- the photodiode has a large dark current and is allowed by a silicon IC. With capacitance, sufficient integration time cannot be secured.
- the circuit needs to be integrated into the IC, and sufficient measures have not been taken.
- the present inventors By connecting a lock-in amplifier array using silicon ICs to each element of the photodiode array, the present inventors made femtowatt level faint light detection possible even in a room temperature array (the above-mentioned WO2010 / 041756A1). .

Abstract
Provided is a detection method whereby, in a clinical test using as a sample a material of a biological origin such as blood, an object component to be detected alone can be detected at a high sensitivity even though a biological material such as a blood cell component other than the object component remains. Nanocarbon such as a single-walled carbon nanotube (SWCNT) absorbs near infrared rays and emits the near infrared rays upon light excitation, or has a Raman scattering light peak in the near infrared region. Owing to these optical properties in the near infrared region of nanocarbon, an object component to be detected alone can be detected at a high sensitivity even though a biological material such as a blood cell component other than the object component remains, by, for example, labeling a detection probe with nanocarbon and detecting the object with the use of near infrared rays emitted by the object.
Description
本発明は、近赤外領域で吸光または発光する標識プローブを用いる臨床検査技術に関する。
The present invention relates to a clinical examination technique using a labeled probe that absorbs or emits light in the near infrared region.
昨今の技術開発を背景として、各種疾患バイオマーカー探索が進められており、「がん」等の疾患の早期発見に役立つ可能性が高い候補分子が相次いで報告されている。産業技術総合研究所の糖鎖医工学研究センターでも、本発明者らの一人である池原らが糖鎖分析技術のアドバンテージを最大限に生かして、疾患の発生と進展に伴って出現する未完成品糖タンパク質(図1)(＝糖鎖修飾異性体)を疾患バイオマーカーとする研究を進めて来た。未完成品の糖タンパク質などの疾病マーカーを検出することで、がんや生活習慣病を早期発見できる。
最近、池原らは、肝炎に伴って生じる線維化を測定できる未完成糖鎖バイオマーカーを発見し、侵襲性の高い生検に代わって血液検査での検出評価を可能とした。さらに、胃がんの腹腔内再発や、胆管がん、卵巣がんのように発見が極めて難しい腫瘍の存在や進展についても、評価できる未完成糖鎖バイオマーカーの発見に成功している。今後、同様のアプローチで開発を進めると、動脈硬化やアルツハイマー病の検査診断にも展開可能であると予想される。しかし、血液・体腔液・胆汁などに存在する疾患マーカー分子を検出することで、これらの疾病の超早期診断を達成するためには、現在の臨床検査で一般に利用される検出技術では、十分な感度を得ることは難しい。 Searches for biomarkers of various diseases are being promoted against the background of recent technological development, and candidate molecules that are likely to be useful for early detection of diseases such as “cancer” have been reported one after another. Ikehara et al., One of the inventors of the present invention, at the Glycotechnology Research Center of the National Institute of Advanced Industrial Science and Technology makes the most of the advantages of glycan analysis technology, and it appears that it appears as the disease develops and progresses We have been conducting research using the glycoprotein (Fig. 1) (= glycosylated isomer) as a disease biomarker. By detecting disease markers such as unfinished glycoproteins, cancer and lifestyle-related diseases can be detected early.
Recently, Ikehara et al. Discovered an incomplete glycan biomarker that can measure fibrosis caused by hepatitis and enabled detection evaluation in blood tests instead of highly invasive biopsy. Furthermore, we have succeeded in discovering unfinished glycan biomarkers that can be evaluated for the recurrence of gastric cancer in the abdominal cavity and the presence and progression of extremely difficult tumors such as bile duct cancer and ovarian cancer. In the future, if development is carried out using the same approach, it is expected to be applicable to laboratory diagnosis of arteriosclerosis and Alzheimer's disease. However, detection techniques commonly used in current clinical tests are not sufficient to achieve ultra-early diagnosis of these diseases by detecting disease marker molecules present in blood, body cavity fluid, bile, etc. It is difficult to obtain sensitivity.

