1.測定方法
 Vanin-1タンパク質をイムノクロマトグラフィーにより測定する方法(以下、「測定方法」と称することがある)に関する。
 測定方法は、検体と抗体とを接触させることと、検査ストリップ上で抗体とVanin-1タンパク質との複合体を測定することを含む。
1. Measurement Method This invention relates to a method for measuring Vanin-1 protein by immunochromatography (hereinafter sometimes referred to as the "measurement method").
The measurement method includes contacting a sample with an antibody and measuring a complex between the antibody and Vanin-1 protein on a test strip.
 Vanin-1タンパク質(以下、単に「Vanin-1」と称することがある)は、ヒトの場合、National Center for Biotechnology Information (NCBI) Reference Sequence: NP_004657.2として登録されているタンパク質であり、配列番号1で表されるポリペプチドである。 イムノクロマトグラフィーは、検査ストリップ上で、抗原や抗体を測定する方法である。 Vanin-1 protein (hereinafter sometimes simply referred to as "Vanin-1") is a protein registered in humans as National Center for Biotechnology Information (NCBI) Reference Sequence: NP_004657.2, and is a polypeptide represented by sequence number 1. Immunochromatography is a method for measuring antigens and antibodies on a test strip.
 イムノクロマトグラフィー法により検体中の抗原を測定する場合、はじめに検体と検出抗体を混合した測定試料を調製する。検体と検出抗体の混合は、pH6.0~8.5程度のバッファー内で行うことができる。バッファーは、Tris-buffer等を挙げることができる。また、バッファーは、終濃度で0.5~2.0%程度のTriton(登録商標)-X、Tween(登録商標)-20等の界面活性剤、終濃度で0.05%~2.0%程度のウシ血清アルブミン(BSA)等を含んでいてもよい。
 検出抗体には、抗原抗体の複合体の存在を可視化するための検出粒子が標識されている。
When measuring an antigen in a sample by immunochromatography, a measurement sample is prepared by mixing the sample with a detection antibody. The sample and the detection antibody can be mixed in a buffer with a pH of about 6.0 to 8.5. Examples of the buffer include Tris-buffer. The buffer may also contain a surfactant such as Triton (registered trademark)-X or Tween (registered trademark)-20 at a final concentration of about 0.5% to 2.0%, or bovine serum albumin (BSA) at a final concentration of about 0.05% to 2.0%.
The detection antibody is labeled with a detection particle for visualizing the presence of the antigen-antibody complex.
 続いて、捕捉抗体が固相化されている検査ストリップの捕捉抗体が固相化されていない部分に測定試料を浸透させる。測定試料に抗原と検出抗体の複合体が存在していれば、捕捉抗体を固相化した部分に抗原と検出抗体の複合体が固定化される。固定化に伴う検出粒子の濃縮に伴って抗原と検出抗体の複合体が可視化される。 Then, the measurement sample is permeated into the portion of the test strip where the capture antibody is not immobilized. If a complex of antigen and detection antibody is present in the measurement sample, the complex of antigen and detection antibody is immobilized in the portion where the capture antibody is immobilized. The complex of antigen and detection antibody becomes visible as the detection particles are concentrated due to immobilization.
 あるいは、あらかじめ検出粒子を標識した検出抗体を塗布するか又は浸透させ、検出抗体が塗布/浸透した部分よりも液体の流れの下流となる部分に捕捉抗体を固相化した検査ストリップを準備する。検体、又は検体とバッファーの混合液を検出抗体が塗布/浸透した部分よりも液体の流れの上流となる部分に浸透させる。検体に抗原が含まれる場合、検査ストリップに浸透していく過程において、検出抗体と接触し、抗原と検出抗体の複合体が形成される。複合体は、検体、又は検体とバッファーの混合液の浸透していく流れにしたがって検査ストリップ上を流れ、固相化した捕捉抗体に固定化される。固定化に伴う検出粒子の濃縮に伴って抗原と検出抗体の複合体が可視化される。 Alternatively, a test strip is prepared by applying or permeating a detection antibody labeled with detection particles in advance, and immobilizing a capture antibody in a portion of the liquid downstream of the portion where the detection antibody was applied/permeated. The specimen, or a mixture of the specimen and buffer, is permeated in a portion of the liquid upstream of the portion where the detection antibody was applied/permeated. If the specimen contains an antigen, it comes into contact with the detection antibody as it permeates the test strip, and a complex between the antigen and the detection antibody is formed. The complex flows over the test strip in accordance with the permeating flow of the specimen, or the mixture of the specimen and buffer, and is immobilized on the immobilized capture antibody. The complex between the antigen and the detection antibody becomes visible as the detection particles become concentrated as the detection particles are immobilized.

