Description
本発明は、簡易イムノアッセイ法を用いた検体の簡易検査法において、検体を浮遊し、希釈し、且つ検体中の被検出物と捕捉物質の間で抗原抗体反応をさせるために用いる検体浮遊液に関する。 The present invention relates to a sample suspension used for floating and diluting a sample and causing an antigen-antibody reaction between a detected substance and a capture substance in the sample in a simple test method for a sample using a simple immunoassay method. .
近年、抗原抗体反応や酵素反応等を利用した、ウイルスや細菌等の病原体への感染、妊娠の有無、血糖値など様々な測定項目を数分から数十分の短時間で検出あるいは定量する簡易検査試薬またはキットが開発されている。病原体構成蛋白質、ヒト繊毛性ゴナドトロピン(hCG)、血糖等が検出あるいは定量の対象である。簡易検査試薬の多くは、特別な設備を必要とせず操作も簡単で安価であるという特徴を有しており、例えば、妊娠診断のための簡易検査試薬はOTCとして一般薬局で販売されている。また病原体への感染を測定する簡易検査試薬は、他の検査試薬と異なり、大病院や医療検査センター以外にも一般の病院や診療所で広く使用されている。特にインフルエンザウイルスについては、その感染の有無を患者が最初に訪れる医療機関で、患者から採取した検体についてその場で感染の有無や何型に感染しているかが判明すれば、症状が早期のうちに治療措置を施すことができるため、簡易検査試薬の医療における重要性は益々高まってきている。 In recent years, simple tests that detect or quantify various measurement items such as infection with pathogens such as viruses and bacteria, presence of pregnancy, blood glucose level, etc. in a few minutes to tens of minutes using antigen-antibody reactions and enzyme reactions Reagents or kits have been developed. Pathogen constituent proteins, human ciliary gonadotropin (hCG), blood glucose, and the like are targets for detection or quantification. Many of the simple test reagents are characterized by the fact that they do not require special equipment, are easy to operate, and are inexpensive. For example, simple test reagents for pregnancy diagnosis are sold as OTC at general pharmacies. Unlike other test reagents, simple test reagents for measuring infection with pathogens are widely used in general hospitals and clinics in addition to large hospitals and medical test centers. In particular, for influenza viruses, the first time a patient visits a hospital for the presence or absence of the infection, if the specimen collected from the patient is identified on the spot whether it is infected or what type of infection, the symptoms are Therefore, the importance of simple test reagents in medical care is increasing.
このような検査を行う際に、ウイルスや細菌等の病原体の感染を体液等の検体又は該検体試料を希釈した溶液等を使用するケースが多いが、該検体試料中には生体由来の成分が多く含まれ、これが抗原抗体反応を利用した検査に影響を与えることが知られている(非特許文献1参照)。例えば、インフルエンザウイルス感染等の呼吸器感染症では、鼻腔ぬぐい液、鼻腔吸引液、鼻腔洗浄液等を検体試料として検査を行うことがあるが、これらの検体試料中には生体由来成分として、ムチンに代表される粘性ムコ多糖類および血球成分が含まれる(非特許文献1参照)。さらに病原体や人体組織の構成物も含まれると考えられる。検体試料中のこれらの成分は検査に影響を与えることがあり、これはマトリックス効果と呼ばれることがある(非特許文献2参照)。マトリックス効果は大きく二つに分けることができる。一つは、偽陽性、もう一つは、偽陰性である。例えば、コロイド凝集法を測定原理として用いた検体の検査方法に用いる、検体を懸濁もしくは浮遊する検体浮遊液の組成物として、界面活性剤を含み、pHが3〜8であることを特徴とする検体浮遊液組成物が知られている(特許文献1参照)。しかしながらこの方法を含む従来の方法では、偽陽性を低減する効果が述べられているが、偽陰性については示されておらず、前記のマトリックス効果の低減という観点からは十分な効果が得られていない。また検体浮遊液に検体を浮遊させて放置すると、時間の経過によって前記のマトリックス効果による偽陰性の発生が見られる場合がある。従って、偽陰性と偽陽性を合わせたマトリックス効果を低減し、より安定して高精度の診断を行なうことが求められている。 