Description

一种评价疫苗质量和疫苗保护效期的方法 技术领域
本发明属于生物技术领域,涉及一种利用飞行时间质谱技术基于免疫反应指纹谱来评价疫苗质量和疫苗保护效期的方法,属于疫苗检测领域。
背景技术
免疫效果监测是指通过检测机体内相关抗体水平是否达到预防疾病所需的最低水平,从而判断个体的免疫保护力。成功有效的预防接种或者自然感染后体内均会产生IgG抗体。但每个机体内在情况、机体对疫苗的反应以及机体的代谢等状况是不同的,所以预防接种后不同机体产生的抗体水平、抗体在体内衰减的速度以及存留时间也有所不同,针对相应疾病的保护力也会有差异。
因此,及时对完成基础免疫的人群进行体内保护性抗体检测,提示感染风险或免疫补种,能帮助预防疾病。
评价免疫效果的传统技术,是针对检测机体相关抗体或关联的细胞因子、病原体水平,即需要检测体内的相关抗体或细胞因子是否达到一定水平,或病原体是否下降到预期水平。
例如,彭怡(《中国学校卫生》,2000年第21卷第1期)报道了结核免疫水平监测方法,该方法利用卡介苗纯蛋白衍生物(PPD)作为指标五,通过PPD试验阳转率的卡痕反应,来检测接种者结核免疫水平,取得良好的效果。
耿丽娜(《中国校医》,2017年第31卷第10期)报道了采用酶联免疫吸附试验检测血清中风疹抗体浓度,通过软件分析人群总体抗体水平、评价人群免疫力和年龄、疫苗接种对抗体水平的影响,也取得良好的效果。
然而,这种评价技术需要针对特定抗体或细胞因子及病原体来预先设计待检标志物,例如酶联免疫吸附检测是利用病毒的敏感性和特异性来获取检测结果,颗粒凝集检测法是通过培养病毒来观察病毒的变化过程,快速诊断试剂检测法是利用病毒与试剂之间发生的化学反应来取得实验结果,抗体确认实验检测法是利用放射免疫沉淀和免疫印迹使用来取得抗体检测结果。因此,传统疫苗效果的评价技术只能评价单一指标的免疫效果,不具备通用性。
随着技术的发展,现有出现了利用多肽指纹图谱技术来检测免疫后的抗体水平。然而,该技术仍然存在如上问题,即需要预先确定机体产生的相关抗体或其片段的特征多肽,并以此为标志物进行检测。
因此,目前需要一种评价疫苗效果的新方法,该方法不针对与抗体或其片段相关的特定标志物,而是监测多种疫苗免疫反应后体液中分子免疫变化的情况,具有很高的通用性。
发明内容
本发明第一原理在于,通常接种DNA或RNA病毒疫苗2-4周内,即可产生有效滴度的抗体。然而,发明人通过质谱试验发现,接种后机体所产生的免疫反应的所出现的特征蛋白片段或特征多肽片段,其中一些特征片段并不专属于机体产生的抗体或抗体片段。通过优化筛选所得到的评价体系,并根据DNA或RNA病毒类型的产生抗体的各个已知时点,筛选疫苗免疫效应相关的非抗体的特征多肽片段,并由此建立特征质谱模型,就可以建立起针对该疫苗的免疫效果的评价方法。由于该方法根据疫苗接种前后的体内特征多肽而非特征抗体片段的差异,因此能快速而精准地评价机体免疫反应的变化。
本发明第二原理在于,通过上述原理和方法,针对不同疫苗筛选得到的特征蛋白或多肽片段组合物,通过分析其蛋白序列,从而构建用于检测或评价该疫苗免疫效果的质谱模型。

具体实施方式
以下实施例用于说明本发明,但不用来限制本发明的范围。
实施例1.血清免疫反应指纹谱表征新冠灭活疫苗接种带来的免疫反应变化
试验目的:对未接种新冠灭活疫苗和已接种疫苗不同时间点的志愿者血清进行了免疫反应指纹谱分析。通过免疫反应指纹谱,希望能评价免疫过程中的血清变化,并评定疫苗的免疫效应。
(一)样本收集
95名新冠疫苗接种志愿者参与本次研究。
每名志愿者均在如下4个时间节点采集血清样本:
(1)第一针疫苗前(第1天);
(2)第一针疫苗后3周(第22+n天);
(3)第二针疫苗后1周(第29+n天);
(4)第二针疫苗后3周(第50+n天);