 検査ストリップについては、次項で詳細に説明する。 Test strips are explained in more detail in the next section.
 被検者は、腎機能低下や腎障害等の腎疾患を有する者であっても有さない者であってもよい。 Subjects may or may not have renal disease, such as impaired renal function or renal impairment.
 検体として、尿、血液試料(全血、血清、血漿)、腹水等を挙げることができる。尿は自然尿、蓄尿、カテーテル尿、膀胱や腎臓の穿刺尿等であってもよい。 Samples include urine, blood samples (whole blood, serum, plasma), ascites, etc. Urine may be natural urine, pooled urine, catheter urine, urine obtained by bladder or kidney puncture, etc.
 前記測定は、Vanin-1が検体中に存在するかいなかを判定する定性的な測定であってもよい。定性的な測定の場合、検査ストリップ上の検出粒子の濃縮の有無を目視で判定し、検体中のVanin-1の有無を判定することができる。また、イムノクロマトリーダー(C10066-10、浜松ホトニクス)を使って、検出粒子の濃縮の有無を判定してもよい。 The measurement may be a qualitative measurement that determines whether Vanin-1 is present in the sample. In the case of a qualitative measurement, the presence or absence of Vanin-1 in the sample can be determined by visually determining whether or not the detection particles on the test strip are concentrated. Alternatively, the presence or absence of the detection particles may be determined using an immunochromatography reader (C10066-10, Hamamatsu Photonics).
 また、前記測定は、検体中のVanin-1濃度の半定量的な測定であってもよい。半定量的な測定とは、検査ストリップ上の検出粒子の濃縮によって生じる色の濃さに応じて検体中のVanin-1の濃度を「無」、「低度」、「中等度」、「高度」のように判定する方法である。判定は、目視で行ってもよく、リーダーを使用してもよい。 The measurement may also be a semi-quantitative measurement of the Vanin-1 concentration in the sample. A semi-quantitative measurement is a method of determining the Vanin-1 concentration in the sample as "none," "low," "moderate," or "high" depending on the color intensity caused by the concentration of detection particles on the test strip. The determination may be made visually or using a reader.
 また、前記測定は、検体中のVanin-1濃度の定量的な測定であってもよい。定量的な測定とは、検査ストリップ上において検出粒子の濃縮によって生じる色の濃さをリーダー等によって計測し、計測値に基づいて、Vanin-1の濃度を定量化する方法である。定量の場合、例えば、検査ストリップ上で検出抗体を固相化している箇所の色の濃さの計測値(実測値)と検出抗体を固相化していない箇所の色の濃さの計測値(バックグラウンド値)を取得し、実測値からバックグラウンド値を差し引いた値、もしくは実測値をバックグラウンド値で除した値を正規化値として取得する。また、別途Vanin-1の濃度が既知の標準試料を用いて同様に測定し正規化値を得て、標準試料正規化値とVanin-1の濃度との間で回帰式(検量線)を作成する。被検者検体の正規化値を回帰式に当てはめ検体中のVanin-1濃度の測定値とすることができる。 The measurement may be a quantitative measurement of the Vanin-1 concentration in the sample. Quantitative measurement is a method in which the color intensity caused by the concentration of detection particles on the test strip is measured by a reader or the like, and the concentration of Vanin-1 is quantified based on the measured value. In the case of quantification, for example, the measured value of the color intensity at the portion on the test strip where the detection antibody is immobilized (actual value) and the measured value of the color intensity at the portion where the detection antibody is not immobilized (background value) are obtained, and the value obtained by subtracting the background value from the actual value or the value obtained by dividing the actual value by the background value is obtained as a normalized value. In addition, a standard sample with a known concentration of Vanin-1 is similarly measured to obtain a normalized value, and a regression equation (calibration curve) is created between the standard sample normalized value and the concentration of Vanin-1. The normalized value of the subject sample can be applied to the regression equation to obtain the measured value of the Vanin-1 concentration in the sample.
