Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a method for diagnosing infections caused by microbes whereby antibody reactivities towards at least two proteins or antigenic determinants derived from the microbes are compared.
  • Human parvovirus B19 is structurally the simplest known human-pathogenic virus. Its icosahedral capsid is made up of two structural proteins, VPl (83 JD) and VP2 (58 kD) . The smaller protein VP2 is the major capsid constituent, while VPl comprises only ⁇ 10% of the capsid. The amino acid sequence of VP2 overlaps with that of VPl, so that a portion of only 227 N-terminal amino acids is unique to VPl (Ozawa, K., et al., J. Virol. 61 (1987) , 2395-2406) .

Med. 313 (1985) , 74-79) which, especially in adults, is often coupled to transient polyarthritis or arthralgia affecting typically knees and small joints (Reid D.M. , et al., Lancet 1 (1985) , 422-425; White D.G., et al., Lancet 1 (1985) , 419-421) .

Lanes 1 to 6 contain the same serum pools as in the previous figures, and lane 7 the control pools with no B19 antibodies. Numbers refer to molecular weights (kD) of marker proteins (M) . Arrows indicate migration positions of ⁇ VPl (140 kD) , VPl (83 kD) and VP2 (58 kD) .
  • Figure 4 shows an evaluation of the new diagnostic assays by serum pools.
  • Figure 5 shows an evaluation of the new diagnostic assay by individual follow-up samples.
  • the 2 circles indicate a serum pair with exceptionally high relative binding to linear-VP2 determinants in the first sample, leveling off in 14 days (sample interval) .
  • Past imm denotes past immunity.
  • the present invention relates to a method wherein one of the at least two proteins originates from a modification in the primary structure of the other(s) .
  • the present invention relates to a method wherein the at least two proteins have the same primary structure but different secondary or tertiary structure.
  • microbes are viruses.

  • immunoassays are well-known in the art (see, for example, "Immunoassay: A Practical guide", D.W. Chan and M.T.

Contrary to the directly immobilized antigen, the streptavidin-attached biotinylated VP2 capsids in native form showed very high immunoreactivity at all time points after infection ( Figure 2A) . In order to assess whether the difference in immunoreactivity was due to protein conformation, we exposed these capsids to protein denaturants followed by reducing and alkylating agents.

  • Sera Acute-phase serum samples were obtained from 61 symptomatic patients with B19 infection fulfilling strict diagnostic criteria: seroconversion or -4-fold rise in titer of B19-IgG and detectable B19 IgM antibodies (Soderlund M. , et al., J. Clin. Microbiol. 30(2) (1992) , 305-311) . All the infections were primary as verified by low avidity of IgG in the acute phase, with subsequent avidity maturation (Soderlund M. , et al., J. Inf. Dis. 171 (1995) , in press) . Characteristic symptoms were rash or arthralgia/arthritis, usually with a self-limiting course.

Abstract

L'invention concerne deux nouveaux tests permettant d'effectuer des diagnostics sur des patients. Avec le premier, on compare les réactivités d'IgG vis-à-vis d'épitopes de conformation et d'épitopes linéaires de VP2. Avec le second, on compare les réactivités de l'IgG vis-à-vis des antigènes dénaturés VP2 et VP1. Les deux tests conviennent à la vérification de l'état d'infection d'un humain par un parvovirus.