一般に血液・体腔液・胆汁等の生体由来物をサンプルとする臨床検査では、血球等の細胞成分(赤血球や白血球、血小板、中皮、脱落細胞)を遠心分離やフィルター濾過により除去する。しかし、いずれの操作でも除ききれないので、これら生体物質が少なからず混入する事となり、疾患バイオマーカー検出のために使うプローブ分子の光を妨害吸収してしまい疾病検出感度を下げてしまう。同時に、血球成分等の細胞や、体腔液や胆汁に含まれるタンパクが非特異的に発光し、プローブ発光検出の際にノイズの原因ともなる。こうした成分によるプローブ発光の妨害吸収や自家発光ノイズは、超早期診断を目的としたさまざまな疾患バイオマーカーの高感度検出を邪魔し、その実用化において非常に大きな障害となっている。
Generally, in a clinical test using biological substances such as blood, body cavity fluid, and bile as samples, cell components such as blood cells (red blood cells, white blood cells, platelets, mesothelial cells, dropped cells) are removed by centrifugation or filter filtration. However, since it cannot be removed by any operation, not a few of these biological substances are mixed, and the light of the probe molecules used for detecting the disease biomarker is disturbed and absorbed, and the disease detection sensitivity is lowered. At the same time, cells such as blood cell components, and proteins contained in body cavity fluid and bile emit nonspecifically, which causes noise when detecting probe luminescence. Interference absorption and self-emission noise of probe luminescence due to such components hinders high-sensitivity detection of various disease biomarkers for the purpose of ultra-early diagnosis, and are very serious obstacles to their practical application.
本発明は、血液・体腔液・胆汁などの生体由来物をサンプルとする臨床検査において、検出対象以外の血球やタンパク成分などの生体物質が残存しても、検出対象成分のみを高感度で検出可能な、検出方法を提供することを課題とする。
The present invention can detect only a detection target component with high sensitivity even if biological substances such as blood cells and protein components other than the detection target remain in a clinical test using biological samples such as blood, body cavity fluid, and bile as a sample. An object is to provide a possible detection method.
本発明者らは、単層カーボンナノチューブ(SWCNT)などのナノカーボンが近赤外光を吸収し、光励起により近赤外光を発光し、あるいは、近赤外領域にラマン散乱光のピークを有することに着目し、検出プローブをナノカーボンにより標識することにより、検出された対象が発する近赤外光を検出に利用するなど、ナノカーボンの有する近赤外領域の光学的特性を利用することで、検出対象以外の血球成分などの生体物質が残存しても、検出対象成分のみを高感度で検出することが可能であることを見出し、本発明を完成した。
The present inventors have found that nanocarbons such as single-walled carbon nanotubes (SWCNT) absorb near-infrared light, emit near-infrared light by photoexcitation, or have a peak of Raman scattered light in the near-infrared region. Focusing on the fact that the detection probe is labeled with nanocarbon, the near-infrared light emitted by the detected object is used for detection. The present invention has been completed by finding that even if biological substances such as blood cell components other than the detection target remain, only the detection target component can be detected with high sensitivity.
近赤外光は生体透過性が高いため、in vivoイメージングや腋窩リンパ節検査などの体内診断の高感度化をゴールに、技術開発が試みられている。血液や体腔液を対象として検索する臨床検査においても、近赤外光が利用可能となれば、高感度化と多種類の疾病マーカーの同時検出が可能となるが、実現していない。実現のためには、近赤外波長領域で効率良く発光するプローブが必要である。
SWCNTは、450－1350nmの光励起により700－2300nmで発光する(図２にその一部の波長範囲の発光マップを示す)。この波長範囲は、生体物質によって吸収されにくいあるいは自家発光の少ない波長範囲(波長600-1300nm)をふくむ
。SWCNTは、近赤外色素分子や近赤外量子ドットに比べて、10倍以上の光学的耐久性があり、化学修飾も可能である。つまり、SWCNTは近赤外発光プローブとしての優位性は比類なく、近赤外光を利用した次世代臨床検査の実現を可能にする強力な新規材料である。SWCNTの発光は2002年に発見され、これまで、生体内のSWCNTイメージングなども試みられた(非特許文献３)ものの、そのもっとも有力な応用である臨床検査への検討はこれまで全くなされていない。 Since near-infrared light has high biological permeability, technological development has been attempted with the goal of increasing the sensitivity of in-vivo diagnostics such as in vivo imaging and axillary lymph node examination. Even in clinical examinations that search for blood and body cavity fluids, if near-infrared light can be used, high sensitivity and simultaneous detection of many types of disease markers are possible, but this has not been realized. For realization, a probe that efficiently emits light in the near-infrared wavelength region is required.
SWCNT emits light at 700-2300 nm by photoexcitation at 450-1350 nm (FIG. 2 shows an emission map of a part of the wavelength range). This wavelength range includes a wavelength range (wavelength 600-1300 nm) that is difficult to be absorbed by a biological substance or has little self-emission. SWCNTs have an optical durability that is more than 10 times that of near-infrared dye molecules and near-infrared quantum dots, and can be chemically modified. In other words, SWCNT has an unparalleled superiority as a near-infrared light emitting probe, and is a powerful new material that enables the realization of next-generation clinical tests using near-infrared light. SWCNT luminescence was discovered in 2002, and in vivo SWCNT imaging has been attempted (Non-patent Document 3), but clinical studies that have been the most promising application have not been studied at all. .

近赤外光の発光により、微量の検出対象を生体に由来する夾雑物が存在するサンプル中で検出するためには、また、微弱な近赤外光を検出する装置が必要とされる。
波長1000～2000nmの近赤外光の検出には、通常シリコン電荷積分アンプに接続されたInGaAsフォトダイオードアレイを使用するが、室温付近においては、フォトダイオードの暗電流が大きくシリコンICで許容されるキャパシタンスでは、十分な積分時間が確保できない。この点は、フォトダイオードを液体窒素冷却することで解決可能であるが、価格や操作性の問題を鑑みると、臨床検査室での実用化は難しい。これに対して本発明者らの一人である小倉は、先に、極微弱光の計測が室温付近で可能となるよう、表面電流ブロック層を設けたヘテロバイポーラフォトトランジスタを開発した(WO2010/041756A1)。
この素子の特色として、内部増幅作用が大きいので(電流増幅率β～数千)、外部電気回路によるノイズの影響を受けにくいこと、ベース領域に光励起キャリアの蓄積効果を持つため、電荷積分機能を内蔵していること、可視から赤外まで広い波長範囲に感度を有することなどが挙げられる。
更に、蛍光や透過スペクトラム計測の場合、光源を変調し、検出系を同期検波する(ロックイン 検波)ことにより暗電流成分を除去することが可能であるが、アレイ検出器に対しては、電子回路をIC化する必要があり、十分な対策が取られていない。
本発明者らは、フォトダイオードアレイのそれぞれの素子に、シリコンICによるロックインアンプアレイを接続することにより、室温アレイにおいてもフェムトワットレベルの微弱光検出を可能にした(上述のWO2010/041756A1)。 In order to detect a very small amount of detection target in a sample in which impurities derived from a living body exist by emitting near-infrared light, an apparatus that detects weak near-infrared light is also required.
For detection of near-infrared light with a wavelength of 1000 to 2000 nm, an InGaAs photodiode array connected to a silicon charge integrating amplifier is usually used. However, near room temperature, the photodiode has a large dark current and is allowed by a silicon IC. With capacitance, sufficient integration time cannot be secured. Although this point can be solved by cooling the photodiode with liquid nitrogen, it is difficult to put it into practical use in a clinical laboratory in view of problems of price and operability. On the other hand, Ogura, one of the inventors of the present invention, previously developed a heterobipolar phototransistor provided with a surface current blocking layer so that measurement of extremely weak light is possible near room temperature (WO2010 / 041756A1). ).
As a feature of this element, since the internal amplification function is large (current amplification factor β to several thousand), it is difficult to be affected by noise from the external electric circuit, and it has the effect of accumulating photoexcited carriers in the base region. It is built-in, and has sensitivity in a wide wavelength range from visible to infrared.
Furthermore, in the case of fluorescence or transmission spectrum measurement, the dark current component can be removed by modulating the light source and synchronously detecting the detection system (lock-in detection). The circuit needs to be integrated into the IC, and sufficient measures have not been taken.
By connecting a lock-in amplifier array using silicon ICs to each element of the photodiode array, the present inventors made femtowatt level faint light detection possible even in a room temperature array (the above-mentioned WO2010 / 041756A1). .