In such a test, in many cases, a specimen such as a body fluid or a solution obtained by diluting the specimen sample is used to infect a pathogen such as a virus or a bacterium, but a component derived from a living body is contained in the specimen sample. It is known that many of these are included, and this affects the examination using the antigen-antibody reaction (see Non-Patent Document 1). For example, in respiratory infections such as influenza virus infection, nasal swabs, nasal aspirates, nasal lavage fluids, etc. may be examined as sample samples. Representative viscous mucopolysaccharides and blood cell components are included (see Non-Patent Document 1). In addition, pathogens and human tissue components are also considered to be included. These components in the specimen sample may affect the test, which is sometimes called a matrix effect (see Non-Patent Document 2). The matrix effect can be roughly divided into two. One is false positive and the other is false negative. For example, as a composition of a specimen suspension for suspending or floating a specimen, which is used in a specimen testing method using a colloidal aggregation method as a measurement principle, the composition includes a surfactant and has a pH of 3 to 8. A specimen suspension composition is known (see Patent Document 1). However, the conventional method including this method describes the effect of reducing false positives, but false negatives are not shown, and a sufficient effect is obtained from the viewpoint of reducing the matrix effect. Absent. In addition, when the specimen is suspended and left in the specimen suspension, false negatives due to the matrix effect may be observed over time. Therefore, it is required to reduce the matrix effect that combines false negatives and false positives and perform more stable and highly accurate diagnosis.
抗原抗体反応を利用した、ウイルスや細菌等の病原体への感染、妊娠の有無、血糖値など様々な測定項目を数分から数時間の短時間で検出あるいは定量する簡易イムノアッセイ法において、使用される体液等の検体に含まれる生体由来成分のアッセイへの影響を抑制する。 Body fluids used in simple immunoassay methods that detect or quantify various measurement items such as infection with pathogens such as viruses and bacteria, presence of pregnancy, blood glucose level, etc. in a short time of minutes to hours using antigen-antibody reactions This suppresses the influence of biological components contained in specimens such as those on the assay.
本発明者らは、前記の課題を解決するために鋭意検討を行った結果、特定の組成を有する検体浮遊液を使用することで、極めて良好な検査結果を得ることができることを見出し、本発明に至った。
即ち本発明は、1〜10(v/v)%の濃度の哺乳動物の正常血清を含有し、pHが4.5〜6.5の範囲である簡易イムノアッセイ用検体浮遊液である。更にpHは5.0〜6.0の範囲であることが好ましい。また、哺乳動物の正常血清を3〜5(v/v)%含有することが好ましい。更に本発明の検体浮遊液は、免疫学的特異反応による簡易メンブレンイムノアッセイ用の検体浮遊液やELISA用の検体浮遊液として好ましい。また本発明は、前記の検体浮遊液を用いる簡易メンブレンイムノアッセイ法である。
As a result of intensive studies to solve the above problems, the present inventors have found that extremely good test results can be obtained by using a sample suspension having a specific composition. It came to.
That is, the present invention is a simple immunoassay sample suspension containing normal mammalian serum at a concentration of 1 to 10 (v / v)% and having a pH in the range of 4.5 to 6.5. Furthermore, the pH is preferably in the range of 5.0 to 6.0. Moreover, it is preferable to contain 3-5 (v / v)% of normal mammal serum. Furthermore, the specimen suspension of the present invention is preferable as a specimen suspension for simple membrane immunoassay or a specimen suspension for ELISA by immunological specific reaction. Further, the present invention is a simple membrane immunoassay method using the above-mentioned specimen suspension.
