Abstract
Additives capable of controlling the reaction rate between substrate and enzyme to form a dye in enzyme assays with absorbance, chemiluminescence, and fluorescence are effective tools for optimizing enzyme assays. A dye can be formed rapidly from the reaction between enzyme and substrate in the presence of a catalyst. Using relatively high concentration of dye formed from the rapid reaction, trace levels of analytical materials can be quantified using absorbance, chemiluminecence and fluorescence detection. A dye can be formed from a relatively slow reaction between enzyme and substrate in the presence of a surfactant such as Triton® X-100 and β-cyclodextrin. Using relatively low concentration of dye from the slow reaction, a high concentration of analytical material can be quantified without any dilution using absorbance, chemiluminescence, and fluorescence.
Description
- This application is a divisional application of co-pending U.S. application Ser. No. 13/422,650, filed on Mar. 16, 2012, which claims priority under 35 U.S.C. §119(e) to U.S. application No. 61/454,026, filed on Mar. 18, 2011, all of which are hereby expressly incorporated by reference into the present application.
- This invention involves enzyme assays for quantifying biomarkers and toxic materials using various detection methods such as absorbance, chemiluminescence and fluorescence.
- Enzyme assay methods are widely applied in various fields such as biochemistry, clinical chemistry, homeland security, molecular biology, pathology, and toxicology. The sensitivity of enzyme assays capable of sensing analyte existing in a small volume of a sample is dependent on various factors such as the components as well as concentration of buffer solution, incubation time, the reactivity between enzyme and substrate, temperature, and detection methOd (e.g., absorbance, chemiluminescence, fluorescence). It is possible to rapidly quantify trace levels of analytical materials when these factors are optimized.
- The condition of each factor can be optimized independently, but these factors interact in a complementary manner to enhance the accuracy, precision, reproducibility, and sensitivity. For example, it is well-known that chemiluminescence detection is more sensitive than absorbance and fluorescence, which have relatively high background noise. An enzyme assay with chemiluminescence detection is faster than those with absorbance and fluorescence because the incubation time of the former is shorter than that of the latter. Thus, it is desirable to be able to optimize enzyme assay methods to more easily and rapidly detect low-level concentrations of analytes as well as to be able to quantify higher concentrations.
- The present invention provides additives (e.g., catalyst, surfactant) capable of controlling the reaction rate between substrate and enzyme to form a dye in enzyme assays with absorbance, chemiluminescence, and fluorescence. A dye can be formed rapidly from the reaction between enzyme and substrate in the presence of a catalyst such as p-Iodophenol and 4-(1,2,4-triazol-1-yl) phenol. Using relatively high concentration of dye formed from the rapid reaction, trace levels of analytical materials can be quantified using absorbance, chemiluminecence and fluorescence detection. A dye can be formed from the relatively slow reaction between enzyme and substrate in the presence of a surfactant such as Triton® X-100 surfactant and ⊕-cyclodextrin. Using relatively low concentration of dye from the slow reaction, a high concentration of analytical material can be quantified without any dilution using absorbance, chemiluminescence, and fluorescence.

Quantification of PSA using PSA Detection Antibody-HRP Conjugate and ODI Derivative CL Detection in the Presence of 4-Iodophenol and 4-(1,2,4-triazol-1-yl) phenol
- AccuLite® CLIA kit capable of quantifying PSA with luminol CL detection was used to develop new CLEIA method using ODI derivative CL detection. The kit is composed of 96 strip wells coated with monoclonal PSA primary antibody, PSA detection antibody-HRP conjugate, luminol as a substrate, reaction buffer, and washing buffer.

The dynamic range (0˜50 ng/ml) obtained in the presence of 4-Iodophenol was the same as that in the presence of 4-(1,2,4-triazol-1-yl) phenol. However, the limit of detection (LOD, the measurement of zero dose+3 standard deviations=0.03 ng/ml) in the presence of 4-Iodophenol was about 2 times lower than that (0.07 ng/ml) in the presence of 4-(1,2,4-triazol-1-yl) phenol. In addition, the LOD in the presence of 4-Iodophenol or 4-(1,2,4-triazol-1-yl) phenol was about 20 or 10 times lower than that in the absence of catalyst. - A. Effects of Surfactants added in the Reaction between H2O2 and Substrate in the Presence of HRP
- Various concentrations (0.5, 1.0, and 1.5%) of Triton® X surfactant derivatives (Triton® X-100, Triton® X-114, Triton® X-405, and Triton® X-705) were prepared in Tris-HCl buffer solution (pH 8.5).
- Various surfactants (e.g., (2-Hydroxypropyl)-β-cyclodetrin, β-cyclodextrin, Carboxymethyl-β-cyclodextrin, Carbomethyl-β-cyclodextrin sodium salt, γ-cyclodextrin, Sodium dodecyl sulfate, Hexadecyltrimethylammonium bromide, Hexadecyltrimethylammonium chloride) of critical micelle concentration (CMC) were prepared in Tris-HCl buffer solution (pH 8.5).