That is, in the present invention, in the presence of the fundamental technology of system equipment that can detect near infrared light with high sensitivity, nanocarbon such as SWCNT that emits light with near infrared light is used as a labeling substrate to detect a target object. By modifying necessary probes such as antibodies, in addition to the conventional visible wavelength band, a blood biochemical specimen test using a fluorescent label in the near-infrared wavelength band is made possible. Furthermore, by extending the detection wavelength band to 2 μm, HbA1c quantification and blood glucose level measurement can be performed in parallel with the light absorption / transmission characteristics of glycated hemoglobin and glucose in red blood cells, preventing adult diseases. Contributes greatly to screening.

SWCNTは、上述のとおり、近赤外領域の波長700-1350nmの光を吸収し、近赤外領域の波長700-2300nmにおいて蛍光を発し、また、後述の実施例１において示すとおり、近赤外領域の1585cm-1付近にラマン散乱ピークを有する。多層カーボンナノチューブおよびカーボンナンホーンは、同様に、近赤外領域の光を吸収し、また、近赤外領域の1580-1600cm-1にラマン散乱ピークを有する。ナノグラフェンは、近赤外領域の光を吸収し、近赤外領域の1800-1900cm-1にラマン散乱ピークを有し、また、可視光から近赤外領域において蛍光を発する。また、上述のその他のナノカーボンも、多層カーボンナノチューブ等と同様の光特性を有する。
このようにナノカーボンは、近赤外領域において光吸収し、発光し、あるいはラマン散乱光のピークを有するという光特性を有しており、本発明においては、ナノカーボンの有するこれらの特異な光学的性質を利用することにより、血液成分などが共存していても、ナノカーボンにより標識された検出対象のみを高感度で検出することができる。
具体的には、検出対象に対し特異的に結合する抗体などのプローブをナノカーボンにより標識し、当該標識プローブを検出対象に結合させて、標識の発光等を検出することにより、検出対象を検出する。
ナノカーボンによるプローブの標識は、例えば、後述のDSPE-PEG-NHSなどを用いて吸着あるいは化学結合させたナノカーボンをPEG部分により被覆し、これを抗体などのプローブに直接、あるいは、間接的に結合させること、などにより行うことができる。
また、本発明の方法の検出対象とされる、正常もしくは病的な状態になった際、血液や体腔液中に存在する各種の抗原としては、例えば、タンパクや糖鎖等の、がん関連抗原、疾患バイオマーカーが挙げられる。 Examples of the nanocarbon used in the present invention include single-walled carbon nanotubes (SWCNT), multi-walled carbon nanotubes, carbon nanohorns, nanographene, and other nanocarbons such as carbon nanorods, carbon nanocones, carbon nanocups, and fullerenes.

Similarly, multi-walled carbon nanotubes and carbonnanhorn absorb light in the near-infrared region and have a Raman scattering peak at 1580-1600 cm −1 in the near-infrared region. Nanographene absorbs light in the near infrared region, has a Raman scattering peak at 1800-1900 cm −1 in the near infrared region, and emits fluorescence in the near infrared region from visible light. The other nanocarbons described above also have the same optical characteristics as multi-walled carbon nanotubes.
As described above, nanocarbon has optical characteristics such as light absorption, emission in the near-infrared region, or peak of Raman scattering light. In the present invention, these unique optical properties of nanocarbon are included. By utilizing the intrinsic properties, only the detection target labeled with nanocarbon can be detected with high sensitivity even if blood components and the like coexist.
Specifically, the detection target is detected by labeling a probe such as an antibody that specifically binds to the detection target with nanocarbon, binding the labeled probe to the detection target, and detecting light emission of the label. To do.

Similarly, multi-walled carbon nanotubes and carbonnanhorn absorb light in the near-infrared region and have a Raman scattering peak at 1580-1600 cm −1 in the near-infrared region. Nanographene absorbs light in the near infrared region, has a Raman scattering peak at 1800-1900 cm −1 in the near infrared region, and emits fluorescence in the near infrared region from visible light. The other nanocarbons described above also have the same optical characteristics as multi-walled carbon nanotubes.

In the present invention, these unique optical properties of nanocarbon are included. By utilizing the intrinsic properties, only the detection target labeled with nanocarbon can be detected with high sensitivity even if blood components and the like coexist.
Specifically, the detection target is detected by labeling a probe such as an antibody that specifically binds to the detection target with nanocarbon, binding the labeled probe to the detection target, and detecting light emission of the label. To do.