以上のように本発明の検体浮遊液を用いることにより、体液等の検体に含まれる生体由来成分の検査への影響を抑制し、検査で起こりうる偽陽性および偽陰性のいずれも著しく減らすことが可能となり、より高精度の診断ができるようになる。特に、検体と検体浮遊液を混合した後の時間の経過によって発生する偽陰性や、感度限界値に近い希釈率(希釈限界値)において発生する偽陰性など、検査における不確定な要素により発生しえる偽陰性を確実に抑制することができ、信頼性の高い簡易メンブレンアッセイ法及びキットを提供する。 As described above, by using the sample suspension of the present invention, it is possible to suppress the influence on the test of a biological component contained in a sample such as a body fluid, and to significantly reduce both false positives and false negatives that can occur in the test. This makes it possible to perform more accurate diagnosis. In particular, it occurs due to uncertain factors in the test, such as false negatives that occur over time after mixing the specimen and specimen suspension, and false negatives that occur at dilution rates close to the sensitivity limit value (dilution limit value). A reliable membrane assay method and kit that can reliably suppress false negatives are provided.
簡易イムノアッセイにおいて、生体由来の成分に起因する偽陽性および偽陰性の発生のメカニズムは単純ではないが、偽陽性の仮説としては、生体由来成分が非特異反応により固相化された捕捉物質に付着し、その位置で標識試薬の凝集が発生することによると考えられる。また、偽陰性の仮説としては、生体由来成分が非特異反応により被検出物に付着して、標識試薬または固相化された捕捉物質と被検出物との間の抗原抗体反応を阻害することによると考えられる。これらの偽陽性や偽陰性による誤診断を減少させる方法として、検体浮遊液のpHを前記の範囲に設定するとこれらの発生は減少するが、偽陽性の抑制は必ずしも十分ではなく、生体由来物質のマトリックス効果を総合的に抑制することはできない。本発明の検体浮遊液は、pHが前記の範囲でありかつ哺乳動物の正常血清を含有しており、この存在によって、偽陽性も大幅に抑制され、相乗的に生体由来物質のマトリックス効果を抑制することができる。 In simple immunoassay, the mechanism of false positives and false negatives due to biologically derived components is not simple, but the false positive hypothesis is that biologically-derived components are attached to a trapped substance immobilized by a nonspecific reaction. However, it is considered that the aggregation of the labeling reagent occurs at that position. In addition, the false negative hypothesis is that the biological component adheres to the detection target by a non-specific reaction and inhibits the antigen-antibody reaction between the labeled reagent or the immobilized capture substance and the detection target. It is thought that. As a method of reducing these false positives and false negatives, the occurrence of these decreases when the pH of the sample suspension is set within the above range, but the suppression of false positives is not necessarily sufficient, and The matrix effect cannot be comprehensively suppressed. The specimen suspension of the present invention has a pH in the above range and contains normal mammalian serum, and its presence significantly suppresses false positives and synergistically suppresses the matrix effect of biological substances. can do.
<検体浮遊液>
本発明の簡易イムノアッセイ用検体浮遊液はm1〜10(v/v)%の濃度の哺乳動物の正常血清を含有し、pHが4.5〜6.5の範囲であることを特徴とする。
本発明において、“哺乳動物の正常血清”はウイルスや細菌に感染していない哺乳動物より採取した血清のことを言う。例えば、“感染血清”は本発明の“哺乳動物の正常血清”には含まれない。哺乳動物の正常血清は特に限定されるものではないが、例えば、ヒツジ、ヤギ、馬、牛、マウス、ラット、ウサギ等の哺乳動物の正常血清を挙げることが出来る。中でも正常ウサギ血清が、容易に入手できる点で好ましい。哺乳動物の正常血清は市販されているものを適宜使用してもよく、また、従来知られている血清調製方法により哺乳動物から採取してもよい。市販物としては例えばフナコシ株式会社から入手可能である。

<Sample suspension>
The specimen suspension for simple immunoassay of the present invention contains normal mammalian serum at a concentration of m1 to 10 (v / v)%, and has a pH in the range of 4.5 to 6.5.
