Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of test chip preparation, and in particular to a method for preparing an immunohistochemical antibody quality test chip. Background Art

[0002] With the advent of personalized diagnosis and treatment and the rapid development of precision medicine, immunohistochemistry has become an indispensable diagnostic aid for pathologists. Furthermore, with the increasing automation of the immunohistochemical staining process, the role of immunohistochemistry in pathological diagnosis is becoming increasingly widespread. Today, immunohistochemistry technology is not only used to determine the origin, classification, and differential diagnosis of tumors, but is also widely used to detect relevant indicators to determine prognosis and guide personalized clinical treatment. Therefore, its accuracy and reliability are crucial. While immunohistochemistry has been used in clinical pathology for over 40 years, standardization of quality control still requires further improvement. Numerous factors can affect the immunohistochemical staining process to varying degrees. Over 70% of the accuracy and reliability of immunohistochemistry is determined by the quality of antibody reagents. Therefore, quality control by antibody manufacturers is a crucial factor in ensuring the accuracy and reliability of immunohistochemical results. Currently, the quality of antibodies produced by domestic immunohistochemical manufacturers varies greatly. To improve the reliability of staining results and ensure the effectiveness of immunohistochemical staining antibodies and related reagents, we have developed this tissue microarray to validate antibodies.

[0003] Currently, immunohistochemistry antibody manufacturers face the following problems in antibody quality control: low standardization and high uncertainty in immunohistochemistry; a lot of effort is required to prepare the positive control tissues required for management control; quality control tissues required for some targets are difficult to obtain; tissue differences add more uncontrollable processes to the quality control process; ethical issues make the quality control system difficult to translate. Currently, immunohistochemistry antibody manufacturers conduct quality inspections on the antibodies they produce by verifying them on a single tissue section. The advantage of this verification method is that the specimen area used for testing is large, and the positive area is generally large. However, high-quality pathological diagnostic antibodies require verification with multiple tissue specimens, and negative controls must be set up. A single tissue section cannot meet the screening requirements for high-specificity and high-affinity antibodies, so improvements are needed. Summary of the Invention

DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0046] The technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below in conjunction with the drawings in the embodiments of the present invention. Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the present invention, rather than all the embodiments.

[0047] Reference Figure 1-2 A method for preparing an immunohistochemical antibody quality test chip comprises the following steps:

[0048] S1. Chip microarray design: Select a variety of positive and negative tissue specimens and design 15 spots. Design a 5×3 spot tissue array, with 3 spots on the same side of the 15 spots forming a group. Five groups of spots use tonsils, liver, appendix, kidney, and pancreas as templates. This can effectively expand the sample range and enable testing on multiple tissue sections, effectively meeting the screening requirements for highly specific and high-affinity antibodies.

[0049] S2. Collect relevant wax blocks: Select the required tissue wax blocks and mark representative points in the paraffin specimen according to the HE section;

[0050] S3. Preparation of TMA receptor wax blocks: Mix 97.5 g of paraffin wax and 2.5 g of beeswax to create a blank wax block measuring 36 mm long, 26 mm wide, and 17 mm high. Within the 20 mm x 16 mm area of ​​this wax block, design a 5 x 3 point tissue array. Leave 0.5 cm to 0.7 cm of space around the tissue and punch holes using a tissue analyzer to create a TMA wax block.

[0051] S4. Use a fine needle to punch holes in the recipient wax block on a tissue chip production machine. The hole diameter is designed to be 5 mm.

[0052] S5. Punch a hole at the marked location on the donor wax block to collect a tissue core; the hole diameter is also 5 mm.

[0053] S6. Transfer the tissue cores to the wells of the receptor module, with the spacing between each tissue core preferably being 0.5 mm;

[0054] S7. Place the constructed TMA chip wax block in a suitable plastic box and secure it tightly to prevent displacement. Place it in a 55°C incubator for approximately 10 minutes. Before the wax completely dissolves (half-melted), remove it and cool it at room temperature to allow the wax of the receptor module and the newly inserted small cylindrical tissue to dissolve into one. Remove the wax block and store it in a 4°C refrigerator until needed.