所有志愿者均为18~59岁健康受试者,且自愿接种新型冠状病毒灭活疫苗。志愿者为男性或非妊娠期、非哺乳期的女性。无重大疾病史、药物过敏史及疫苗接种过敏史。无新冠肺炎病史或感染史,并在采样时持有健康码“绿码”。由此,可以保证所有志愿者体内不会出现近期因疾病而引发的免疫反应。其中,将样本随机分为2份,分别用于模型的建立和验证。其中85例样本用于模型建立,10例样本用于模型验证,以测试质谱模型的灵敏度、特异度、准确率、精密度。
所有样本均由不含添加剂的真空血清采集管采集。采集并分离血清后将血清样本分装冷冻在-80℃低温冰箱中。
血清样品的质谱预处理:在进行质谱检测实验前,从低温冰箱取出分装好的血清样品,放于湿冰上。化冻60-90分钟。
(二)样品准备
将每份样本的5μl血清稀释在45μl样本处理液(Bioyong Technologies Inc.)中。然后取出10μl已稀释的血清,与10μl基质溶液(Bioyong Technologies Inc.)进行混合。
取出1μl混合液滴加至不锈钢靶板。室温干燥后,将样品进样MALDI-TOF MS质谱仪(Clin-TOF-II;北京毅新博创生物科技有限公司)。每个样品平行测试3次。
(三)质谱数据采集
应用Clin-TOF质谱仪(北京毅新博创生物科技有限公司)。设置合适的激光能量采集样品结晶点的某一个点。每个样品点选取50个激光轰击位置,每个位置轰击10次,即对每个样品结晶点进行500次激光轰击,收集谱图。激光频率:30Hz。数据收集范围:3~30KDa。在每次采集样品结晶点前用标准品进行外标校准,平均分子量偏差小于500ppm。
实验质控:
(1)用相同的质谱参数检测空白基质结晶点,若出现明显质谱峰则认为基质溶液质量不合格,需更换一支新的基质。
(2)用标准品进行外标校准时需保证不同校准品点的质量偏移不超过500ppm,5个校准品峰必须同时满足要求。
(3)用BE-V 2.0软件(北京毅新博创生物科技有限公司)生成峰列表,并统计出峰数量。若出峰数量低于20个,则需重新采集谱图。
(4)选取8个血清中故有的多肽峰作为内标质控内标峰。若有6~8个内标峰可以被检测到,且内标峰分子量偏移范围不超过2‰则认为谱图合格。否则需重新采集谱图。内标峰m/z如下:6426m/z、6623m/z、8753m/z、8785m/z、8904m/z、9118m/z、9409m/z、9700m/z。
(四)原始数据预处理
MALDI-TOF原始数据用BE-V 2.0软件(北京毅新博创生物科技有限公司)进行内标二次校准。所用内标峰m/z为:6426m/z、6623m/z、8753m/z、8785m/z、8904m/z、9118m/z、9409m/z、9700m/z。然后BE-V 2.0软件(北京毅新博创生物科技有限公司)对谱图进行处理。谱图处理内容包括方差稳定化、平滑降噪、去基线、峰强度归一化、谱图平均、谱图对齐、谱峰识别、谱峰分箱等。保留组内出峰频率不低于25%的峰。最后,将得到的矩阵用于下面的分析。经log2变换后,将峰强度矩阵进行分位数归一化。在所有样本中,缺失值用最小值来填充。
(五)特征蛋白的选择
经过强度归一化和缺失值归一化后,训练组的峰值用如下三种机器学习方法进行分析:偏最小二乘回归分析法(PLS-DA)、火山图分析法(Volcano Plot)和配对t检验法。在偏最小二乘回归分析法中选取vip大于1.8的峰;在火山图分析法中设定Fc大于1.6且P等于0.05;在配对t检验法中,选取P值小于0.05且比例大于1.2的峰。通过对各组之间差异峰进行分析,选取共有差异峰作为特征峰建立模型。
共13个特征峰用于后续的模型分析。其中下调表达的特征峰为:3025m/z、13761m/z、13882m/z、13939m/z、14044m/z、14092m/z、14150m/z、15124m/z、15868m/z、28195m/z;上调表达的特征峰为:3198m/z、3213m/z、6609m/z。
