Definitions
- the present invention relates to a sensor chip for surface plasmon excitation enhanced fluorescence spectroscopy [SPFS; Surface Plasmon-field enhanced Fluorescence Spectroscopy], that is, a near-field enhanced fluorescence sensor chip and a method for producing the same, and an assay method and an assay using the SPFS sensor chip.
- SPFS surface plasmon excitation enhanced fluorescence spectroscopy
- the present invention relates to a device for an assay and an assay kit.
- SPFS means that the irradiated laser light has a rough wave (surface plasmon) on the surface of the metal thin film in contact with the dielectric under the condition that the irradiated laser light is attenuated by total reflection [ATR] on the surface of the metal thin film.
- ATR total reflection
- SPR surface plasmon resonance
- surface plasmon resonance refers to a surface acoustic wave (surface plasmon) generated on the surface of a metal thin film in contact with a dielectric under conditions where the irradiated laser light is ATRed on the surface of the metal thin film. This is a phenomenon in which when the wavenumbers of the evanescent waves that are easily affected by the difference in refractive index (or refractive index) coincide with each other, the two resonate and the reflected light attenuates.
- the interaction between the ligand and the analyte on the sensor surface causes a difference in the dielectric constant (or refractive index) of the dielectric, and as a result, the surface plasmon resonance changes, thereby The interaction with the analyte can be quantified.
- Patent Document 1 discloses a sensor unit (100) as shown in FIG.
- the sensor unit is a transparent plate made of glass, plastic or other transparent material, a metal film formed by sputtering on one side of the plate, and a dextran layer (dextran film) bonded to the metal film. And a ligand bound to the dextran film.
- This ligand interacts with specific biomolecules (eg, antigens) present in the sample solution and can perform variable angle total internal reflection fluorescence, or SPFS.
- Patent Document 2 describes a technique in which a measurement chip (200) as shown in FIG. 8 and a physiologically active substance bonded to the surface of the measurement chip by a covalent bond are used for SPR.
- the measurement chip includes a dielectric block, a metal film formed on one surface of the dielectric block, a hydrophobic polymer compound that coats the metal film, and a hydrogel that coats the surface.
- Patent Documents 1 and 2 do not have any description or suggestion about the density of the ligand and dextran for immobilizing the ligand, and the sensor chip for SPFS produced based on the description of Patent Documents 1 and 2 is a chip used for the assay. It was found that there was a variation in the signal.
- an object of the present invention is to provide an SPFS sensor chip capable of maximizing the efficiency of antigen-antibody reaction and fluorescence detection, an assay method using the same, an assay device, and an assay kit.
- the density of ligands such as antibodies, the material of the solid phase immobilization layer (type of polymer such as dextran), the thickness of the solid phase immobilization layer and the solid phase affects the signal intensity and its variation.
- the variation of the half-value width obtained from the graph plotting the reflected light amount measured by the light amount detector with respect to the light source incident angle, which fluctuates depending on the above conditions, is within a specific numerical range, thereby allowing the signal of the assay.
- the SPFS sensor chip of the present invention includes a transparent support; a metal thin film formed on one surface of the transparent support; and the other surface of the metal thin film that is not in contact with the transparent support.
- a sensor chip for surface plasmon excitation enhanced fluorescence spectroscopy [SPFS] comprising a ligand immobilized on a fluorinated layer;
- a light amount detector eg, photodiode [PD] on the other surface side of the transparent support with respect to light incident at a predetermined angle from one surface of the transparent support that is not in contact with the metal thin film.
- the solid phase layer is composed of glucose, carboxymethylated glucose, vinyl esters, acrylic esters, methacrylic esters, olefins, styrenes, crotonic esters, itaconic diesters, maleic diesters, It is preferable to include a polymer composed of at least one monomer selected from the group consisting of monomers included in each of fumaric acid diesters, allyl compounds, vinyl ethers and vinyl ketones.
- the solid phase layer preferably has a density of less than 2 ng / mm 2 .
- the solid phase layer preferably has an average film thickness of 3 nm or more and 80 nm or less.
- the density of the ligand immobilized on the solid phase layer is preferably 10 femto mol / cm 2 or more and 100 pico mol / cm 2 or less.
- the assay method of the present invention comprises at least the following steps (a) to (d): Step (a): a step of bringing a specimen into contact with the SPFS sensor chip of the present invention, Step (b): a conjugate of a fluorescent dye and a ligand that may be the same as or different from the ligand contained in the SPFS sensor chip after the SPFS sensor chip that has undergone the step (a).
- Step (c) The SPFS sensor chip that has undergone the step (b) is irradiated with a laser beam from the other surface of the transparent support on which the metal thin film is not formed.
- the conjugate is preferably bound to the analyte.
- the analyte may be a tumor marker or a carcinoembryonic antigen.
- the assay device of the present invention is characterized by being used in the above assay method using the above-mentioned SPFS sensor chip.
- the assay kit of the present invention comprises: a transparent support; a metal thin film formed on one surface of the transparent support; and the other surface of the metal thin film not in contact with the transparent support.
- a sensor used for the above-mentioned SPFS sensor chip comprising: a formed SAM; and a solid-phased layer having a three-dimensional structure formed on the other surface of the SAM that is not in contact with the metal thin film. It includes at least a chip substrate.
- the SPFS sensor chip of the present invention uses a solid phase layer containing dextran or the like, signal unevenness does not appear when used in an assay (that is, the coefficient of variation [CV] is extremely small and stable). Since the signal increases, detection stability can be improved and sensitivity can be increased.
- FIG. 1 is a longitudinal sectional view schematically showing a preferred embodiment of the sensor chip for SPFS of the present invention.
- FIG. 2 shows the density of the immobilized layer (that is, the density of the antibody immobilized on the immobilized layer) on the horizontal axis when SPFS measurement was performed using the SPFS sensor chip shown in FIG.