ヘモグロビンは、近赤外領域において吸光も発光もしないので、たとえSWCNT-DSPE-PEG-IgG/プロテインＧビーズと共存していても、SWCNT-DSPE-PEG-IgG/プロテインＧビーズにおけるSWCNTの蛍光スペクトル測定を妨げないはずである。このことは、実際にヘモグロビンの共存下で測定したSWCNT-DSPE-PEG-IgG/プロテインＧビーズのSWCNTのスペクトル(図１０)に示す蛍光ピークが、ヘモグロビンが共存しないときにSWCNT-DSPE-PEG-IgG/プロテインＧビーズで観察されたもの(図８)と、特徴が一致することにより、確認された。 Example 4 Confirmation that coexistence of hemoglobin does not affect the fluorescence spectrum measurement of SWCNT-labeled antibody (SWCNT-DSPE-PEG-IgG) Even if hemoglobin coexists with SWCNT-DSPE-PEG-IgG / protein G beads, In order to confirm that the measurement of the fluorescence spectrum is not hindered, the supernatant obtained at the end of the process of Example 2 (1) was collected, and then 20 μL of 5 wt% hemoglobin solution (trade name JCCRM622-1) was added. The optical spectrum was measured.
Since hemoglobin does not absorb or emit light in the near-infrared region, even if it coexists with SWCNT-DSPE-PEG-IgG / Protein G beads, the SWCNT fluorescence spectrum of SWCNT-DSPE-PEG-IgG / Protein G beads Should not interfere with the measurement. This is because the fluorescence peak shown in the SWCNT spectrum of SWCNT-DSPE-PEG-IgG / Protein G beads measured in the presence of hemoglobin (Fig. 10) is not present in the presence of hemoglobin. This was confirmed by the coincidence of the characteristics with those observed with IgG / protein G beads (FIG. 8).

This was confirmed by the coincidence of the characteristics with those observed with IgG / protein G beads (FIG. 8).
実施例５．プロテインＧビーズに結合したSWCNT標識抗体(SWCNT-DSPE-PEG-IgG)がプロテインＧビーズから回収できることの確認
一般に標識抗体を用いてサンプル中の抗原を検出する方法の態様の一つとして、サンプル中の抗原をプロテインＧビーズに固定した抗体により捕捉し、当該捕捉された抗原を標識抗体を用いて標識し、当該標識を検出する方法を挙げることができる。そして、このような方法では、抗原の定量は、通常、プロテインＧビーズ上に生成した抗原抗体複合体をプロテインＧビーズから溶出させ、溶液系で標識の結合量を分析することで行われる。
そこで、SWCNT標識抗体がこのような検出方法に用い得るかどうか、具体的には、プロテインＧビーズに結合したSWCNT-DSPE-PEG-IgGがプロテインＧビーズから容易に溶出でき、また、溶出したSWCNT-DSPE-PEG-IgGについて蛍光スペクトル測定が行えるかどうかを確認するため、プロテインＧビーズに結合したSWCNT-DSPE-PEG-IgGをプロテインＧビーズから引き離し、SWCNT-DSPE-PEG-IgGを溶液中に分散させ、その蛍光スペクトルを測定した。
SWCNT-DSPE-PEG-IgGのプロテインＧビーズからの引き離しは、SDS水溶液(5重量％)を10μL添加し、加熱沸騰(10分間)することにより行った。得られたSWCNT-DSPE-PEG-IgG溶出液の蛍光スペクトルを図１１に示す。図１１の蛍光スペクトルのピーク強度から、SWCNT-DSPE-PEG-IgGの回収率は90％程度と見積もられ、これによりSWCNT標識が上述のような免疫沈降法による抗原の定量に適していることが確認された。 Example 5 FIG. Confirmation that SWCNT-labeled antibody (SWCNT-DSPE-PEG-IgG) bound to protein G beads can be recovered from protein G beads In general, one of the methods for detecting antigens in samples using labeled antibodies And a method of detecting the label by capturing the captured antigen with an antibody immobilized on protein G beads, labeling the captured antigen with a labeled antibody, and the like. In such a method, the antigen is usually quantified by eluting the antigen-antibody complex produced on the protein G beads from the protein G beads and analyzing the binding amount of the label in a solution system.
Therefore, whether SWCNT-labeled antibodies can be used in such detection methods, specifically, SWCNT-DSPE-PEG-IgG bound to protein G beads can be easily eluted from protein G beads. In order to confirm whether fluorescence spectrum measurement can be performed for -DSPE-PEG-IgG, SWCNT-DSPE-PEG-IgG bound to protein G beads is pulled away from protein G beads, and SWCNT-DSPE-PEG-IgG is put into solution. After dispersion, the fluorescence spectrum was measured.
Separation of SWCNT-DSPE-PEG-IgG from protein G beads was performed by adding 10 μL of SDS aqueous solution (5 wt%) and heating to boiling (10 minutes). The fluorescence spectrum of the obtained SWCNT-DSPE-PEG-IgG eluate is shown in FIG. From the peak intensity of the fluorescence spectrum shown in FIG. 11, the recovery rate of SWCNT-DSPE-PEG-IgG is estimated to be about 90%, which means that SWCNT labeling is suitable for antigen quantification by immunoprecipitation as described above. Was confirmed.

SWCNT-DSPE-PEG-IgGのプロテインＧビーズからの引き離しは、SDS水溶液(5重量％)を10μL添加し、加熱沸騰(10分間)することにより行った。得られたSWCNT-DSPE-PEG-IgG溶出液の蛍光スペクトルを図１１に示す。図１１の蛍光スペクトルのピーク強度から、SWCNT-DSPE-PEG-IgGの回収率は90％程度と見積もられ、これによりSWCNT標識が上述のような免疫沈降法による抗原の定量に適していることが確認された。 Example 5 FIG.

From the peak intensity of the fluorescence spectrum shown in FIG. 11, the recovery rate of SWCNT-DSPE-PEG-IgG is estimated to be about 90%, which means that SWCNT labeling is suitable for antigen quantification by immunoprecipitation as described above. Was confirmed.
以上、実施例１～５により、SWCNTで標識された抗体が、抗体としての活性を保持し、かつ、近赤外領域の蛍光発光特性を保持しており、ヘモグロビンなどの血液成分により妨害されることなく、抗体が特異的に結合する対象成分と結合することができ、また、その蛍光を検出することができることが示され、さらに、プロテインＧビーズなどの担体を用いる免疫沈降法による抗原の定量に適していることが示された。
As described above, according to Examples 1 to 5, the SWCNT-labeled antibody retains the activity as an antibody and retains the fluorescence emission property in the near infrared region, and is interfered by blood components such as hemoglobin. It is shown that the antibody can bind to the target component to which the antibody specifically binds, and that the fluorescence can be detected. Further, the antigen can be quantified by immunoprecipitation using a carrier such as protein G beads. It was shown to be suitable for.