[0055] S8. Before slicing, the wax block needs to be pre-cooled at 4℃ for about 4 hours, then clamped on the microtome for correction until all the tissues are complete; stick a -20℃ pre-cooled ice bag on the wax block for about 5-10 minutes, quickly slice about 30-50 slices in succession, and then freeze the tissue block with an ice bag. It can also be done directly in the freezing microtome until all the tissues are cut; float 4μm serial sections in cold water and let them unfold naturally. Transfer the sections to 45℃ warm water in sequence and unfold them for about 2 minutes. Stick them on a slide soaked in APES section adhesive to dry, bake the sections at 60℃ for about 3 minutes, continue baking at 58℃ for 18 hours, and store them at -20℃ for later use.

[0056] Reference Figure 3-5 The plastic box in S7 includes a shell 1, a partition member 2 is fixed in the shell 1, an adjustment mechanism is provided at the lower end of the shell 1, and a first gear member 7 is provided on the adjustment mechanism. The adjustment mechanism includes a mounting frame 15 installed at the bottom of the shell 1, a second spur rack 5 is slidably mounted on one side of the mounting frame 15, and a second gear member 14 is engaged with the second spur rack 5. A vertical shaft member 13 is fixedly sleeved in the second gear member 14, and the lower end of the vertical shaft member 13 is rotatably connected to the bottom center of the shell 1. The upper end of the vertical shaft member 13 is fixed to the lower end of the first gear member 7. The diameter of the first gear member 7 is larger than that of the second gear member 14. Diameter. By changing the diameter, when the first gear member 7 and the second gear member 14 rotate at the same angle, the number of teeth of the first gear member 7 rotates more than that of the second gear member 14, which helps to achieve rapid movement of the first spur rack 4. A screw member 6 is rotatably sleeved on one side of the lower end of the shell 1, and one side of the second spur rack 5 is screwed on the screw member 6. By rotating the screw member 6, the second spur rack 5 can be moved smoothly. When the second spur rack 5 moves smoothly, the second gear member 14 can be rotated smoothly to drive the first gear member 7 to rotate, thereby providing power for the movement of the splint member 8.

[0057] Reference Figure 3-5, four first straight racks 4 are meshed in sequence on the first gear member 7 from top to bottom, and the two adjacent first straight racks 4 are arranged at right angles. The four first straight racks 4 can effectively correspond to the four sides of the rectangular structure, which helps to clamp the rectangular structure by clamping the four sides. The first straight rack 4 is slidably installed at the lower end of the partition member 2, which can ensure the stability of the movement of the first straight rack 4. An adaptation mechanism is provided on the first straight rack 4, and a synchronization rod 10 is provided on the adaptation mechanism. Four openings 3 are equally spaced on the partition member 2. The four synchronization rods 10 are respectively slidably installed in the four openings 3. The upper ends of the four synchronization rods 10 are fixed with a clamping plate 8. The adaptation mechanism includes a fixed plate 12 fixed to one side of the first straight rack 4, and a sliding rod 9 is slidably installed on the fixed plate 12. One end of the sliding rod 9 and the synchronization The rod 10 is fixedly connected, and a spring part 11 is sleeved on the sliding rod 9. The two ends of the spring part 11 are respectively fixed on the fixed plate 12 and the sliding rod 9. Through the action of the spring part 11, the splint part 8 can stop moving after it hits the material. If there is a deviation in other positions, when the splint part 8 hits one side of the material, the other external splint parts 8 have not yet hit the material. At this time, the material can be pushed to move, so that the two splint parts 8 set at a right angle can hit the material. If the other two splint parts 8 have not yet hit the material, the spring parts 11 at the lower ends of the two splint parts 8 that have hit can be stretched so that the other two splint parts 8 move and hit the material, which can effectively ensure the firmness of the clamping. The spring part 11 can be telescopic to adapt to the movement of the first straight rack 4, and can effectively clamp the four sides of the material.

[0058] Reference Figure 6-7 The mixture of 97.5 grams of lycra paraffin wax and 2.5 grams of beeswax in S3 is prepared by a mixing mechanism. The mixing mechanism includes a carrier 18. Both sides of the carrier 18 are rotatably sleeved with rotating shafts 19. A regulating mechanism is installed in the carrier 18. The regulating mechanism is connected to one of the rotating shafts 19. A hopper 30 is fixed between the two rotating shafts 19. The regulating mechanism can adjust one of the rotating shafts 19 to rotate the rod, which can drive the hopper 30 to flip it. When the hopper 30 flips, it is convenient to add materials or discharge the melted wax liquid so that the wax liquid can be formed.

