact with one another over very short distances, for example in the form of an energy transfer.
- the binding sites of the analyte-specific binding partners for the respective universal reagents preferably consist of small molecules, e.g. B. haptens such as digoxigenin, biotin, DNP or FITC exist, which were preferably covalently bound to the analyte-specific binding partner, the analyte-specific activity or binding capacity of R1 or R2 is generally not or hardly affected.
- the binding sites can also be part of the unchanged analyte-specific binding partner.
- the analyte-specific binding partner could e.g. be a human IgG antibody that has multiple binding sites that are specifically recognized by anti-human IgG antibodies of another species.
- a preferred object of the invention is a homogeneous method for the quantitative or qualitative detection of an analyte in a sample, the analyte-specific binding partner R1 having specific binding sites for the specific binding partner X, which is associated with a component of a signal-forming system, and the analyte-specific binding partner R2 specific Binding sites for the specific binding partner Y, which. is associated with a component of a signal-forming system, characterized in that R1 and / or R2 has more than one binding site for the respective specific binding partner associated with components of a signal-forming system.
- a particular advantage of the invention is that the specific binding partners X and / or Y (for example avidin, streptavidin, etc.) do not have to be saturated as described in EP-0 138 297 by adding free “specific binding sites” (for example biotin) ,
- This method according to the invention is particularly preferably a homogeneous binding test, in particular a homogeneous immunoassay.
- this homogeneous binding test can be carried out, inter alia, in the form of a sandwich assay, an indirect immunoassay or a competitive binding test.
- a “quantitative detection” the amount, concentration or activity of the analyte in the sample is measured.
- Quantitative detection also encompasses semi-quantitative methods which only record the approximate amount, concentration or activity of the analyte in the sample or can only serve to provide a relative indication of the amount, concentration or activity.
- qualifying detection is the detection of the presence or absence of the analyte or its activity in the sample at all or the indication that the amount, concentration or activity of the analyte in the sample is below or above a certain or more certain threshold values.
- analyte is to be understood as the substance to be detected in the method according to the invention. Examples of an analyte are listed in EP-A2-0 515 194 on pages 8-15.
- the analyte can be a member of a specific binding pair.
- the analyte may have one binding site (monovalent, usually a hapten) or several binding sites (polyvalent). In immunochemical tests, such a binding site is often also referred to as an epitope.
- the analyte can be a single substance or a group of substances that have at least one common binding site exhibit.
- a monovalent analyte usually has a molecular weight of approximately 100 to 2000, in particular 125 to 1000. Many oligopeptides, oligonucleotides, oligosaccharides, drugs, drugs, metaobolites, pesticides etc. are included in the term monovalent analyte.
- a polyvalent analyte has usually a molecular weight of over 2000, mostly over 10,000. Examples of polyvalent analytes are polypeptides, polysaccharides, nucleic acids, cells, cell components including chromosomes, genes, mitochondria and other cell organelles, cell membranes, etc. Often proteins are the substances to be detected.
- Such proteins may be members of a family of proteins whose members are characterized by similar structural features and / or by a similar biological function.

