Problems solved by technology

Molecular biology is based on the principle of nucleic acid amplification to detect MTB-specific nucleic acids. Although the specificity has been improved, the sensitivity varies greatly, and "false positives" are prone to occur.
At the end of 2010, WHO recommended Xpert MTB / RIF (Cepheid) technology as a new rapid nucleic acid amplification detection method for MTB. Its advantage is that the detection of sputum samples is simple and the detection time is shortened to 2 hours, but it is difficult to distinguish active TB from latent TB.
Using single, recombinant or fusion antigens to detect serum antibodies has a sensitivity of 1% to 60% and a specificity of 53% to 99%, failing to distinguish between active and latent infection

preparation example Construction

[0077] The preparation method of the antigen of the present invention has the following steps:

[0078] (1). Transform or transduce a suitable host cell with a polynucleotide encoding the positive antigen of the present invention (or its variant), or with a recombinant expression vector containing the polynucleotide;

[0079] (2). Host cells cultured in a suitable medium;

[0080] (3). Isolate and purify the antigen of the present invention from culture medium or cells.

[0081] In the present invention, polynucleotide sequences can be inserted into recombinant expression vectors. Methods well known to those skilled in the art can be used to construct expression vectors containing the antigen-encoding DNA sequence and appropriate transcriptional / translational control signals. A vector comprising the above-mentioned appropriate DNA sequence and an appropriate promoter or control sequence can be used to transform an appropriate host cell so that it can express the protein.

Abstract

This invention relates to high throughput screening of tubercle bacillus important antigens, and an application of the tubercle bacillus important antigens in tuberculosis diagnosis. According to the present invention, specifically 46 positive antigens capable of being recognized by tuberculosis patient serum are screened with a GST fusion protein based high throughput function protein screening technology, wherein the 5 antigens present strong positive reactions, and serology detection results show that detection of tubercle bacillus by using the positive antigens has high sensitivity and specificity. The present invention further provides a corresponding tuberculosis diagnosis and monitoring method and a kit.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention belongs to the field of biotechnology, in particular, the invention relates to the high-throughput screening of important antigens of Mycobacterium tuberculosis and its application in the diagnosis of tuberculosis. Background technique [0002] Tuberculosis (Tuberculosis, TB) is the most deadly disease caused by a single pathogen in the world. According to WHO estimates, about 2 billion people in the world are infected with Mycobacterium tuberculosis (MTB), and about 2 million people die from tuberculosis every year. China is one of 22 countries with a high burden of TB, accounting for 80% of global TB cases. At present, more than 1 / 3 of the country's population is infected with Mycobacterium tuberculosis, of which 4.5 million are active tuberculosis patients, and about 250,000 people die of tuberculosis every year, ranking first among various infectious diseases. [0003] In recent years, with the prevalence of drug-resistant tuberculo...