 また、尿中のVanin-1濃度の測定値は、血中クレアチニン濃度や、クレアチニンクリアランス値等で補正を行ってもよいが、行わなくてもよい。尿が必要以上に薄くないかを確認するため、尿の浸透圧等を同時に測定してもよい。尿浸透圧は、試験紙法、氷点降下法等で測定が可能である。これらの試験により、尿浸透圧が基準範囲外の時には、尿浸透圧に基づいてVanin-1濃度の測定値を補正し、尿浸透圧が基準範囲内の時には、Vanin-1濃度の測定値を補正しないとしてもよい。 The measured value of the Vanin-1 concentration in urine may be corrected by the blood creatinine concentration or the creatinine clearance value, etc., but this is not necessary. To check that the urine is not unnecessarily dilute, the osmolality of the urine may be measured at the same time. Urine osmolality can be measured by the test strip method, the freezing point depression method, etc. If these tests show that the urine osmolality is outside the standard range, the measured value of the Vanin-1 concentration can be corrected based on the urine osmolality, and if the urine osmolality is within the standard range, the measured value of the Vanin-1 concentration can be left uncorrected.
 尿を検体とする場合であって、前記検体中のVanin-1濃度の測定値が基準値以上であるとき、尿を採取した被検者が腎疾患を有することを示唆する。 When urine is used as a sample, if the measured concentration of Vanin-1 in the sample is equal to or higher than the reference value, it suggests that the subject from whom the urine was collected has renal disease.
 腎疾患には、腎機能低下又は腎障害等が含まれ得る。特に尿中Vanin-1濃度は、推定糸球体濾過率(eGFR)が変動するよりも早く増加する傾向があるため、推定糸球体濾過率(eGFR)が正常な被検者であっても、尿中Vanin-1濃度を測定することによって、より早く腎疾患を検出可能となる。 Kidney diseases can include decreased renal function or renal impairment. In particular, urinary Vanin-1 concentration tends to increase faster than estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) changes, so even in subjects with normal estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR), measuring urinary Vanin-1 concentration can detect kidney disease earlier.
 Vanin-1の基準値は、腎疾患を有する被検者と有さない被検者を判別するための値であり、例えば、腎疾患を有する被検者と有さない被検者の検体中のVanin-1の測定値から得られるROC(Receiver Operatorating Characteristic curve、受信者動作特性曲線)曲線解析によって求められる感度、特異度、陽性的中率、陰性的中率などの指標に基づいて適宜設定することができる。また、基準値は、腎疾患を有さない被検者のVanin-1の測定値の平均値、中央値、最大値、第3四分位等としてもよい。基準値は、腎疾患を有する被検者のVanin-1の測定値の最小値、第1四分位としてもよい。 The reference value of Vanin-1 is a value for distinguishing between subjects with and without renal disease, and can be set appropriately based on indices such as sensitivity, specificity, positive predictive value, and negative predictive value obtained by ROC (Receiver Operating Characteristic curve) curve analysis obtained from the measured values of Vanin-1 in samples from subjects with and without renal disease. The reference value may also be the mean, median, maximum, third quartile, etc. of the measured values of Vanin-1 in subjects without renal disease. The reference value may also be the minimum or first quartile of the measured values of Vanin-1 in subjects with renal disease.