In the present invention, “normal mammal serum” refers to serum collected from mammals not infected with viruses or bacteria. For example, “infected serum” is not included in “normal mammalian serum” of the present invention. The normal serum of the mammal is not particularly limited, and examples thereof include normal serum of mammals such as sheep, goat, horse, cow, mouse, rat, and rabbit. Among these, normal rabbit serum is preferable because it can be easily obtained. As the normal serum of mammals, commercially available ones may be used as appropriate, or they may be collected from mammals by a conventionally known serum preparation method. As a commercial item, it can obtain from Funakoshi Co., Ltd., for example.
The mammalian serum can be used as it is or after being degreased. The concentration needs to be a concentration that does not inhibit the measurement system, and the concentration range is 1 to 10 (v / v)%, and preferably 3 to 5 (v / v)%. If the amount is less than 1 (v / v)%, the above effect cannot be obtained.

The effect which suppresses the influence which the component derived from a biological body has on the test | inspection of this invention can be acquired. More preferably, the pH is in the range of 5-6. If the pH is less than 4.5, the activity of a capture substance such as an antibody used in the present invention is reduced, and the capture power of the detection object is reduced, so that the effect of the present invention cannot be obtained. Moreover, when pH exceeds 6.5, the influence which the component derived from a living body has on a test | inspection will become large, and a false positive and a false negative will generate | occur | produce.

<Simple immunoassay method>
In the present invention, the specimen suspension refers to a liquid medium used in a simple immunoassay method, and is a solution for diluting and / or extracting a specimen that can contain a specimen to be suspended, and at the same time, a specimen to be measured in the specimen. It is a solution that serves as a field for causing an antigen-antibody reaction between the substance and the capture substance. The simple immunoassay method shown here refers to a simple membrane immunoassay method, an ELISA (Enzyme Linked Immuno-Sorbent Assay) method, and a method similar to ELISA. The specimen suspension of the present invention is preferably used for simple membrane immunoassay.
簡易メンブレンイムノアッセイ法とは、メンブレンを備えた簡易的なアッセイ装置を用いて行う方法で、特別な設備を必要とせず、操作も簡単で大病院や医療検査センター以外の一般の病院や診療所で短時間で簡易的に行なうことのできる検査方法である。簡易メンブレンイムノアッセイ法は、2つに大別でき、1つはイムノクロマト法(あるいはラテラルフロー法)、もう1つはフロースルー法である。いずれの方法も、固相した捕捉物質を用いて、検体に含まれる被検出物を、抗原抗体反応によって捕捉し検出する方法であるが、前者は被検出物を含む試料をストリップ状のメンブレンの長手方向に展開するのに対し、後者はメンブレンの面に対して垂直方向に展開する方法である。これらの方法は公知の一般的方法を用いることができ、所謂標識試薬を用いたサンドイッチイムノアッセイ法等の方法で、被検出物を検出することができる。 The simple membrane immunoassay method is a method that uses a simple assay device equipped with a membrane, does not require special equipment, is easy to operate, and is used in general hospitals and clinics other than large hospitals and medical examination centers. This inspection method can be easily performed in a short time. The simple membrane immunoassay method can be roughly divided into two, one is an immunochromatography method (or a lateral flow method), and the other is a flow-through method. Both methods capture and detect a target substance contained in a specimen by an antigen-antibody reaction using a solid-phase capture substance. In the former method, a sample containing a target substance is removed from a strip-shaped membrane. While the latter is developed in the longitudinal direction, the latter is a method of developing in a direction perpendicular to the surface of the membrane. As these methods, known general methods can be used, and a detection target can be detected by a method such as a sandwich immunoassay method using a so-called labeling reagent.
