Description

本発明は、抗イムノコンプレックス抗体を用いた測定方法に関するものである。 The present invention relates to a measurement method using an anti-immunocomplex antibody.

低分子化合物であるハプテンは、通常、競合法とよばれる免疫測定方法によって測定される。競合法は、試料中に含まれるハプテンと、放射性同位元素や酵素などで標識した標識ハプテンとを、一定量の抗ハプテン抗体に対して競合的に反応させる方法である。試料中に含まれるハプテン量が多くなると、標識ハプテンが抗ハプテン抗体へ結合する量が低下する。このことから、標識ハプテンが抗ハプテン抗体へ結合する割合を基にして、試料中に含まれるハプテン量を推定することができる。競合法における測定感度は、用いられる抗ハプテン抗体の親和定数に依存する。しかし親和定数の高い抗ハプテン抗体を得ることは困難であり、そのため、ごく微量のハプテンを測定することは極めて困難であった(非特許文献1)。 Haptens, which are low molecular weight compounds, are usually measured by an immunoassay method called a competitive method. The competitive method is a method in which a hapten contained in a sample and a labeled hapten labeled with a radioisotope or an enzyme are competitively reacted with a certain amount of anti-hapten antibody. As the amount of hapten contained in the sample increases, the amount of labeled hapten binding to the anti-hapten antibody decreases. From this, the amount of hapten contained in the sample can be estimated based on the ratio of the labeled hapten binding to the anti-hapten antibody. The measurement sensitivity in the competitive method depends on the affinity constant of the anti-hapten antibody used. However, it is difficult to obtain an anti-hapten antibody having a high affinity constant, and therefore it is extremely difficult to measure a very small amount of hapten (Non-Patent Document 1).

このような競合法による免疫測定の課題を解決し得る測定方法として、抗イムノコンプレックス抗体を用いた非競合型の免疫測定法が提案されている。抗イムノコンプレックス抗体を用いたハプテン測定系は、例えば以下に示す方法で行なわれ、試料中に含まれるハプテンを競合法によらず測定することができる。
(1)プレート等に抗イムノコンプレックス抗体を固定化する。
(2)標的ハプテンを含む試料と、酵素で標識した抗ハプテンン抗体を混合した後、(1)に添加する。
(3)過剰量の標識抗ハプテン抗体を洗浄し分離する。
(4)標識酵素に対する基質を添加し、酵素と基質の反応に由来するシグナルを検出する。
抗イムノコンプレックス抗体は、ハプテンと抗ハプテン抗体からなる免疫複合体に選択的に結合するため、試料中に含まれるハプテン量の増加に伴って、シグナルの増加が観測される。
A non-competitive immunoassay method using an anti-immunocomplex antibody has been proposed as a measurement method that can solve the problem of immunoassay by such a competitive method. The hapten measurement system using the anti-immunocomplex antibody is carried out by, for example, the method shown below, and the hapten contained in the sample can be measured without competing methods.
(1) Immobilize the anti-immunocomplex antibody on a plate or the like.
(2) The sample containing the target hapten and the enzyme-labeled anti-hapten antibody are mixed and then added to (1).
(3) Excessive amount of labeled anti-hapten antibody is washed and separated.
(4) A substrate for the labeling enzyme is added, and a signal derived from the reaction between the enzyme and the substrate is detected.
Since the anti-immunocomplex antibody selectively binds to an immune complex consisting of a hapten and an anti-hapten antibody, an increase in signal is observed as the amount of hapten contained in the sample increases.

抗イムノコンプレックス抗体を用いた測定系の具体例として特許文献1に示すようなエストラジオール(E2)測定系が上げられる。特許文献1に開示された技術では、用手法により酵素標識抗E2抗体とE2を含む測定対象液を事前に混合した後、抗イムノコンプレックス抗体が固定化された担体と反応させる方法であった。特許文献1に記載の方法では、類似物質に対する反応性(交叉反応性)が低いことが好ましい。 As a specific example of the measurement system using the anti-immunocomplex antibody, an estradiol (E2) measurement system as shown in Patent Document 1 can be mentioned. The technique disclosed in Patent Document 1 is a method in which an enzyme-labeled anti-E2 antibody and a solution to be measured containing E2 are mixed in advance by a conventional method, and then the anti-immunocomplex antibody is reacted with an immobilized carrier. In the method described in Patent Document 1, it is preferable that the reactivity (cross-reactivity) with a similar substance is low.

以下、本発明を詳細に説明する。 Hereinafter, the present invention will be described in detail.