不同组样本的免疫反应指纹谱对比图参见附图1,其中由下至上分别为未接种新冠疫苗的健康人血清图谱、接种过1针灭活疫苗后3周的志愿者血清图谱、接种过2针灭活疫苗后1周的志愿者血清图谱、接种过2针灭活疫苗后3周的志愿者血清图谱)。相比于未接种疫苗的血清,接种1~2针疫苗的血清在3025m/z、13761m/z、13882m/z、13939m/z、14044m/z、14092m/z、14150m/z、15124m/z、15868m/z、28195m/z处出现明显的峰强度下调;而在3198m/z、3213m/z、6609m/z处出现明显的峰强度上调。13个特征峰的上下调情况详见附图2。
(六)模型算法
尝试用4种机器学习方法用训练组数据的多肽指纹图谱特征峰建立模型,通过交叉验证准确率评估模型结果。分析的4中机器学习方法如下:逻辑回归(LR),支持向量机(SVM),随机森林(RF)和偏最小二乘判别分析(PLS-DA)。在比较了四种算法建立模型的预测准确度、灵敏度、特异度和精密度后发现,随机森林(RF)模型表现最好,其准确度、精密度和灵敏度均超过80%,是最适合的模型算法。因此选取RF模型(灵敏度=85.7%,特异度 =66.7%,准确率=80.0%,精密度=85.7%)应用于对疫苗免疫反应的评价。
(七)新冠疫苗免疫反应的特征多肽的鉴定
选取特征峰强度较高的3个血清样本,对实施例1中所确定的特征峰进行二级质谱鉴定。样本经DTT还原后,用tricine-SDS-PAGE分离。各条带经胶内酶切后进行二级质谱鉴定。
采用nano-LC-MS/MS平台进行多肽序列鉴定,包括nanoflow HPLC(Thermo Fisher Scientific,USA)和Q-Exactive mass spectrometer(Thermo Fisher Scientific,USA)。离子模式为正离子模式,扫描范围为300-1400m/z。一级质谱分辨率为70000,二级质谱分辨率为17500。
液相分析柱:型号:Exsil Pure 120C18(Dr.Maisch GmbH,USA);规格:360μm×12cm;内径:150μm;粒:1.9um。洗脱方式:流动相从7%B液(80%乙腈,0.1%甲酸)到45%B液,线性洗脱。流速:600nl/min;总时间38分钟。
鉴定结果见下表1。

由表1可知,所鉴定的特征多肽,均来自于已知的细胞因子片段或血红蛋白亚基片段等,均不是抗体或抗体片段。
(八)模型验证
将步骤(七)中验证的多肽指纹图谱,通过BE-V 2.0软件进行处理,构建新冠疫苗的免疫反应的标准质谱模型。
将验证组的10例样本用同样的方法进行免疫反应指纹谱采集,并通过BE-V 2.0软件与上述标准质谱模型进行比较,验证模型灵敏度、特异度、准确率、精密度结果详见下表。
表2.免疫反应指纹谱法模型验证结果

RF 0.857 0.667 0.800 0.857
PLS-DA 0.714 0.667 0.700 0.833
Linear SVM 0.714 0.667 0.700 0.833
LR 0.571 0.667 0.600 0.800
(九)新冠免疫多肽指纹谱表征法时间序列分析
利用主成分分析(PCA)方法对接种前和接种后的三个采时间点采集得到的多肽指纹谱进行MALDI-TOF质谱的时间序列分析,结果如附图3所示。第0天的免疫多肽指纹谱可以与第21天、第28天和第42天很好地区分开。说明在第一次注射疫苗后,人血清中的蛋白和多肽即会发生显著的变化。
综上,根据上表所发现的特征多肽已经构建了标准的多肽指纹图谱,预示着可以表征新冠疫苗的免疫效应,以及用于评价疫苗质量,和/或,分析疫苗保护效果时间序列或疫苗保护的效期,和/或,疫苗保护时间。
实施例2.血清免疫反应指纹谱与新冠中和抗体关联性分析