[0059] Reference Figure 6The regulating mechanism includes a hydraulic cylinder 24 fixed to the bottom of the carrier 18. A third spur rack 23 is fixed to the end of the piston rod of the hydraulic cylinder 24. A rotating gear 22 is fixed to one of the rotating shafts 19. The third spur rack 23 and the rotating gear 22 are meshed. The third spur rack 23 is slidably mounted on one end side wall of the carrier 18. During actual preparation, the staff can make the hydraulic cylinder 24 push the third spur rack 23 to move up and down. When the third spur rack 23 moves up and down, it will drive the rotating gear 22 meshed with it to rotate. The rotating gear 22 can drive the rotating shaft 19 fixed to it to rotate. The rotation of the rotating shaft 19 causes the hopper 30 to flip, so that the molten wax liquid inside can be quickly discharged and the wax liquid can be formed. During preparation, a protruding mouth-shaped structure can be provided on the hopper 30 to better facilitate the stable outflow of materials.

[0060] Reference Figure 6 An electric heater 34 is installed on the hopper part 30. The electric heater 34 can increase the temperature inside the hopper part 30, which helps to melt the lycra paraffin and beeswax and mix them better. A power mechanism is provided at the lower end of the hopper part 30. The power mechanism is provided with a lifting rod 17 and a vertical shaft part 29. The vertical shaft part 29 is rotatably sleeved on the hopper part 30. A cross bar 16 is fixed to the upper end of the lifting rod 17. One end of the cross bar 16 is rotatably sleeved with a sleeve part 33. The sleeve part 33 is slidably installed on the vertical shaft part 29. A stirring member 32 is installed on the sleeve part 33. A mounting plate is fixed to one side of the lower end of the vertical shaft part 29 Part 27, a scraper part 28 is installed on the mounting plate part 27, and the scraper part 28 conflicts with the inner wall of the hopper part 30. The power mechanism includes a connecting frame 26 installed on one side of the lower end of the hopper part 30, and a motor assembly 25 is installed on one side of the connecting frame 26. The output shaft of the motor assembly 25 and the vertical shaft part 29 are coaxially arranged, and the output shaft of the motor assembly 25 and the lower end of the vertical shaft part 29 are jointly fixed with a U-shaped rod 31. The coaxial arrangement of the output shaft of the motor assembly 25 and the vertical shaft part 29 can fully ensure the stable transmission of power through the U-shaped rod 31, and ensure that the vertical shaft part 29 can keep up with the synchronous rotation of the output shaft of the motor assembly 25.

[0061] During use, a worker can start the motor assembly 25 to rotate it. The rotation of the motor assembly 25 can cause the U-shaped rod 31 to drive the vertical shaft 29 to rotate, and the vertical shaft 29 can drive the mounting plate 27 and the scraper 28 to rotate. The scraper 28 can clean the inner wall of the hopper 30, effectively cleaning the material in the hopper 30, ensuring the cleanliness of the hopper 30 and facilitating the discharge of the material.

[0062] The U-shaped rod 31 is rotatably sleeved with a push rod member 20, and one end of the push rod member 20 is universally connected to an oblique rod member 21. The lower end of the oblique rod member 21 is rotatably connected to the lower end of the lifting rod 17. The lifting rod 17 is slidably installed on one side of the hopper member 30, which can ensure the smooth lifting and lowering of the lifting rod 17. The push rod member 20 can be driven to operate through the action of the U-shaped rod 31. At the same time, the oblique rod member 21 is swung through the corresponding universal connection member, which can effectively provide power for the lifting and lowering of the lifting rod 17. When the lifting rod 17 is lifted or lowered, it can drive the cross rod member 16 to lift the sleeve member 33. At the same time, the sleeve member 33 rotates with the vertical shaft member 29, and the sleeve member 33 will drive the stirring member 32 to rotate, so that the stirring member 32 can stir and mix the Lycra paraffin and beeswax.

