Definitions
- ABSTRACT Antibodies to serum hepatitis are coupled to carbohydrate macro particles which are then contacted with blood fluids, suitably plasma, which are believed to contain serum hepatitis antigen.
- the serum hepatitis antigen is thus complexed with the bound antibody and the particles bearing both the antibody and the antigen are removed from the blood fluid.
- the antigen is then cleaved from the antibody by alkaline treatment, and may, if desired, be itself isolated, suitably by dialysis.
- the antibody/agarose complex is then available for recycling in a further batch of contaminated blood fluids.
- the amount of serum hepatitis antigen particles present in most blood fluids such as plasma varies widely. however, such fluids generally contain between It) and I0 particles per ml.
- Many methods of detecting serum hepatitis are known. however, in view of the practical problems caused by the presence of small amounts of serum hepatitis antigen particles much research effort has been directed to detecting trace amounts of antigen.
- IEOP irnmunoelectro-osmophoresis
- a further problem associated with the techniques of study of serum hepatitis is the difficulty of obtaining pure serum hepatitis antibody.
- the techniques of antibody production are well known, however, if the antibody producing system is infused with proteinaceous material of different immunological characteristics it may produce antibodies corresponding to each of those immunological characteristics. Thus, a mode of isolation of high purity antigen is clearly to be considered a highly desirable goal.
- serum hepatitis antibody (goat) is coupled to agarose. suitably Sepharose 28. by the cyanogen bromide method (See Borath. ct al. Nature, 2l5. l49l (1967)).
- the thus bound antibody. (hereinafter BHAB) is then mixed with a blood fluid. suitably plasma. and agitated for up to 30 hours.
- the plasma is separated from the BHABI HAA complex by filtration.
- the complex is dissociated by washing with saline at pH 9-12, suitably 10.5-1 l .5 and the saline wash containing the HAA concentrated by dialysis.
- the BHAB is then washed again and utilized for the removal of HAA from a further batch of plasma.
- the BHAB may be utilized to test the presence of HAA down to a level of IO to 10 particles per ml.
- BHAB is incubated with the test plasma at about 37 for about 3 hours and a similar sample similarly incu bated in saline to serve as control.
- the BHAB is separated from the test plasma suitably by filtration or centrifugation and incubated for 1 hour with "I-labeled hepatitis antigen.
- the control BHAB is of course similarly treated.
- the radio activity associated with the test and control samples of BHAB is then measured and the ratio compared to a plot of a similar ratio against the number of antigen particles in a test sample set forth on a standard curve produced by serial dilution methods.
- filter paper may be used as a support for the test procedure.
- HAA removal may be extended to the preparation of hepatitis free fibrinogen, a clotting factor of great utility in the treatment of the hemophilia and similar conditions.
- plasma is treated with BHAB as hereinabove, and further treated with agarose to which antifibrinogen has been coupled by similar means.
- the fibrinogen is then cleaved from the agarose/antifibrinogen complex and is available for use as a hepatitis-free product.
- FIG. I is a graphic plot of HAA particles per ml. of standardized fluid on the linear X axis plotted against the ratio of radio activity of a BHAB/HAA/labeled HAA sample to the radio activity of a BHAB/labeled HAA sample plotted on a logarithmic Y axis.
- FIG. 2 is a multiple plot of the number of HAA particles shown to remain in a fluid containing said particles after treatment by the removal method of the present invention and recovered, by standard radio tracer methods, IEOP and the radio immuno assay method of the present invention plotted on a logarithmic Y axis against contact time of the removal agent with the HAA contaminated fluid, plotted on a linear X axis.
- FIG. 3 is a flow diagram of the HAA removal method of the present invention.
- FIG. 4 is a flow diagram of the HAA detection method of the present method.
- serum hepati tis antibody (suitably but not critically goat antibody) is coupled to agarose particles, preferably Sepharose 28 by a modification of the cyanogen bromide method.
- agarose has been found particularly suitable as a support phase (hereinafter BHAB-A) the invention is not limited thereto.
- Physically stable supports containing carbohydrate groups may be employed.
- cellusosic materials such as cotton cloth have been found operative, and, indeed high grade filter paper is the carrier of choice in the testing modification of the invention.