2.検査器具
(1)第1の実施形態
 図1(A)を用いて、検体中のVanin-1タンパク質をイムノクロマトグラフィーにより測定するための検査器具1について説明する。この実施形態は、あらかじめ検体と検出抗体を含む測定試料を調製し、測定試料を検査ストリップ11にアプライする形態である。 本項で使用する用語であって、上記1.において使用されている用語は、上記1.の説明をここに援用する。
 検査器具1は、検査ストリップ11を備える。
 検査ストリップ11は、少なくとも第1の部分13と第2の部分14を備える。
 第1の部分13は、検体と検出粒子を標識した検出抗体を含む測定試料を浸透させる部分である。第2の部分14は捕捉抗体を固相化する部分である。第1の部分13と第2の部分14は重ならない。また、第1の部分13と第2の部分14は0.5 cm~2 cm程度離れていることが好ましい。
2. Test Instrument (1) First Embodiment A test instrument 1 for measuring Vanin-1 protein in a specimen by immunochromatography will be described with reference to Fig. 1 (A). In this embodiment, a measurement sample containing a specimen and a detection antibody is prepared in advance, and the measurement sample is applied to a test strip 11. The terms used in this section and in 1. above are incorporated herein by reference.
The test device 1 includes a test strip 11 .
Test strip 11 comprises at least a first portion 13 and a second portion 14 .
The first portion 13 is a portion through which a measurement sample containing a specimen and a detection antibody that labels a detection particle is permeated. The second portion 14 is a portion through which a capture antibody is immobilized. The first portion 13 and the second portion 14 do not overlap. In addition, it is preferable that the first portion 13 and the second portion 14 are separated by about 0.5 cm to 2 cm.
 検査ストリップ11は、ニトロセルロース、セルロース混合エステル、酢酸セルロース、硝酸セルロース、ガラス繊維、ナイロン、ポリエステル、ポリエチレン、ポリ塩化ビニル、ポリフッ化ビニリデン等の膜性素材から構成される。 The test strip 11 is made of a membrane material such as nitrocellulose, mixed cellulose esters, cellulose acetate, cellulose nitrate, glass fiber, nylon, polyester, polyethylene, polyvinyl chloride, or polyvinylidene fluoride.
 第1の部分13に浸透した測定試料は、図1(A)に示す矢印の方向に向かって膜性素材に浸透し流れを作る。測定試料中にVanin-1と検出抗体の複合体が存在する場合、第2の部分14に固相化された捕捉抗体とさらなる複合体を形成し、第2の部分14にVanin-1と検出抗体の複合体が固定化される。固定化に伴う検出粒子の濃縮に伴って抗原と検出抗体の複合体が可視化される。 The measurement sample that has permeated the first portion 13 permeates the membranous material in the direction of the arrow shown in Figure 1 (A) and creates a flow. If a complex between Vanin-1 and the detection antibody is present in the measurement sample, a further complex is formed with the capture antibody immobilized in the second portion 14, and the complex between Vanin-1 and the detection antibody is immobilized in the second portion 14. As the detection particles are concentrated due to immobilization, the complex between the antigen and the detection antibody becomes visible.
 任意ではあるが、図1(A)に示すように、検査ストリップ11は、検査が正しく行われていることを示す、陽性コントロール抗体を固相化した部分16を備えていてもよい。陽性コントロール抗体は、検出抗体を構成する抗体を捕捉することができる、抗イムノグロブリン抗体等である。例えば、検出抗体を構成する抗体がウサギで作製されたものである場合、陽性コントロール抗体は、抗ウサギイムノグロブリン抗体、抗ウサギIgG抗体となる。陽性コントロール抗体を固相化した部分16は、第1の部分13と第2の部分14とは重ならない。 Optionally, as shown in FIG. 1(A), the test strip 11 may have a portion 16 on which a positive control antibody is immobilized, which indicates that the test is being performed correctly. The positive control antibody is an anti-immunoglobulin antibody or the like that can capture the antibody that constitutes the detection antibody. For example, if the antibody that constitutes the detection antibody is produced in a rabbit, the positive control antibody will be an anti-rabbit immunoglobulin antibody or an anti-rabbit IgG antibody. The portion 16 on which the positive control antibody is immobilized does not overlap with the first portion 13 and the second portion 14.