更に、蛍光測定の場合、励起光を変調することが可能であることから、変調周期に対応して同期検波を行うロックインアンプ検出法を用いて微弱光の検出レベルを、暗電流相当レベル(数pW)からショットノイズ限界(～数十fW)まで向上することが可能である。図１２に、内部増幅作用を有するInGaAs近赤外フォトトランジスタアレイの各セルにロックインアンプおよびAD変換器を接続した高感度赤外光検出アレイモジュールを磁気ビーズ-抗原-SWCNT-DSPE-PEG-抗体の検出に用いた例を示す。この実施例の場合、暗電流の影響を抑制できるため、寒剤を使用せずにフェムトワットレベルの微弱光が検出可能である。 In addition, detection of luminescence from the labeled probe is performed as follows.
By irradiating magnetic beads-antigen-SWCNT-DSPE-PEG-antibody with a detection wavelength of 660 nm, light emission at a wavelength of about 1200 nm can be observed from SWCNT. Its near-infrared emission spectrum is measured by a spectroscopic system equipped with an InGaAs detector.
Furthermore, in the case of fluorescence measurement, since excitation light can be modulated, the detection level of faint light using a lock-in amplifier detection method that performs synchronous detection corresponding to the modulation period is set to a dark current equivalent level ( It is possible to improve from a few pW) to a shot noise limit (up to several tens of fW).

Magnetic beads-antigen-SWCNT-DSPE-PEG- The example used for the detection of an antibody is shown. In this embodiment, since the influence of dark current can be suppressed, faint watt level faint light can be detected without using a cryogen.

実施例７．3波長による修飾異性体検出のための装置の作製
臨床検査に於いて、血清中に存在するタンパクの翻訳後修飾の程度を測定する事により、疾病の存在や進展を検出評価して、治療方針を決定するための重要な情報を得ている。その例として、１）糖化ヘモグロビンに代表される糖化タンパクの定量的検出、および、２）胎児性がん抗原(AFP)やMUC1などの疾患に関連して出現する特徴的な糖鎖構造で修飾された糖タンパクの定量的検出を挙げる事ができる。
１）糖化タンパクは、グルコースの非酵素的な糖化反応の結果生じる物質で、ａ)ヘモグロビンAや水晶体クリスタリン等の細胞内タンパク、ｂ)アルブミン、アポタンパク、トランスフェリン、ハプトグロビンなどの血漿タンパク、ｃ)カテプシンや膵リボアーゼなどの酵素類、ｄ)血管内皮や赤血球膜タンパク質などの膜タンパクの糖化物が、その例として知られている。糖化ヘモグロビンや糖化アルブミンの検出は、耐糖能異常や糖尿病の他、肝硬変などの検出評価および診断に有効である。
２）疾患に関連した糖鎖で修飾されたタンパクとして例えば、ａ)AFPのフコシル化を検出するためLens culimaris agglutinin-A(LCA)を活用して行なわれるAFP-L3検査は精度の高い肝細胞がんの検査であるし、ｂ)Wisteria floribunda agglutinin (WFA)が反応するMUC1の検出は、胆道系に由来するがんのスクリーニングに有効であるし、ｃ)WFAの反応するM2BPの検出は、ウイルス性肝炎で進行する線維化の進行を評価するのに有効な検査であるし、ｄ)α-1 acid glycoproteinにおけるAspergillus Oryzae I-fucose specific lectin(AOL)とRicinus Communis Agglutinin (RCA-I)の結合率から、肝臓で生じる線維化を評価する事が可能であるし、ｅ)血液中のシアル化糖鎖MUC1の検出は、間質性肺炎を検出する指標となっている。
以上いずれのバイオマーカー検査も、特定のタンパクに生じる翻訳後の修飾をそれぞれ、定量的に検出測定した後、疾患に特徴的な翻訳後修飾が生じている割合を算出することで、疾患の進行度を評価しているものである。２ないし３項目の測定結果をもとに計算される理由は、一つの反応系で同時に、複数の修飾異性体タンパクを測定できないことが理由である。このような状況を鑑み、以下、１）の実施例では、糖化血清アルブミンの直接検出を、２）では糖タンパクにおける複数種の糖鎖修飾について、同時検出を行なう。 Example 7 Preparation of a device for detection of modified isomers by three wavelengths In clinical examination, the degree of posttranslational modification of proteins present in serum is measured to detect and evaluate the presence and progression of disease, and treatment policy Get important information to determine. Examples include 1) quantitative detection of glycated proteins represented by glycated hemoglobin, and 2) modification with characteristic sugar chain structures that appear in relation to diseases such as fetal cancer antigen (AFP) and MUC1. Quantitative detection of the glycoprotein produced can be mentioned.
1) Glycated protein is a substance resulting from the non-enzymatic glycation reaction of glucose, a) intracellular proteins such as hemoglobin A and lens crystallin, b) plasma proteins such as albumin, apoprotein, transferrin, haptoglobin, c) Examples thereof include enzymes such as cathepsins and pancreatic riboases, and d) glycated products of membrane proteins such as vascular endothelium and erythrocyte membrane proteins. Detection of glycated hemoglobin and glycated albumin is effective for detection evaluation and diagnosis of impaired glucose tolerance and diabetes, as well as cirrhosis of the liver.