ELISA法とは、抗原抗体反応を原理とし、抗体または抗原を酵素で標識することにより被検出物を高感度に分析する方法である。ELISA法には様々な方式があるが、いずれも捕捉物質を固相化したプラスチック製のプレート等を用意して被検出物を捕捉し、捕捉された被測定物を該酵素標識抗体または抗原で検出するものである。特に抗原蛋白質の検出方法として、検体中の抗原蛋白質或いは逆に特定の抗原蛋白質に結合する抗体を検出する分析方法として広く用いられている。複数の検体を同時にアッセイでき、数時間で結果を得られる検査方法である。ELISAに類する方法として、蛍光物質を標識に用いたFIA法(Fluorescence Immunoassay、蛍光免疫測定法)、発光物質を標識に用いたCLIA法(Chemiluminescence Immunoassay、化学発光免疫測定法)や放射性同位物質を標識に用いたRIA法(Radioimmunoassay、放射免疫測定法)等がある。 The ELISA method is a method for analyzing an object to be detected with high sensitivity by labeling an antibody or an antigen with an enzyme based on an antigen-antibody reaction. There are various types of ELISA methods, all of which prepare a plastic plate or the like on which a capture substance is solid-phased, capture the detected object, and capture the detected object with the enzyme-labeled antibody or antigen. It is to detect. In particular, as an antigen protein detection method, it is widely used as an analysis method for detecting an antigen protein in a specimen or, conversely, an antibody that binds to a specific antigen protein. This is a test method that can assay multiple specimens simultaneously and obtain results in a few hours. As a method similar to ELISA, FIA method (Fluorescence Immunoassay) using a fluorescent substance for labeling, CLIA method (Chemiluminescence Immunoassay, chemiluminescence immunoassay) using a luminescent substance for labeling, and radioisotope labeling RIA method (Radioimmunoassay, radioimmunoassay) used in
本発明の検体浮遊液は、前記のいずれの方法においても抗体および抗原による免疫学的特異抗原抗体反応を行う際の媒体として用いるものであり、特に被検出物を含み得る検体試料を浮遊させて希釈および/または抽出するための検体浮遊液として用いることができる。
本発明者等は、前記の簡易イムノアッセイにおいて、検体試料に含まれる生体由来の成分に起因する偽陽性や偽陰性の発生を極力抑制するという課題を解決するために鋭意検討した結果、検体浮遊液のpHを特定の範囲に設定し、かつ特定濃度の哺乳動物の正常血清を含有させることにより、検査において生体由来の物質の影響で発生する偽陽性及び偽陰性の発生のいずれも著しく抑制できることを見出し、本発明に到達した。
The specimen suspension of the present invention is used as a medium for performing an immunologically specific antigen-antibody reaction with an antibody and an antigen in any of the above-described methods, and in particular, a specimen sample that may contain an object to be detected is suspended. It can be used as a specimen suspension for dilution and / or extraction.
As a result of intensive investigations to solve the problem of suppressing the occurrence of false positives and false negatives due to biologically-derived components contained in the specimen sample in the simple immunoassay, the present inventors have conducted a specimen suspension. It is possible to significantly suppress both false positives and false negatives that occur due to the influence of substances derived from living organisms in the test by setting the pH of the product to a specific range and containing normal serum of a specific concentration of mammals.

(3) Results The detection results using each suspension liquid listed in Table 1 are summarized in Table 2 below.
表2において、“+”は明確な発色(陽性)を意味し、“−”は発色が全く見られない(陰性)を意味する。また、“±”は、判定部に何らかの発色が見られるが、明確な発色ではないため結果が不明であることを意味している。また、表2においてセルが着色されている箇所は、本来陽性(+)と判定されるべきにも関わらず発色が見られない(−)“偽陰性”を意味する。 In Table 2, “+” means clear color development (positive), and “−” means no color development at all (negative). Further, “±” means that some color is seen in the determination unit, but the result is unknown because it is not clear color development. Further, in Table 2, a portion where the cell is colored means “−”, “false negative” in which color development is not observed although it should be determined as positive (+) originally.
