Problems solved by technology

[0003] At present, the research on the epitopes of RF is still not thorough, and it is impossible to make recombinant antigens. The general method is to denature human IgG. There are two methods of denaturation: chemical denaturation and physical denaturation. Chemical denaturation will introduce chemical denaturing agents. Adding purification steps is not conducive to scale-up production; the physical denaturation method is simple, but the stability of the denatured protein is challenged, which brings a lot of troubles to the application side, especially when it is applied to latex turbidimetric products, non-specific agglutination reactions are prone to occur
[0004] At present, the general method of latex-enhanced turbidimetry is to heat-denature IgG first, and then couple to latex, but the denatured IgG itself is unstable, and many hydrophobic groups are exposed during the denaturation process, resulting in IgG self-sustaining during the denaturation process. Coagulation, the denatured polymer is unstable, which brings many problems to the application, such as unstable reagents, easy agglutination of coupled latex, etc.
In addition, direct heating and denaturation can easily lead to aggregation of IgG molecules, so the heating time should not be too long, but if the heating time is not enough, the IgG molecules will not be fully denatured, resulting in not only poor stability of the obtained product, but also low activity

preparation example Construction

[0041] The invention relates to a preparation method of denatured IgG, which comprises denaturing IgG in the presence of a protein protecting agent to obtain denatured IgG.

[0042] The preparation method of denatured IgG provided by the present invention avoids the aggregation of denatured IgG during the denaturation process by adding a protein protective agent during the denaturation process, improves the stability of denatured IgG, makes IgG denature more fully, and exposes more antigenic epitopes , to increase antigenic activity. The method makes the denaturation process stable, and the obtained denatured IgG has good monodispersity, sufficient denaturation, high activity, ensures batch-to-batch difference, and is simple to operate, low in cost and convenient for large-scale production.

[0043] In a preferred embodiment, the protein protecting agent includes disaccharides, such as sucrose, trehalose, maltose, lactose and the like. In the present invention, it is found th...

Embodiment 1

[0063] The influence of embodiment 1 sucrose concentration on denaturation effect

[0064] 1. Prepare sucrose solutions containing 0w / v%, 10w / v%, 20w / v%, 30w / v%, 40w / v%, and 50w / v% respectively with 10mmol / L PBS (PH7.4) buffer solution;

[0065] 2. Dilute the IgG (50mg / ml) to 10mg / ml with the buffer in step 1;

[0066] 3. Heat the solution in step 2 in a constant temperature water bath at 63°C for 60 minutes;

[0067] 4. Put the heated solution in step 3 in an ice-water bath and keep it away from light for 2 hours;

[0068] 5. Observe the solution in step 4 for turbidity, see the results figure 1 , the sucrose concentration from left to right is 0w / v%, 10w / v%, 20w / v%, 30w / v%, 40w / v%, 50w / v%.

[0069] from figure 1 The results show that when the sucrose concentration is less than 30w / v%, agglutination is likely to occur during the denaturation process.

Embodiment 2

[0070] Embodiment 2 Denatured IgG coupling latex

[0071] The turbid solution in Example 1 was used for latex coupling.

[0072] Coupling scheme:

[0073] 1. Take 160 μl of 10% polystyrene carboxyl latex with a particle size of 188nm, and dilute to 2ml with 10mmol / L HEPES (PH7.5) buffer solution;

[0074] 2. Slowly add 50 μl (10 mg / ml) EDC solution and 50 μl (10 mg / ml) NHS solution to step 1, stir and react at room temperature for 20 minutes, then dilute to 10 ml with 10 mmol / L HEPES (PH7.5) buffer solution;

[0075] 3. Take 70 μl of denatured IgG solution without turbidity in Example 1, add urea 200mmol / L (final concentration) and BSA 0.05% (final concentration) to dilute;

[0076] 4. Slowly add the denatured IgG solution diluted in step 3 to step 2, and stir at room temperature for 3 hours;

[0077] 5. Centrifuge at 15000rpm for 40min, resuspend by ultrasonication in 10mmol / L PBS (containing 0.2v / v% Tween 20, 0.1w / v%BSA, 10w / v% sucrose), which is the RF detection reagent ...

Abstract

The invention relates to the technical field of biology, and particularly provides a denatured IgG and rheumatoid factor immune antigen and a preparation method thereof. According to the preparation method of the denatured IgG, the protein protective agent is added in the denaturation process, so that a certain distance is kept between IgG molecules, aggregation is avoided in the denaturation process, IgG denaturation is more sufficient, more antigen epitopes are exposed, and the antigen activity is improved. Based on the method, the denaturation process is stable, and the obtained denatured IgG is good in monodispersity, sufficient in denaturation and high in activity; besides, due to the fact that the agglutination problem of denatured IgG is well solved, the obtained rheumatoid factor immune antigen is better in stability, the activity of the immune antigen is remarkably improved, the batch-to-batch difference becomes small, and the rheumatoid factor immune antigen is suitable for large-scale production.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to the field of biotechnology, in particular to a denatured IgG and rheumatoid factor immune antigen and a preparation method. Background technique [0002] Rheumatoid factor (rheumatoid factor, RF) is a kind of autoantibody with denatured IgG as the target antigen. Studies have shown that the positive rate of rheumatoid factor is only 2% in normal people, 5% in the elderly, and 80% in patients with rheumatoid arthritis (RA). Therefore, RF is of great value as an indicator for the diagnosis of RA. [0003] At present, the research on the epitopes of RF is still not thorough, and it is impossible to make recombinant antigens. The general method is to denature human IgG. There are two methods of denaturation: chemical denaturation and physical denaturation. Chemical denaturation will introduce chemical denaturants. Adding purification steps is not conducive to scale-up production; the physical denaturation method is simple, but th...