In any of the biomarker tests described above, each post-translational modification that occurs in a specific protein is quantitatively detected and measured, and then the ratio of the post-translational modification that is characteristic of the disease is calculated. The degree is evaluated. The reason for calculation based on the measurement results of 2 to 3 items is that a plurality of modified isomer proteins cannot be measured simultaneously in one reaction system. In view of such circumstances, in the following 1), glycated serum albumin is directly detected, and in 2), multiple types of sugar chain modifications in glycoprotein are simultaneously detected.

Dynabeads ProteinGのプロトコールに従って、PBSで5μg/mLに調整した抗ヒトアルブミン抗体200μLを、1.5mgのDynabeads ProteinGと10分間反応させて、抗体の結合したDynabeadsを調整する。
次に、糖化アルブミンを含む血液サンプル溶液500μLと室温で2時間反応させた後、抗体の結合したDynabeadsで抗原を回収する。よく洗浄した後、SWCNT-抗体ヒトアルブミン抗体100μgと、室温で2時間反応させたのち、PBSでよく洗浄する。Dynabeadsに結合しているSWCNT-抗体ヒトアルブミン抗体に由来するSWCNTの近赤外発光を定量的に測定して、血清中のアルブミン量を定量する。また、アルブミンに対する糖化アルブミンの比率は、1000nm-1400nmで捉えられるアルブミンと糖化アルブミンに特徴的な光吸収を利用して算出する。 1) Detection of glycated albumin:
According to the protocol of Dynabeads Protein G, 200 μL of anti-human albumin antibody adjusted to 5 μg / mL with PBS is reacted with 1.5 mg of Dynabeads Protein G for 10 minutes to prepare antibody-bound Dynabeads.
Next, after reacting with 500 μL of a blood sample solution containing glycated albumin at room temperature for 2 hours, the antigen is recovered with Dynabeads to which the antibody is bound. After washing well, react with 100 μg of SWCNT-antibody human albumin antibody at room temperature for 2 hours, and then wash well with PBS. SWCNT-antibody bound to Dynabeads Quantitatively measure the near-infrared emission of SWCNT derived from human albumin antibody to quantify the amount of albumin in serum. The ratio of glycated albumin to albumin is calculated using light absorption characteristic of albumin and glycated albumin captured at 1000 nm to 1400 nm.

The ratio of glycated albumin to albumin is calculated using light absorption characteristic of albumin and glycated albumin captured at 1000 nm to 1400 nm.
２）疾患に関連した糖鎖で修飾されたタンパクの検出：
Dynabeads ProteinGのプロトコールに従って、PBSで5μg/mLに調整した抗ヒトα-1 acid glycoprotein抗体(または、抗M2BP抗体、抗MUC1抗体)200μLを、1.5mgのDynabeads ProteinGと10分間反応させて、抗体の結合したDynabeadsを調製する。次に、血液サンプル溶液500μLと室温で2時間反応させた後、抗体の結合したDynabeadsで抗原を回収する。回収したDynabeadsを良く洗浄した後、Biotin化したWFAまたは、MAL-II、AOL、RCA-Iを室温で20分間反応させる。PBSで良く洗浄した後、SWCNT-付加ストレプトアビジンを反応させて、上記レクチンの結合状態を発光により測定する。
このような方法では、サンプルに特段の前処理をする必要がないので、１つの生体サンプルについて、複数のレクチンの反応性を検出することが可能である。
例えば、α-1 acid glycoproteinにみられる異なる３種類の糖鎖修飾異性体を同時に検出するためにはまず、抗ヒトα-1 acid glycoprotein抗体を結合させたDynabeadsで血液等の検体からα-1 acid glycoproteinを回収し、あらかじめそれぞれに反応させておいた励起波長の異なるSWCNT-付加ストレプトアビジンとビオチン化AOL，ビオチン化 MAL-II、ビオチン化RCA-Iを後に、同時に反応させることで、一度に３つの修飾異性体を定量評価することができる。
また、SWCNTを発光波長の異なる３種類に分離して用い、各々に検出すべき３種類の抗原に特異的な抗体を付加することにより得られた３種類のSWCNT－抗体を用いることで、３種類のタンパクに付いて検体中の存在量を決定することができる。抗ヒトα-1 acid glycoprotein抗体、抗M2BP抗体、抗MUC1抗体を結合させたDynabeadsでこれらに対する抗原を回収し、回収された抗原を検出するための検出抗体をそれぞれ、励起波長の異なるSWCNTによりラベルしておいて使用することで、同時に、３つの抗原量を定量評価することができる。 2) Detection of proteins modified with sugar chains related to diseases:
According to the Dynabeads Protein G protocol, 200 μL of anti-human α-1 acid glycoprotein antibody (or anti-M2BP antibody or anti-MUC1 antibody) adjusted to 5 μg / mL with PBS was reacted with 1.5 mg of Dynabeads Protein G for 10 minutes. Prepare bound Dynabeads. Next, after reacting with 500 μL of the blood sample solution at room temperature for 2 hours, the antigen is recovered with Dynabeads to which the antibody is bound. The collected Dynabeads are thoroughly washed, and then biotinylated WFA or MAL-II, AOL, RCA-I is reacted at room temperature for 20 minutes. After thoroughly washing with PBS, SWCNT-added streptavidin is reacted, and the binding state of the lectin is measured by luminescence.
In such a method, since it is not necessary to perform a special pretreatment on the sample, it is possible to detect the reactivity of a plurality of lectins in one biological sample.
For example, in order to simultaneously detect three different types of sugar chain-modified isomers found in α-1 acid glycoprotein, first of all, α-1 acid glycoprotein antibody to which α-1 By collecting acid glycoproteins and reacting them in advance with SWCNT-added streptavidin with different excitation wavelengths and biotinylated AOL, biotinylated MAL-II, and biotinylated RCA-I at the same time, Three modified isomers can be quantitatively evaluated.
In addition, by using SWCNT separated into three types having different emission wavelengths, and using three types of SWCNT-antibodies obtained by adding specific antibodies to the three types of antigens to be detected, It is possible to determine the abundance in the specimen for various types of proteins. Anti-human α-1 acid glycoprotein antibody, anti-M2BP antibody, and anti-MUC1 antibody-bound Dynabeads collect the antigens against them, and the detection antibodies for detecting the recovered antigens are labeled with SWCNTs with different excitation wavelengths. By using it, the three antigen amounts can be quantitatively evaluated at the same time.

