Definitions

  • the invention relates to a method for the detection of antibodies and / or antigens, in particular for blood group determination, antibody search test, serum cross-test and for infection serology, in a test liquid by reaction with a predetermined specific binding partner, the antigens or the antibodies or the specific binding partners in the test liquid is unbound and / or bound to a carrier and the sample mixture thus produced is subjected to an incubation step, in the case of a positive antigen-antibody reaction an agglutinate being formed from antigens or antibodies to be detected or the specific binding partners and the carriers, which is optical is detectable as a sedimentation image.
  • Human blood groups are detected by specific antigen-antibody reactions.
  • This reaction can be detected via crosslinking, i.e. Agglutination, of antigens (Ag), antibodies (Ak) and, if appropriate, certain carrier substances which carry antigens or antibodies, to form a macroscopically detectable, optically detectable complex, the agglutinate.
  • This can be a three-dimensional agglutinate or a so-called monolayer, which can often be observed when the surfaces of the test plates are coated (coded) with antibodies.
  • Examples are the blood group determination on the erythrocyte side and the serum cross-test.
  • blood group antigens bound to the membrane of the donor erythrocyte are detected by reaction with antisera which contain antibodies as specific binding partners.
  • the antibodies that are in a test liquid are known (search antibodies), for example test antibodies.
  • Search antibodies for example test antibodies.
  • Flooding and the unknown erythrocytes with unknown antigens are added. Agglutination is caused by the reaction of antigen and antibody. This means that the ABO and RH system and, in addition, a large number of antigens can be determined.
  • test liquid for example serum
  • isoagglutinins antibodies
  • This technique works with native round bottom microtiter plates, with a series of different antisera, in particular anti-A, anti-B, anti-D and rhesus control serum, for determining the blood group in the ABO system, pipetted into the wells of the plate and with the test erythrocytes is added in a diluted form. After an incubation period of at least 20 minutes, the plate is centrifuged and carefully shaken. The total processing time is approximately 40 minutes. A positive antigen-antibody reaction is visible as agglutinate, a negative reaction is shown as a suspended erythrocyte suspension which, when left standing, settles as a button on the bottom of the test plate.
  • the serum cross-check works in a similar way.
  • the process can only be automated in a complex manner and often does not provide uniqueness.
  • the reliability of the detection of a positive reaction depends on the strength of the antibody-antigen binding: in the case of weak bonds, the agglutinated erythrocytes can be separated again by external disturbances, in particular by shaking, and thus incorrectly diagnosed as a negative reaction. For this reason, because of the possibly missing clear reaction picture, the automatic distinction between positive and negative reaction, e.g. by means of automatic photometric evaluation, practically not possible, but must be carried out by an experienced operator or at least checked visually and is therefore very time-consuming.
  • ID-gel technique a method for the optical visualization of complexes of carrier-bound antigens with antibodies in reaction vessels is known for the detection of antigens or antibodies, which is called ID-gel technique.
  • This uses six parallel columns filled with gel beads in the form of a card. In the upper area above the column there is a larger container that holds the sample. An air cushion must remain between the lower column filled with gel and the upper container when the sample is filled; there is a rest incubation phase of 15 min at 37 ° C; the subsequent centrifugation time of the card is 10 minutes at 85xg. The result is read by looking at the column from the side. If the reaction is positive, the agglutinates are flaked on the gel of the column or in the gel of the column.
  • the erythrocytes are in a compact form at the bottom of the column.
  • the incubation time cannot be shortened because the samples must not be moved mechanically, because otherwise the sample would come into direct contact with the gel during the incubation phase and a false-negative reaction would be indicated.
  • the g-number cannot be increased and the centrifugation time cannot be reduced because otherwise a false negative reaction would also be indicated.
  • Separate cards are also required for the serum cross-test and the ABO-RH system, as are separate columns of a card for differentiating between IgG and IgM, for example.
  • EP 0 849 595 B1 which is based on EP 0 305 337A1 shows that (quote) "commercially available standard particles with a diameter of 3-7.5 ⁇ m sediment only incompletely into the gel matrix, while larger ones, 1 1 could microns 9, or smaller synthetic particles ⁇ 1 micron weak in the gel penetrate.
  • An increase in the parameter 'centrifugation, 10 min to 50 min and Centrifugation speeds from 1030 to 1300 rpm brought better, but still no complete sedimentation. Even if optimal sedimentation could have been achieved by these two measures, a change / increase in the centrifugation time and speed is very disadvantageous for the following reasons: 1.
  • the method of EP 0849595 B1 is intended to be a particularly time-consuming method in comparison to comparable methods allow.

  • the processing time must be as short as possible, which means that the incubation time may be a maximum of 5 to 7 minutes separately in a plate and the centrifugation time 2 to 4 minutes separately in a reaction plate, which still have to meet the requirement that these be loaded individually can be. It is also advantageous if the test device can simply be connected to the individual components in a simple manner, e.g. shortly before the examination.
  • the method according to the invention therefore, while avoiding the disadvantages of the prior art, provides a method for the detection of antibodies and / or antigens, such as for blood group determination, antibody screening test, serum cross-test and for infection serology, with high sensitivity, which can be carried out in a simple manner and can be managed with a high degree of automation.