- 6.
Pipette 10 μl of working solution into the assigned test tube (12×75 mm) or strip well. - 7. Insert the test tube into a luminometer or the strip well into a microplate luminometer.
- 8. Read CL emitted when OD4MI and H2O2 are added into the test tube or strip well through two dispensers.
- The results shown in
FIG. 3 indicate that the dynamic range of enzyme assay with OD4MI CL detection is dependent on the concentration of Triton® X-100 surfactant. The dynamic range (0˜0.02 U/ml) of enzyme assay in the absence of Triton® X-100 surfactant was shorter than those in the presence of Triton® X-100 surfactant. The dynamic range of enzyme assay in the presence of higher Triton® X-100 surfactant was extended up to 0.1 U/ml. The results shown inFIG. 3 indicate that Triton® X-100 surfactant is acting to interfere with the reaction between Amplex® Red reagent and H2O2 in the presence of HRP. As shown inFIG. 4 , it is difficult to interact Amplex® Red reagent, which is a hydrophobic compound, with H2O2 and HRP, which are hydrophilic compounds in the presence of Triton® X-100 surfactant. - As shown in
FIG. 5 , all of the Triton® X surfactant derivatives are working as interference in enzyme assay to quantify HRP. The dynamic range in the presence of Triton® X-100 surfactant was wider than those in other Triton® X surfactant derivatives. - The dynamic ranges of enzyme essay for quantifying HRP in the presence of non-ionic surfactants (e.g., (2-Hydroxypropyl)-β-cyclodetrin, β-cyclodextrin, Carboxymethyl-β-cyclodextrin, Carbomethyl-β-cyclodextrin sodium salt, γ-cyclodextrin), cationic surfactants (e.g., Hexadecyltrimethylammonium bromide, Hexadecyltrimethylammonium chloride), and anionic surfactant (e.g., Sodium dodecyl sulfate) were wider than that in the absence of surfactant.
- The dynamic ranges of enzyme assays with different detections (e.g., absorbance, fluorescence, luminol chemiluminescence), instead of OD4MI CL detection, for the quantification of HRP in the presence of surfactants were wider than that in the absence of surfactant. This is because all of the substrates applied for absorbance, fluorescence, and luminol chemiluminescence detection are hydrophobic compounds.
- In addition, all of the surfactants are working as interference in the reaction of ALP and various substrates applied to detect absorbance, fluorescence, and chemiluminescence. This is because all of the substrates used to sense ALP are hydrophobic compounds whereas ALP is an hydrophilic enzyme.
- In conclusion, a wide dynamic range to quantify hydrophilic enzyme (e.g., ellulase, cytochrome P450, esterase, β-galactosidase, β-glucosidase, β-glucuronidase, lactosidase, lipase, luciferase, protease) can be obtained in the presence of surfactant because most of the substrates applied in enzyme assays are hydrophobic compounds.
- B. Quantification of AFP using AFP Detection Antibody-HRP Conjugate and OD4MI CL Detection in the Presence of 0.1% Triton® X-100 Surfactant
- AccuLite® CLIA kit capable of quantifying AFP with luminol CL detection was used to develop new CLEIA method using OD4MI CL detection in the presence of 0.1% Triton® X-100 surfactant. The kit is composed of 96 strip wells coated with monoclonal AFP primary antibody, AFP detection antibody-HRP conjugate, luminol as a substrate, reaction buffer, and washing buffer.
- 9 different AFP serum samples (0, 9.7, 19.5, 39, 78, 156, 312, 625, and 1250 ng/ml) were used as standard samples.
- 2.0 μM Amplex® Red reagent and 0.2 mM H2O2 in deionized water were prepared in water containing 0.1% Triton® X-100 surfactant.
- OD4MI was formed from the reaction between 5.0 μM TCPO and 10.0 μM 4-Methylimidazole (4MImH) in Ethyl acetate. 100 mM H2O2 was prepared in Isopropyl alcohol.
- 12. Pipette 25 μl of AFP standard or test sample into a strip well.
- 13. Add 100 μl of AFP detection antibody-HRP conjugate to the strip well
- 14. Swirl the strip wells for 20 seconds.
- 15. Incubate for 30 minutes at 37° C.
- 16. Discard the contents of each strip wells.

- 19. Incubate the strip-well containing Amplex® Red reagent, H2O2, and 4-Iodophenol (or 2.0 mM 4-(1,2,4-triazol-1-yl) phenol) for 15 minutes at room temperature (21˜23° C.) in the dark.
- 20.
Pipette 10 μl of working solution into the assigned test tube (12×75 mm). - 21. Insert the test tube into a luminometer or the strip well into a microplate luminometer.
- 22. Read (integration time: 0.5 seconds) emitted CL for 0.5 seconds when OD4MI and H2O2 are added into the test tube or strip well through two dispensers.
- As shown in
FIG. 6 , the linear dynamic range (0˜1250 ng/ml, R2=0.9987) in the presence of 0.1% Triton® X-100 surfactant was wider than that (0˜313 ng/ml, R2=0.9962). The sensitivity of OD4MI CLEIA for the quantification of AFP with the increase of Triton® X-100 surfactant concentration was not as good as that in the presence of 0.1% Triton® X-100 surfactant. This is because it is difficult to interact Amplex® Red reagent with HRP coated on the surface of strip-well in the presence of high concentration of Triton® X-100 surfactant. - C. Quantification of BPA using Competitive OD4MI CL Detection in the Presence of Triton® X-100 Surfactant

- 22. Read CL emitted when OD4MI and H2O2 are added into the test tube or strip well through two dispensers.
- As shown in
FIG. 7 , the linear dynamic range (0.025˜5 ppb, R2=0.9973) in the presence of 0.1% Triton® X-100 surfactant was wider than that (0.1˜2.5 ppb, R2=0.995). The sensitivity of OD4MI CLEIA for the quantification of BPA with the increase of Triton® X-100 surfactant concentration was not as good as that in the presence of 0.1% Triton® X-100 surfactant. This is because it is difficult to interact Amplex® Red reagent with HRP coated on the surface of strip-well in the presence of high concentration of Triton® X-100 surfactant. - While various embodiments of the present invention have been described above, it should be understood that they have been presented by way of example only, and not limitation.