図１３は、小型近赤外分光器を装着した全血分光蛍光装置の断面模式図である。SWCNT赤外蛍光標識を付加された全血サンプルに対して発光ダイオードにより間欠的に近赤外光を照射すると、SWCNTは、赤外波長帯域において、発光ダイオード光に同期して蛍光を発する。この蛍光を、ロウパスフィルターにより照明光波長成分を除去し、凹面グレーティングにより、近赤外光検出アレイに分光しつつ集光する。同図では、それぞれ分光波長帯域の異なる３系統の分光計測システムを配置し、同一サンプルにおいて、同時に３つの波長帯における蛍光および吸収を測定する。
FIG. 13 is a schematic cross-sectional view of a whole blood spectroscopic fluorescence apparatus equipped with a small near infrared spectrometer. When the whole blood sample to which the SWCNT infrared fluorescent label is added is intermittently irradiated with near infrared light by a light emitting diode, the SWCNT emits fluorescence in synchronization with the light emitting diode light in the infrared wavelength band. The fluorescent light is condensed while removing the wavelength component of the illumination light with a low-pass filter and spectrally splitting into the near-infrared light detection array with the concave grating. In the figure, three systems of spectroscopic measurement systems having different spectral wavelength bands are arranged, and fluorescence and absorption in three wavelength bands are measured simultaneously in the same sample.
現在のバイオマーカーの検出は、シグナル検出に利用する光波長の制限があるため、臨床検査では通常、ｉ）採血した全血から血球成分(赤血球や白血球、血小板)を除いた血漿、または、ii）血液を凝固させて血球成分と線維素を除いた血清をサンプルとして測定する。フィルター濾過により除去する方法も取り入れられているが、いずれの操作でもこれらの成分が除ききれない他、操作で生じる赤血球溶血によるヘモグロビンの混入がおこる。これらの生体由来物質混入は、疾患バイオマーカー検出評価で利用する発光(蛍光)を妨害吸収してしまい疾病検出感度を下げてしまう。同時に、血球成分が非特異的に発光し、プローブ発光検出の際にノイズの原因ともなる。こうした血球成分によるプローブ発光の妨害吸収や自家発光ノイズは、早期診断を目的とした疾患バイオマーカーの高感度検出を邪魔し、その実用化において非常に大きな障害となっている。
図１４は、図１３で示した装置により測定されたスペクトラムを、従来方法におけるスペクトラムと比較したものである。従来技術では、蛍光標識の発光波長は、高々800nmであるため、そのままではヘモグロビンの自家発光スペクトラムがバックグラウンド光として標識による蛍光を覆ってしまうので、まず、遠心分離器など大型の前処理装置により、赤血球を取り除く必要がある。また、蛍光標識の発光波長域が狭いので、通常１回の検出には１波長のみを使用するため、複数の抗原を検出するためには、それと同数の検体を用意する必要がある。
一方、本発明による蛍光検出装置では、ヘモグロビンによる発光帯よりも長波長における蛍光を高感度にて検出することができるため、サンプルは全血のままで解析装置に導入することができ、煩雑な前処理が不要であること、これにより遠心分離やフィルタリングの際の溶血などの影響が無いこと、その結果感度が数十倍向上すること、などの特徴がある。
また、肝機能、癌マーカーに加え、波長2μmまでの光の吸収を計測することにより、生活習慣病の監視に不可欠な血糖値の計測が安価に可能である。
さらにまた、可視、赤外の複数の発光帯で分光計測を行うことが可能であり、数種類の抗原をまとめて１つの反応ポットで検出を行うことができる。その結果、検体必要量が少ない、ランニングコストが安いなどの特徴がある。
図１５は、小型分光器の代わりに、発光ダイオードとフィルターおよび単体の受光素子を３組配置した例を示す。この装置は、構造が簡単で安価であるため、診療所や個人病院における臨床検査に使用できる。
図１６は、本発明で説明した検体分注、抗体添加、磁気ビーズ洗浄などの検体の処理を自動的に処理し、近赤外波長にて微弱蛍光を検出する装置の模式図を示す。比較的簡単な処理により、ヘモグロビンによる背景光を除去できる。 Since detection of current biomarkers is limited by the light wavelength used for signal detection, in clinical examinations, i) plasma obtained by removing blood cell components (red blood cells, white blood cells, and platelets) from collected blood, or ii ) Serum obtained by coagulating blood to remove blood cell components and fibrin is measured as a sample. Although the method of removing by filter filtration is also taken in, these components cannot be removed by any operation, and hemoglobin is mixed by erythrocyte hemolysis caused by the operation. The contamination of these bio-derived substances obstructs and absorbs the luminescence (fluorescence) used in the disease biomarker detection evaluation and lowers the disease detection sensitivity. At the same time, blood cell components emit light non-specifically, which causes noise when detecting probe luminescence. Such interference and absorption of probe luminescence by autologous blood cell components and self-luminous noise interfere with high-sensitivity detection of disease biomarkers for the purpose of early diagnosis, and are very serious obstacles to their practical application.
FIG. 14 compares the spectrum measured by the apparatus shown in FIG. 13 with the spectrum in the conventional method. In the prior art, since the emission wavelength of the fluorescent label is at most 800 nm, the self-emission spectrum of hemoglobin will cover the fluorescence due to the label as background light, so first of all, using a large pretreatment device such as a centrifuge Need to remove red blood cells. In addition, since the emission wavelength range of the fluorescent label is narrow, normally only one wavelength is used for one detection, and therefore it is necessary to prepare the same number of specimens in order to detect a plurality of antigens.
On the other hand, the fluorescence detection device according to the present invention can detect fluorescence at a wavelength longer than the emission band of hemoglobin with high sensitivity, so that the sample can be introduced into the analysis device as whole blood, which is complicated. There is a feature that pre-treatment is unnecessary, that there is no influence of hemolysis or the like at the time of centrifugation or filtering, and as a result, sensitivity is improved by several tens of times.
In addition to liver function and cancer markers, by measuring light absorption up to a wavelength of 2 μm, it is possible to inexpensively measure blood glucose levels that are essential for monitoring lifestyle-related diseases.
Furthermore, spectroscopic measurement can be performed in a plurality of visible and infrared emission bands, and several types of antigens can be collected and detected in one reaction pot. As a result, there are features such as a small amount of specimen required and a low running cost.