Emergency entries of test samples from emergency patients are also possible, without impairing the other samples.

  • SEPHADEX beads between 20 ⁇ m and 300 ⁇ m are also suitable and can be used. It has been shown that beads which can fractionate the dextran are best suited.
  • a SEPHADEX G-50 namely SEPHADEX G-50-50 superfine, has a fraction range of dextran between 500 and 10,000 MWt (molecular weight), and globular proteins of 1,500 to 30,000 MWt, for swelling the beads at SEPHADEX G-50 -50 superfine 9-1 1 ml / g beads liquid required.

Then the Sephadex gel is left to swell for about 1 hour at room temperature and 6.5 ⁇ ⁇ 22% bovine serum albumin solution is added. This PP mixture is then left to stand overnight and then stored in the refrigerator at 2-8 ° C.
  • the embedding buffer has the advantage that when dextran is used, the colloidal solution of dextran reduces the spaces between the particles after the production of the buffer-particle mixture, PP mixture. This fact obviously comes from the chains of dextran. This makes it possible to work with a much higher gravity (g) in the centrifuging step. Namely, the centrifugation step with an acceleration of approximately 80xg to 20,000xg during a centrifugation time of 0.1 minutes to ⁇ 10 minutes, preferably LOOOxg to 4,000xg during a preferred centrifugation time between 1 minute and 5 minutes, in particular 1,900 up to 2,600xg at 2 minutes, or particularly preferably at about 1,900 g for 4 minutes.
  • the centrifugation time and the gravitation essentially only depend on the time after which and at which gravitation, g-number, a negative reaction can be clearly demonstrated. This means that in this case the g-number can be increased to further reduce the centrifugation time. This is not possible in the prior art because, for example, in the ID gel technique, a narrow window of g-number, 85xg, and centrifugation time, 10 minutes, is absolutely necessary.
  • Another advantage of the method is that the PP mixture decisively promotes the positive reaction or the visualization of the monolayer layer. Because the erythrocytes loaded with IgG are pressed under high pressure when using coded vessels against the wall encoded with anti-IgG and held. Due to the PP mixture or the embedding buffer, the spatial distances between the reactants or particles involved are very small, which is why the high g-number is required, which also reduces the centrifugation time. Even with a g-number of 2500 and a centrifugation time of> 10 minutes, the positive reaction of the monolayer remained stable. This means that, due to the PP mixture or the embedding buffer, the results remain practically unchanged over a large gravitational range.
  • the embedding buffer has the advantage of promoting and stabilizing the binding between anti-antibody and antibody-erythrocyte complex, namely the binding between Fab and Fc parts of the antibodies. This creates a positive lawn: plastic wall / anti-antibody / antibody-erythrocyte complex.
  • the PP mixture also has the advantage that this monolayer layer remains stable and is retained. This means that there is an increased sensitivity for the detection of antibodies.
  • the surprising advantageous properties could be due to the unexpected advantageous mechanical properties caused by the PP mixture. It would be possible for the spaces between individual beads to be narrowed by the addition of the PP mixture, and for this to achieve a surprisingly good purification effect when the erythrocytes pass through the gel, which is why, for example, no additives such as anti-IgM for IgM antibodies -Antibody used become. This means that the agglutination complex cannot be pushed through the gel structure even by relatively high gravitational forces. The weaker agglutinates may be pushed through to the walls of the detection vessel by the gravitational forces, but due to the spatial size and the high g-number, they are slower to migrate than individual erythrocytes.
  • the monolayer layer is formed quickly and is relatively stable, which enables a short centrifugation time with a high g number.
  • the viscosity of the PP mixture according to the invention is so low that the mixture can easily be filled into the detection vessels without air bubbles and is evenly distributed in the process.
  • coded vessels or walls is understood to mean that antibodies are bound to the preferably used microtiter plates with a pointed bottom, or compounds that bind antibodies, such as, for example, protein A. If, for example, antibodies are bound to the coded vessels that are against the Fc- The antibodies bound to the wall react with the Fc part of antibodies that are in the solution, thereby binding the antibodies in the detection solution to the walls of the detection vessels located antibodies bound to erythrocytes, it is achieved in that the erythrocytes are bound to the vessel wall via the antibody and the anti-antibody.

The solution or remaining solution of coding buffer and specific proteins is removed. A repeated wash step is not necessary. It is then added to each vessel from a PbS buffer containing approximately 1% bovine serum albumin solution. This last step with bovine serum albumin is also beneficial for the uncoded V-bottom plates for examining the blood groups. Because a coating with proteins is generally conducive to adhesion. This means that when the PP mixture is filled, the PP mixture is distributed evenly over the bottom wall of the microtiter plate, making the plate easier to fill.

Due to the variable incubation times, the procedure is suitable for emergencies and very well suited for semi and full automation. Due to the identical basic reagents, incubation times and centrifugation times, the complete blood group determination with serum cross-test, antibody test and cross-test is possible on a microtiter plate. It is also possible to work through infection serology, such as hepatitis B, on the same microtiter plate.