鼻腔吸引液を加えない浮遊液番号1(pH8.0)を用いた対照実験では、A型インフルエンザウイルス培養液の100、200、400及び800倍希釈した試料は明確に陽性と判定され、1600倍希釈した試料は陰性と判定された。これは800倍を越える希釈濃度においてウイルスの検出限界となったためと考えられる。B型インフルエンザウイルス培養液においても希釈率400倍を越えると検出限界となった。このような検出限界に近い希釈倍率において、検体浮遊液のpHを6.5以下にすることで、鼻腔吸引液由来のマトリックス効果による感度低下をかなり軽減できた(参考3、5〜11)。しかしながら完全にマトリックス効果(偽陰性)を無くすことは出来なかった。 In a control experiment using suspension No. 1 (pH 8.0) to which no nasal aspirate was added, samples diluted 100, 200, 400 and 800 times the influenza A virus culture were clearly determined to be positive and 1600 times. Diluted samples were judged negative. This is probably because the virus detection limit was reached at a dilution concentration exceeding 800 times. In the case of influenza B virus culture, the detection limit was reached when the dilution ratio exceeded 400 times. By reducing the pH of the sample suspension to 6.5 or less at such a dilution rate close to the detection limit, the sensitivity decrease due to the matrix effect derived from the nasal aspirate was significantly reduced (References 3 to 5-11). However, the matrix effect (false negative) could not be completely eliminated.

Further, in Table 4, a portion where the cell is colored means “−”, “false negative” in which color development is not observed although it should be determined as positive (+) originally.
正常ウサギ血清(NRS)を添加しない浮遊液番号6の浮遊液を用いた場合には、10分以上静置した試料では、A型及びB型いずれの場合にも生体由来成分に起因すると考えられる偽陰性が見られた(実験番号1(比較))。一方、哺乳動物の正常血清として正常ウサギ血清(NRS)を1〜5(v/v)%添加した検体浮遊液を用いると、10分以上静置した試料の検出で発生する偽陰性を抑制できることが明らかとなった(実験番号2〜4)。特に、NRSを3〜5(v/v)%添加した場合の抑制効果が強かった(実験番号3〜4)。 In the case of using the suspension of suspension No. 6 to which normal rabbit serum (NRS) is not added, it is considered that the sample that is allowed to stand for 10 minutes or more is caused by biological components in both cases of type A and type B. A false negative was observed (Experiment No. 1 (comparison)). On the other hand, if a specimen suspension containing 1 to 5 (v / v)% normal rabbit serum (NRS) is used as normal serum for mammals, false negatives generated by detection of samples left for 10 minutes or more can be suppressed. Became clear (experiment numbers 2 to 4). In particular, the inhibitory effect when 3 to 5 (v / v)% of NRS was added was strong (experiment numbers 3 to 4).

また、孵化鶏卵培養インフルエンザウイルスを添加せずに試験したところ、NRSを添加することで、マトリックス効果(偽陽性)を抑制できた(表9、実験番号16及び18)。
pHおよび哺乳動物の正常血清による効果は、どちらかでは不十分であり、両方を組み合わせることで、マトリックス効果(偽陰性及び偽陽性)を完全に抑制できることが明らかになった。
By reducing the pH of the specimen suspension to 6.5 or less, the sensitivity decrease due to the matrix effect derived from the nasal aspirate, that is, false negatives, could be reduced. In addition, normal rabbit serum was reduced to 5 (v / v)% under this condition. By adding, the matrix effect (false negative) could be suppressed completely (Table 7, experiment number 10).
The stability of the body fluid sample after suspension was measured at a dilution rate close to the detection limit. By using a suspension containing pH 6.0 and normal rabbit serum 5 (v / v)%, the matrix effect ( (False negative) was suppressed, and it became clear that high-accuracy testing can be performed in high sensitivity and in a short time (Table 8, experiment number 14).
Moreover, when it tested without adding the hatching hen egg culture influenza virus, the matrix effect (false positive) was able to be suppressed by adding NRS (Table 9, experiment number 16 and 18).
The effects of pH and normal mammalian serum were insufficient for either, and it became clear that the combination of both could completely suppress matrix effects (false negatives and false positives).