(1)ハプテン
本発明におけるハプテンは、通常は競合法により測定されるような分子量の小さい物質であれば特に限定はなく、一例として、トリヨードサイロニン、チロキシン、3,5−ジヨード−L−チロニン等の甲状腺ホルモンや、エストロン、エストラジオール、エストリオール、プロゲステロン、コルチゾール等のステロイドホルモンがあげられる。特に本発明ではステロイドホルモンが好ましく、その中でもE2が更に好ましい。また甲状腺ホルモンの中ではチロキシンが好ましい。
(1) Hapten The hapten in the present invention is not particularly limited as long as it is a substance having a small molecular weight as usually measured by a competitive method. As an example, triiodothyronine, thyroxine, 3,5-diiodo-L- Examples include thyroid hormones such as thyronine and steroid hormones such as estrone, estradiol, estriol, progesterone and cortisol. In particular, steroid hormones are preferable in the present invention, and E2 is more preferable among them. Among the thyroid hormones, thyroxine is preferable.

(2)測定対象溶液
測定対象溶液としては、測定対象のハプテンを含有するものであれば特に限定されるものではない。例えば人の血液(全血、血漿、血清等)、尿などの体液が好ましい。
(2) Solution to be measured The solution to be measured is not particularly limited as long as it contains a hapten to be measured. For example, human blood (whole blood, plasma, serum, etc.), body fluids such as urine are preferable.

(3)抗ハプテンウサギモノクローナル抗体
本発明では、抗ハプテン抗体としてウサギモノクローナル抗体を用いる。その理由は、ウサギモノクローナル抗体は、マウスモノクローナル抗体と比較して、ハプテンに対して高い親和性を有するものが得られるからである。
(3) Anti-Hapten Rabbit Monoclonal Antibody In the present invention, a rabbit monoclonal antibody is used as the anti-hapten antibody. The reason is that a rabbit monoclonal antibody can be obtained having a high affinity for a hapten as compared with a mouse monoclonal antibody.

(4)抗イムノコンプレックス抗体
抗イムノコンプレックス抗体は、ハプテンに対する抗体ではなく、ハプテンに対する抗体への抗体でもなく、ハプテンとそれに対する抗体との複合体に対する抗体である。本発明においては、抗イムノコンプレックス抗体はウサギモノクローナル抗体とハプテンの複合体に対する特異的な抗体を取得する観点から、ウサギ以外の動物種から得ることが好ましい。動物種としてはマウス、ラット、ヤギ、ヒツジなどを例示できる。本発明においては特にマウスから抗イムノコンプレックスモノクローナル抗体を取得することが好ましい。
(4) Anti-immunocomplex antibody An anti-immunocomplex antibody is neither an antibody against a hapten nor an antibody against an antibody against a hapten, but an antibody against a complex of a hapten and an antibody against it. In the present invention, the anti-immunocomplex antibody is preferably obtained from an animal species other than rabbit from the viewpoint of obtaining a specific antibody against a complex of a rabbit monoclonal antibody and a hapten. Examples of animal species include mice, rats, goats, and sheep. In the present invention, it is particularly preferable to obtain an anti-immunocomplex monoclonal antibody from a mouse.

(5)水不溶性担体
本発明において水不溶性担体は特に限定されるものではないが、例えば、樹脂、ガラス、ポリスチレン、などの微粒子、粒子、ビーズ、プレート等が用いられる。水不溶性担体は、抗ハプテンウサギモノクローナル抗体及び抗イムノコンプレックス抗体のいずれか一方が固定化される。固定化の方法には特に限定はなく、また直接固定化してもよく又は間接的に(例えばアビジン−ビオチン結合等を介して)固定化してもよい。
(5) Water-insoluble carrier In the present invention, the water-insoluble carrier is not particularly limited, and for example, fine particles such as resin, glass, and polystyrene, particles, beads, and plates are used. As the water-insoluble carrier, either an anti-hapten rabbit monoclonal antibody or an anti-immunocomplex antibody is immobilized. The method of immobilization is not particularly limited, and may be immobilized directly or indirectly (for example, via an avidin-biotin bond or the like).

(6)標識
本発明において標識は特に限定されるものではないが、例えば酵素、放射性同位元素、色素等が用いられる。酵素としては、好ましくはアルカリホスファターゼ等が使用できる。標識は、抗ハプテンウサギモノクローナル抗体及び抗イムノコンプレックス抗体の他方(水不溶性担体に固定化されない方)に結合される。標識の方法には特に限定はなく、また直接標識してもよく又は間接的に(例えばアビジン−ビオチン結合等を介して)標識してもよい。
(6) Labeling In the present invention, labeling is not particularly limited, but for example, enzymes, radioisotopes, dyes and the like are used. As the enzyme, alkaline phosphatase or the like can be preferably used. The label is attached to the other of the anti-hapten rabbit monoclonal antibody and the anti-immunocomplex antibody (the one that is not immobilized on the water-insoluble carrier). The labeling method is not particularly limited, and may be labeled directly or indirectly (for example, via an avidin-biotin bond).

