(11)第3工程→第2工程→第1工程→第4工程
全工程中における第2工程(糖鎖切断工程)の実施の順番としては、(A)第3工程(抗原捕捉工程)を実施後に、支持体上で第2工程を行う場合と、(B)それ以外の場合(抗原捕捉工程の前に糖鎖切断工程を行う、または、抗原捕捉工程を実施しない。)に大きく分けることができる。
また、第2工程(糖鎖切断工程)は、第1工程(レクチン結合工程)の前に行う方が、好ましい。これは、レクチンが結合後にその糖鎖を切断する場合、立体障害等のために、切断効率が落ち、バックグラウンドが上昇するためである。
以下に各工程の詳細について説明する。
第1工程は、特定の糖鎖を含む複数種の糖鎖と結合するレクチンを、特定の糖鎖を有する抗原に結合させる工程である。ここで用いるレクチンの量、反応液中の濃度、反応時間、反応条件は、用いるレクチンによって適宜調整すればよい。
第2工程は、前記複数種の糖鎖のうち前記特定の糖鎖を除く、かつ、前記レクチンが結合可能な少なくとも1種の糖鎖を切断可能な糖加水分解酵素を検体に接触させ、前記特定の糖鎖を除く少なくとも1種の糖鎖を切断する工程である。ここで用いる糖加水分解酵素の量、反応液中の濃度、反応時間、反応条件は、用いる糖加水分解酵素によって適宜調整すればよい。
また、例えば、タチナタマメ由来のマンノシダーゼを用いる場合、2~1000mU、好ましくは20~100mUのマンノシダーゼを用いることにより、血清糖タンパク質、糖脂質のマンノースの結合を切断することができる。
〔3.第3工程(抗原捕捉工程)〕
第3工程は、特定の糖鎖を有する抗原を、支持体(基板等)に固定化された、抗原と結合する分子と結合させる工程である。反応時間、反応温度等の反応条件は、用いる抗原および抗原と結合する分子に応じて、適宜調整すればよい。
第4工程は、レクチンに結合した標識体を測定することによってレクチンを検出し、さらにレクチンが結合した検出対象抗原を検出する工程である。
本発明の検出工程において用いられる検出方法としては、上記標識体を測定できるものであれば、特に限定されず、それぞれの標識物質に適した当業者に公知の方法により行うことができる。例えば、放射性物質により標識されたレクチンを検出する場合には、液体シンチレーションやRIA法により検出することができる。蛍光色素により標識されたレクチンを検出する場合には、ルミノメーター、SPFS測定器等により検出することができる。酵素で標識されたレクチンを検出する場合は、標識された酵素に対応した基質を加えた後に、酵素による基質の化学的変化、例えば、発色、蛍光、化学発光等を測定することにより検出することができる。
本発明の検出方法に用いる測定法として、SPFSが好適に用いられる。SPFSは、誘電体部材上に形成された金属薄膜に全反射減衰(ATR)が生じる角度で励起光を照射したときに、金属薄膜を透過したエバネッセント波が表面プラズモンとの共鳴により数十倍~数百倍に増強されることを利用して、金属薄膜近傍に捕捉されたアナライト(分析対象物)を標識する蛍光体を効率的に励起させ、その蛍光シグナルを測定する方法である。このようなSPFSは、一般的な蛍光標識法などに比べて極めて感度が高いため、サンプル中にアナライトがごく微量しか存在しない場合であってもそれを定量することができる。
SPFS用測定部材は、一般的に、サンドイッチ型免疫複合体を形成してSPFSによる蛍光測定を行うための場(測定領域)が形成されているセンサチップと、サンドイッチ型免疫複合体の形成などに用いられる各種の溶液(アナライトを含む試料、標識リガンド溶液、その他の反応試薬等)を測定領域上に保持することのできる、流路またはウェルを構築するための部材とを積層化した構成をとる。
本発明に係る測定法は、一般的なSPFS用測定装置を使用して実施することができる。SPFS用測定装置は、基本的に、SPFS用測定部材が着脱可能となっており、使用する蛍光体に応じた適切な波長の励起光(好適にはレーザー光)を照射するための光源、励起光をセンサチップの金属薄膜の裏面に所定の角度で入射させるためのプリズム(透明支持体が平面基板状のセンサチップを使用する場合)、金属薄膜で反射した光を受光しその強度を測定する受光器、蛍光体から発せられる蛍光を集光するためのレンズおよびその蛍光の強度を測定するための検出器、励起光および蛍光から所定の波長を有する光のみを透過させそれ以外の光をカットするための各種のフィルタなどを備える。
1.定量測定装置の構成
図5は、本発明のアナライトの定量測定方法を説明する定量測定装置の概略を模式的に示す概略図、図6は、図5の定量測定装置の部分拡大図である。
また、センサチップ16の上方には、後述するような蛍光物質が励起されて発光した蛍光30を受光するための光検出手段32が備えられている。
なお、センサチップ16、光源20、光検出手段32によって、本発明の定量測定装置10のSPFS測定を行うSPFS測定部34が構成されている。
本発明の検出用キットは、上記本発明の検出方法に使用されるものである。本発明の検出用キットは、
(1)特定の糖鎖を含む複数種の糖鎖と結合するレクチンを含む試薬、
(2)前記複数種の糖鎖のうち前記特定の糖鎖を除く、かつ、前記レクチンが結合可能な、少なくとも1種の糖鎖を切断可能な糖加水分解酵素を含む試薬、および
(3)前記特定の糖鎖を有する抗原と結合する分子を含む試薬、
を含む。
(4)本発明に係る検出方法が指示として記載された使用説明書、および/または
(5)レクチン標識化試薬
を含んでいてもよい。
本発明の方法は、疾病の診断に用いることができる。例えば、検出対象抗原(アナライト)がPSAの場合、本発明の検出方法により定量された、患者由来の生体試料中のPSA量から、前立腺癌の診断をすることが可能である。他にも、アナライトがAFPの場合は肝細胞癌を、CEAの場合は消化管を中心とした癌の診断をすることが可能である。
以下の実施例においては、測定装置として、上記SPFS測定装置を自作して使用した。当該SPFS測定装置は、上記定量測定装置10と同様の構成である。
屈折率1.72、厚さ1mmのガラス製の透明平面基板((株)オハラ製のS-LAL 10)をプラズマ洗浄し、この基板の片面にクロム薄膜をスパッタリング法によって形成した。その後、その表面にさらに金薄膜をスパッタリング法によって形成した。クロム薄膜の厚さは1~3nm、金薄膜の厚さは44~52nmであった。

〔蛍光標識LCAレクチン〕
蛍光標識LCAレクチンを、蛍光物質ラベリングキットを利用して作製した。レクチンとして、LCAレクチン(L-1040、Vector社)を用いた他は、作製例1と同様にして蛍光標識LCAレクチンを得た。