 このような陽性コントロール抗体を固相化した部分16を設けることにより、Vanin-1と検出抗体の複合体が存在せず第2の部分14に検出粒子の濃縮が認められなかったとしても、陽性コントロール抗体固相化部分16に検出粒子の濃縮が認められれば、少なくとも検出抗体は第2の部分14を通過しており、検査自体は成立していたと判定することができる。すなわち、第2の部分14に検出粒子の濃縮が認められず、陽性コントロール抗体を固相化した部分16に検出粒子の濃縮が認められれば、測定試料に含まれるVanin-1は検出限界以下であった、もしくはVanin-1は存在していなかったと判定することができる。
 また、任意ではあるが、検査器具1は、検査ストリップ11を担持するケース12を備えていてもよい。
By providing such a portion 16 on which the positive control antibody is immobilized, even if no complex between Vanin-1 and the detection antibody is present and no concentration of detection particles is observed in the second portion 14, if concentration of detection particles is observed in the positive control antibody immobilized portion 16, it can be determined that at least the detection antibody has passed through the second portion 14 and the test itself has been established. In other words, if no concentration of detection particles is observed in the second portion 14 but concentration of detection particles is observed in the portion 16 on which the positive control antibody is immobilized, it can be determined that Vanin-1 contained in the measurement sample was below the detection limit or that Vanin-1 was not present.
Optionally, test device 1 may also include a case 12 for carrying test strip 11 .
(2)第2の実施形態
 図1(B)を用いて、検体中のVanin-1タンパク質をイムノクロマトグラフィーにより測定するための検査器具2について説明する。この実施形態は、検査ストリップ21に検出抗体が塗布、又は浸透されている。
 本項で使用する用語であって、上記1.において使用されている用語は、上記1.の説明をここに援用する。
 検査器具2は、検査ストリップ21を備える。
 検査ストリップ21は、少なくとも第1の部分23と第2の部分24を備える。第1の部分23と第2の部分24は重ならない。
 第1の部分23には、尿、又は尿の希釈液を浸透させる。
 第2の部分24は、検査器具1における第2の部分14に対応する。
(2) Second embodiment A test device 2 for measuring Vanin-1 protein in a sample by immunochromatography will be described with reference to Fig. 1 (B) . In this embodiment, a detection antibody is applied to or impregnated into a test strip 21.
The terms used in this section and in the above 1. are defined by reference in their explanation in the above 1.
The test device 2 includes a test strip 21 .
Test strip 21 comprises at least a first portion 23 and a second portion 24. First portion 23 and second portion 24 do not overlap.
The first portion 23 is permeated with urine or a diluted solution of urine.
The second portion 24 corresponds to the second portion 14 of the testing device 1 .
 また、任意の部分である陽性コントロール抗体を固相化した部分26及びケース22は、それぞれ、検査器具1における陽性コントロール抗体を固相化した部分16及びケース12に対応する。 Furthermore, the optional parts 26 where the positive control antibody is immobilized and the case 22 correspond to the optional parts 16 where the positive control antibody is immobilized and the case 12 in the test device 1, respectively.
 検査器具2における第3の部分25には、検出抗体が塗布または浸透されている。ここで、検出抗体は液体の流れにしたがって移動しなければならないため、捕捉抗体や陽性コントロール抗体のように固相化はされていない。 The third portion 25 of the test device 2 is coated or impregnated with a detection antibody. Since the detection antibody must move with the flow of the liquid, it is not immobilized like the capture antibody or positive control antibody.
 第1の部分23に尿、又は尿の希釈液を浸透させると、これらは検査ストリップ23に浸透し、はじめに検出抗体と接触する。尿中にVanin-1が存在していれば、第3の部分25に存在している検出抗体と反応し、第2の部分24に固相化された捕捉抗体に捕捉され、固定化される。 When urine or a diluted urine solution is permeated into the first portion 23, it permeates the test strip 23 and first comes into contact with the detection antibody. If Vanin-1 is present in the urine, it reacts with the detection antibody present in the third portion 25, and is captured by the capture antibody solid-phased in the second portion 24 and immobilized.
 以下に実施例を示して本発明についてより詳細に説明する。しかし、本発明は、実施例に限定して解釈されるものではない。 The present invention will be explained in more detail below with reference to examples. However, the present invention should not be interpreted as being limited to these examples.