Sewage samples, food, pharmaceuticals.
- sample also encompasses a pretreated sample which presumably contains the substance to be detected (“analyte”) in a form possibly released or amplified by carrier substances:
- analyte a substance to be detected
- Some samples have to be pretreated in order to make the analyte accessible for the detection method or to remove interfering sample components.
- Such pretreatment of samples may include the separation and / or lysis of cells, the precipitation, the hydrolysis or the denaturation of sample components such as proteins, the centrifugation of samples, the treatment of the sample with organic solvents such as alcohols, especially methanol; treating the sample with detergents.
- the sample is placed in another, usually aqueous, medium - y - transferred, which should not interfere with the detection method if possible.
- the analyte can also be amplified. Amplification of nucleic acids leads, for example, to the generation of one or more copies of the nucleic acid chain to be detected. Such amplification methods are well known to the person skilled in the art, for example “polymerase chain reaction” (PCR), “ligase chain reaction” (LCR), “amplification using Q beta replicase”, “nucleic acid sequence based amplification” (NASBA), “single primer amplification” "(ASPP) and others.
- an “analyte-specific binding partner” is either to be understood as a specific binding partner that is able to bind specifically to the analyte,
- a “modified analyte” is generally a substance which is capable of binding at least one analyte-specific binding partner, but which differs from the sample analyte in that there are no or additional binding sites, for example a biotinylated analyte or an analyte which is associated with a component of a signal-forming system.
- a modified analyte is used, for example, in competitive tests.
- a “specific binding partner” is understood to mean a member of a specific binding pair.
- the members of a specific binding pair are two molecules, each of which has at least one structure complementary to a structure of the other molecule, the two molecules being linked via a bond
- the term molecule also includes molecular complexes such as, for example, enzymes that consist of apo and coenzyme, proteins that consist of several subunits, lipoproteins consisting of protein and lipids, etc.
- Specific binding partners can occur naturally but also, for example, substances produced by means of chemical synthesis, microbiological techniques and / or genetic engineering processes.
- specific bin can now be used using phage display libraries, synthetic peptide databases or using "recombinatorial antibody libraries" selection partner (Larrick & Fry (1991) Human Antibodies and Hybridomas, 2: 172-189).
- binding partner examples include: thyroxine-binding globulin, steroid-binding proteins, antibodies, antigens, haptens, enzymes, lectins, nucleic acids, repressors, oligo- and polynucleotides, protein A, protein G, avidin, streptavidin, biotin, complement component C1q, nucleic acid-binding proteins, etc.
- Specific binding pairs are, for example: antibody-antigen, antibody-hap ' ten, digoxigen / anti-digoxigen-antibody, • fluorescin / anti-fluorescein antibody,
- nuclease nucleotide is usually nucleic acid chains which are at least partially complementary to sections of the nucleic acid chain to be detected.
- antibody is an immunoglobulin, eg, IgD, IgE, IgG i, IgG 2a, IgG 2b, IgG 3, IgG 4, IgM, to understand an immunoglobulin of the class or subclass of IgA in the sense of this invention.
- An antibody has at least one binding site (often called a paratope) for an epitope (often also called an antigenic determinant) on an antigen or hapten, such as its spatial structure and / or the presence of polar and / or apolar groups
- the binding site of the antibody is complementary to the epitope.
- the antigen-antibody reaction or the hapten-antibody reaction works according to the so-called "key-keyhole principle", and is usually to a high degree specific, ie the Antibodies are able to distinguish small deviations in the primary structure, in the charge, in the spatial configuration and in the steric arrangement of the antigen or hapten.
- the so-called “complementarity determining regions” of the antibody contribute to the binding of the antibody to the antigen or hapten.
- the term "antigens” includes monovalent and polyvalent antigens.
- a polyvalent antigen is a molecule or a complex of molecules to which more than one immunoglobulin can bind at the same time, while with a monovalent antigen only one antibody can bind at a time.
- a hapten is usually a molecule that is not immunogenic by itself, but that is usually bound to a carrier for immunization purposes.
- antibody is not only to be understood to mean complete antibodies but also expressly antibody fragments, such as
- Antibody fragments can be broken down, for example, by enzymatic cleavage of
- Antibody aggregates, polymers and conjugates can be generated by a variety of methods, e.g. by heat treatment, reaction with substances such as glutaraldehyde, reaction with immunoglobulin-binding molecules, biotinylation of antibodies and subsequent reaction with streptavidin or avidin, etc.
- An antibody in the sense of this invention can be a monoclonal or a polyclonal antibody.
- the antibody can be prepared by the usual methods, e.g. by immunization of humans or animals, e.g. Mouse, rat, meerschleich, rabbit, camel, horse, sheep, goat, chicken (see also Messerschmid (1996) BlOforum, 11: 500-502), and then collecting the antiserum; or by establishing hybridoma cells and then purifying the secreted antibodies; or by cloning and expression of the nucleotide sequences or modified versions thereof, which encode the amino acid sequences which are responsible for the binding of the natural antibody to the antigen and / or hapten.
- Antibodies can also be produced, if necessary with the help of genetic engineering methods in plants - such as Yeast cells - (Fischer et al. (1999) Biol. Chem., 380: 825-839; Hiatt et al. (1992) Genetic Engineering, 14: 49-64)), animal and prokaryotic cells (see for example WO 95/25172) as well as isolated human cells.

- the signal can be detected or measured, for example, on the basis of the enzyme activity, the luminescence, the light absorption, the light scattering, the emitted electromagnetic or radioactive radiation, or a chemical reaction.
- a “label” is capable of generating a detectable signal itself, so that no further components are necessary. Many organic molecules absorb ultraviolet and visible light, whereby the energy transmitted by the light absorption can bring these molecules into an excited energy state, and the absorbed energy in the form emit light of a different wavelength than that of the incident light, and yet other labels can directly generate a detectable signal, such as radioactive isotopes, dyes or magnetic and non-magnetic microparticles.
- the signal-producing system includes all the components required for signal generation, such as Substrates, coenzymes, quenchers ,. Accelerators, additional enzymes, substances that react with enzyme products, catalysts, activators, cofactors, inhibitors, ions etc.

- Interaction between the components is the direct transfer of energy between the components, e.g. through light or electron radiation as well as via short-lived reactive chemical molecules.
- This also includes processes in which the activity of a component is inhibited or enhanced by one or more others, for example the inhibition or increase in the enzyme activity or the inhibition, increase or change (for example wavelength shift, polarization) of the electromagnetic component emitted by the affected component Radiation.

- a microparticle can have a coating of one or more layers, e.g. from proteins, carbohydrates, biopolymers, organic polymers or mixtures thereof, for example to suppress or prevent the non-specific binding of sample components to the particle surface, or to achieve improvements in terms of suspension stability, storage stability, shaping stability or resistance to UV radiation, for example Light, microbes or other destructive agents.