(7)交叉反応
交叉反応は、測定対象物質の類似物質(交叉反応性物質)が測定対象物質に対する抗体と反応することである。免疫測定試薬において交叉反応性の大きな測定系を使用した場合、交叉反応により測定結果が偽高値となる。通常競合法を用いて測定するハプテンを、抗イムノコンプレックス抗体を用いてサンドイッチ型のアッセイを行った場合、サンドイッチ型アッセイの方が、交叉反応性が大きくなる場合があることを、本発明者らは見出した。そしてこの点について本発明者らが検討した結果、サンドイッチ型アッセイを行う場合、競合法に比べて多くの抗ハプテン抗体を用いることが一因と考えられた。また、抗ハプテン抗体とハプテンとの免疫複合体、抗ハプテン抗体と交叉反応性物質との複合体の表面構造が同一であり、抗イムノコンプレックス抗体がどちらも認識してしまうことも原因として考えられた。
(7) Cross-reaction A cross-reaction is a reaction in which a substance similar to a substance to be measured (cross-reactive substance) reacts with an antibody against the substance to be measured. When a measurement system having high cross-reactivity is used in the immunoassay reagent, the measurement result becomes a false high value due to the cross-reactivity. The present inventors have stated that when a hapten usually measured by a competitive method is subjected to a sandwich-type assay using an anti-immunocomplex antibody, the sandwich-type assay may have higher cross-reactivity. Found. As a result of the investigation by the present inventors on this point, it was considered that one of the reasons is that more anti-hapten antibodies are used when performing the sandwich type assay as compared with the competitive method. Another possible cause is that the surface structure of the immune complex between the anti-hapten antibody and the hapten and the complex between the anti-hapten antibody and the cross-reactive substance are the same, and the anti-immunocomplex antibody recognizes both of them. It was.

(8)吸収抗体
吸収抗体は、測定対象のハプテンにはほとんど反応せず、交叉反応性物質に特異的に反応する抗体である。測定対象ハプテンへの反応性は全くないことが好ましいが、測定感度に影響のでない範囲の弱い反応性を有していても問題ない。具体的には、吸収抗体の測定対象ハプテンへの反応性は、交叉反応性物質への反応性の約1/100以下であることが好ましい。
(8) Absorbing antibody An absorbing antibody is an antibody that hardly reacts with the hapten to be measured and specifically reacts with a cross-reactive substance. It is preferable that there is no reactivity with the hapten to be measured, but there is no problem even if it has a weak reactivity within a range that does not affect the measurement sensitivity. Specifically, the reactivity of the absorbed antibody to the hapten to be measured is preferably about 1/100 or less of the reactivity to the cross-reactive substance.

(9)工程(i)〜(iii)
上述の工程(i)〜(iii)は、この順に行われることが好ましいが、工程(i)(ii)を同時に行ってもよい。また工程(i)と(ii)の間や、工程(ii)と(iii)の間に他の工程が存在してもよい。例えば間に分離/洗浄工程を有することにより、測定感度を高めることができる。
(9) Steps (i) to (iii)
The above steps (i) to (iii) are preferably performed in this order, but steps (i) and (ii) may be performed at the same time. Further, another step may exist between the steps (i) and (ii) or between the steps (ii) and (iii). For example, by having a separation / cleaning step in between, the measurement sensitivity can be increased.

(10)自動分析系
本発明の方法では、自動分析系、例えば生物試料分析 Vol.39,No4(2016)に示されるような、全自動免疫測定装置を用いることが好ましい。例えば図1に示すような2つのセルを有する試薬カップを用いて以下のような自動分析を行うことが好ましい。
(10) Automatic analysis system In the method of the present invention, an automatic analysis system, for example, biological sample analysis Vol. It is preferable to use a fully automatic immunoassay device as shown in 39, No. 4 (2016). For example, it is preferable to perform the following automatic analysis using a reagent cup having two cells as shown in FIG.

抗イムノコンプレックス抗体を用いて対象ハプテンを測定する際に、交叉反応性の低い方法が望まれる。本発明の測定方法では、抗ハプテン抗体と測定対象ハプテンとの反応の際に、吸収抗体を共存させることで、交叉反応を抑えた測定系が提供可能である。 When measuring a target hapten using an anti-immunocomplex antibody, a method with low cross-reactivity is desired. In the measuring method of the present invention, it is possible to provide a measuring system in which the crossover reaction is suppressed by coexisting the absorbing antibody when the anti-hapten antibody and the hapten to be measured react.