试验目的:虽然接种疫苗后,通过人体产生的抗体(即结合抗体,或免疫球蛋白)的水平可以评价疫苗的免疫效应,但对于某些病毒性抗原进入人体之前或之中,如果体内就存在与病毒内部的颗粒结合的更小蛋白(即中和抗体),那么可以阻止病毒感染细胞,从而破坏病毒颗粒。因此,临床试验中不仅要测总的抗体水平,更重要的是要单独测中和抗体水平。因此,检测抗体特别是中和抗体(NAbs)的产生对于大多数COVID-19疫苗引发人体对SARS-COV-2的保护机制具有重要意义。在本实施例中,使用实施例1相同的方法,将接种2针新冠灭活疫苗3周后的志愿者血清按是否产生中和抗体分为两组进行免疫反应指纹谱分析,试图证实免疫反应指纹谱(或指纹图谱)可以用于表征疫苗接种者是否会产生中和抗体。
(一)样本收集
51名新冠疫苗接种志愿者参与本次研究。每名志愿者均在第二针疫苗后3周(第50+n天)采集血清样本。
所有志愿者均为18~59岁健康受试者,且自愿接种新型冠状病毒灭活疫苗。志愿者为非妊娠期、非哺乳期的女性。无重大疾病史、药物过敏史及疫苗接种过敏史。无新冠肺炎病史或感染史,并在采样时持有健康码“绿码”。由此,可以保证所有志愿者体内不会出现近期因疾病而引发的免疫反应。

(2)用标准品进行外标校准时需保证不同校准品点的质量偏移不超过500ppm,5个校准品峰必须同时满足要求。
(3)用BE-V 2.0软件(北京毅新博创生物科技有限公司)生成峰列表,并统计出峰数量。若出峰数量不低于20个,则认为谱图合格。否则需重新采集谱图。
得到的唾液多肽指纹图谱如附图6所示,其中,图中a曲线为未接种新冠灭活疫苗者唾液免疫多肽指纹表征谱;b曲线为已接种2针新冠灭活疫苗者唾液免疫多肽指纹表征谱。由图6所示,已接种2针新冠灭活疫苗者唾液免疫多肽指纹表征谱。应当指出的是,虽然图6b,在9000m/z附近出现明显的特征峰,同时在3484m/z以及11000m/z出现明显下降,然而,这仅是出现在个别样本中,不具有统计学意义,因此未被选中用于建立模型)。
(四)原始数据预处理
MALDI-TOF原始数据用BE1.0软件(北京毅新博创生物科技有限公司)对谱图进行处理。谱图处理内容包括方差稳定化、平滑降噪、去基线、峰强度归一化、谱图平均、谱图对齐、谱峰识别、谱峰分箱等。保留组内出峰频率不低于25%的峰。最后,将得到的矩阵用于下面的分析。经log2变换后,将峰强度矩阵进行分位数归一化。在所有样本中,缺失值用最小值来填充。
(五)特征蛋白的选择
经过强度归一化和缺失值归一化后,训练组的峰值用配对t检验法进行分析。选取P值小于0.01的峰作为特征峰建立模型。各个特征峰在2组样本中的均值-方差图详见图7。在均值-方差图中,不同组别的样品的强度均值和方差分别列出。左栏样本已完成2针疫苗接种;右栏样本为未接种疫苗或仅接种1针疫苗样本。横轴为组别名称,纵轴为峰强度。3条横线中,中间横线代表本组数据该特征峰的强度均值;上下两条横线代表本组样本该特征峰强度的离散程度。
结果:相比于未完成完整接种(2针疫苗接种)的样本,完整接种样本的唾液免疫反应指纹谱在3484m/z处出现明显的峰强度下调;而在3799m/z、3878m/z、4176m/z、4186m/z、4609m/z处出现明显的峰强度上调。各特征峰在两种中的表达情况详见附图7。
模型主成分分析(PCA)图见附图8。图中绿色点代表已完成2针疫苗注射的样本,红色点代表未完成完整注射的样本。图中展示了两组样本点在三维空间中的投影分布情况。两组样本点分布越分散,代表模型的区分潜力越大。
(六)模型算法
尝试用3种机器学习方法用训练组数据的多肽指纹图谱特征峰建立模型,通过准确率评估模型结果。分析的3中机器学习方法如下:Fishert线性分类判别,K临近算法(KNN),支持向量机(SVM)。在比较了三种算法建立模型的预测准确度后发现,K临近算法(KNN)模型表现最好,其灵敏度和特异度度均为100%,是最适合的模型算法。因此选取KNN模型应用于对疫苗免疫反应的评价。
(七)模型验证
将验证组的22例样本用同样的方法进行免疫反应指纹谱采集,并将结果导入KNN模型,模型验证结果详见下表。