FIG. 15 shows an example in which three sets of light emitting diodes, filters, and a single light receiving element are arranged instead of a small spectroscope. Since this device is simple and inexpensive, it can be used for clinical examinations in clinics and private hospitals.
FIG. 16 shows a schematic diagram of an apparatus for automatically processing the sample processing such as sample dispensing, antibody addition, and magnetic bead washing described in the present invention, and detecting weak fluorescence at near infrared wavelengths. Background light caused by hemoglobin can be removed by a relatively simple process.
図１４は、図１３で示した装置により測定されたスペクトラムを、従来方法におけるスペクトラムと比較したものである。従来技術では、蛍光標識の発光波長は、高々800nmであるため、そのままではヘモグロビンの自家発光スペクトラムがバックグラウンド光として標識による蛍光を覆ってしまうので、まず、遠心分離器など大型の前処理装置により、赤血球を取り除く必要がある。また、蛍光標識の発光波長域が狭いので、通常１回の検出には１波長のみを使用するため、複数の抗原を検出するためには、それと同数の検体を用意する必要がある。
一方、本発明による蛍光検出装置では、ヘモグロビンによる発光帯よりも長波長における蛍光を高感度にて検出することができるため、サンプルは全血のままで解析装置に導入することができ、煩雑な前処理が不要であること、これにより遠心分離やフィルタリングの際の溶血などの影響が無いこと、その結果感度が数十倍向上すること、などの特徴がある。
また、肝機能、癌マーカーに加え、波長2μmまでの光の吸収を計測することにより、生活習慣病の監視に不可欠な血糖値の計測が安価に可能である。
さらにまた、可視、赤外の複数の発光帯で分光計測を行うことが可能であり、数種類の抗原をまとめて１つの反応ポットで検出を行うことができる。その結果、検体必要量が少ない、ランニングコストが安いなどの特徴がある。
図１５は、小型分光器の代わりに、発光ダイオードとフィルターおよび単体の受光素子を３組配置した例を示す。この装置は、構造が簡単で安価であるため、診療所や個人病院における臨床検査に使用できる。
図１６は、本発明で説明した検体分注、抗体添加、磁気ビーズ洗浄などの検体の処理を自動的に処理し、近赤外波長にて微弱蛍光を検出する装置の模式図を示す。比較的簡単な処理により、ヘモグロビンによる背景光を除去できる。 Since detection of current biomarkers is limited by the light wavelength used for signal detection, in clinical examinations, i) plasma obtained by removing blood cell components (red blood cells, white blood cells, and platelets) from collected blood, or ii ) Serum obtained by coagulating blood to remove blood cell components and fibrin is measured as a sample. Although the method of removing by filter filtration is also taken in, these components cannot be removed by any operation, and hemoglobin is mixed by erythrocyte hemolysis caused by the operation. The contamination of these bio-derived substances obstructs and absorbs the luminescence (fluorescence) used in the disease biomarker detection evaluation and lowers the disease detection sensitivity. At the same time, blood cell components emit light non-specifically, which causes noise when detecting probe luminescence. Such interference and absorption of probe luminescence by autologous blood cell components and self-luminous noise interfere with high-sensitivity detection of disease biomarkers for the purpose of early diagnosis, and are very serious obstacles to their practical application.
FIG. 14 compares the spectrum measured by the apparatus shown in FIG. 13 with the spectrum in the conventional method. In the prior art, since the emission wavelength of the fluorescent label is at most 800 nm, the self-emission spectrum of hemoglobin will cover the fluorescence due to the label as background light, so first of all, using a large pretreatment device such as a centrifuge Need to remove red blood cells. In addition, since the emission wavelength range of the fluorescent label is narrow, normally only one wavelength is used for one detection, and therefore it is necessary to prepare the same number of specimens in order to detect a plurality of antigens.
On the other hand, the fluorescence detection device according to the present invention can detect fluorescence at a wavelength longer than the emission band of hemoglobin with high sensitivity, so that the sample can be introduced into the analysis device as whole blood, which is complicated. There is a feature that pre-treatment is unnecessary, that there is no influence of hemolysis or the like at the time of centrifugation or filtering, and as a result, sensitivity is improved by several tens of times.
In addition to liver function and cancer markers, by measuring light absorption up to a wavelength of 2 μm, it is possible to inexpensively measure blood glucose levels that are essential for monitoring lifestyle-related diseases.
Furthermore, spectroscopic measurement can be performed in a plurality of visible and infrared emission bands, and several types of antigens can be collected and detected in one reaction pot. As a result, there are features such as a small amount of specimen required and a low running cost.
FIG. 15 shows an example in which three sets of light emitting diodes, filters, and a single light receiving element are arranged instead of a small spectroscope. Since this device is simple and inexpensive, it can be used for clinical examinations in clinics and private hospitals.
FIG. 16 shows a schematic diagram of an apparatus for automatically processing the sample processing such as sample dispensing, antibody addition, and magnetic bead washing described in the present invention, and detecting weak fluorescence at near infrared wavelengths. Background light caused by hemoglobin can be removed by a relatively simple process.