[0063] In the present invention, 15 points are designed from a variety of positive and negative tissue specimens; a 5×3 point tissue array is designed. The required tissue wax blocks are selected, and representative points in the paraffin specimens are marked according to HE sections. 97.5 grams of paraffin wax and 2.5 grams of beeswax are mixed to form a blank wax block measuring 36 mm long, 26 mm wide, and 17 mm high. A 5×3 point tissue array is designed within the 20 mm × 16 mm area of ​​this wax block. A 0.5 cm to 0.7 cm space is reserved around the tissue. A tissue analyzer is used to punch holes to create a TMA wax block. A fine needle is used to punch holes in the recipient wax block on a tissue chip making machine, with a designed hole diameter of 5 mm. Similarly, holes are punched at the corresponding locations marked on the donor wax block to collect tissue cores. The hole diameter is also 5 mm. The tissue cores are transferred to the holes of the recipient module, with a spacing of 0.5 mm between each tissue core being preferred. The constructed TMA chip wax block is placed in a suitable plastic box and tightly secured to prevent displacement. Place in a 55°C incubator for about 10 minutes. Before the wax is completely dissolved (half-melted), take it out and cool it at room temperature to allow the wax of the receptor module to dissolve into the newly inserted small cylindrical tissue. Remove the wax block and store it in a 4°C refrigerator for later use. Before slicing, the wax block needs to be pre-cooled at 4°C for about 4 hours, then clamped on the microtome for correction until all the tissue is complete. Apply a -20°C pre-cooled ice pack to the wax block for about 5-10 minutes, quickly slice 30-50 slices continuously, then freeze the tissue block with an ice pack, or directly in the freezing microtome until the tissue is cut. Float 4μm serial sections in cold water and let them unfold naturally. Transfer the sections to 45°C warm water in sequence and spread them for about 2 minutes. Attach them to a slide soaked in APES sectioning adhesive to dry. Bake the sections at 60°C for about 3 minutes, continue baking at 58°C for 18 hours, and store at -20°C for later use.

Use a fine needle to punch holes in the recipient wax block on a tissue chip production machine. The hole diameter is designed to be 5 mm. S5. Punch a hole at the marked location on the donor wax block to collect a tissue core; the hole diameter is also 5 mm. S6. Transfer the tissue cores to the wells of the receptor module, with the spacing between each tissue core preferably being 0.5 mm; S7. Place the constructed TMA chip wax block in a suitable plastic box and secure it tightly to prevent displacement. Place it in a 55°C incubator for 10 minutes. When the wax is semi-melted, remove it and cool it at room temperature to allow the wax of the receptor module and the newly inserted small cylindrical tissue to dissolve into one. Remove the wax block and store it in a 4°C refrigerator until needed. The plastic box comprises a shell (1), a partition member (2) is fixed in the shell (1), an adjustment mechanism is provided at the lower end of the shell (1), a first gear member (7) is provided on the adjustment mechanism, four first straight racks (4) are meshed with the first gear member (7) in sequence from top to bottom, two adjacent first straight racks (4) are arranged at right angles, the first straight racks (4) are slidably mounted on the lower end of the partition member (2), an adaptation mechanism is provided on the first straight rack (4), a synchronization rod member (10) is provided on the adaptation mechanism, four openings (3) are provided on the partition member (2) at equal intervals, four synchronization rod members (10) are respectively slidably mounted in the four openings (3), and a clamping plate member (8) is fixed to the upper end of each of the four synchronization rod members (10); The adjustment mechanism comprises a mounting frame (15) mounted on the bottom of the housing (1), a second spur rack (5) being slidably mounted on one side of the mounting frame (15), a second gear member (14) being meshed with the second spur rack (5), a vertical shaft member (13) being fixedly sleeved inside the second gear member (14), the lower end of the vertical shaft member (13) being rotatably connected to the bottom center of the housing (1), the upper end of the vertical shaft member (13) being fixed to the lower end of the first gear member (7), a screw member (6) being rotatably sleeved on one side of the lower end of the housing (1), and one side of the second spur rack (5) being screwed onto the screw member (6); The adaption mechanism includes a fixed plate (12) fixed to one side of the first straight rack (4), a slide bar (9) is slidably mounted on the fixed plate (12), one end of the slide bar (9) is fixedly connected to the synchronization bar (10), a spring member (11) is sleeved on the slide bar (9), and both ends of the spring member (11) are fixed to the fixed plate (12) and the slide bar (9), respectively; The diameter of the first gear member (7) is greater than the diameter of the second gear member (14); S8. Before sectioning, the wax block needs to be pre-cooled at 4°C for 4 hours, then clamped on the microtome and trimmed until all tissues are intact; Apply a -20°C pre-cooled ice pack to the wax block for 5-10 minutes, quickly slice 30-50 slices in succession, and then freeze the tissue block with an ice pack; float 4μm serial sections in cold water and allow them to unfold naturally. Transfer the sections sequentially to 45°C warm water and unfold them for 2 minutes. Attach them to a slide soaked in APES section adhesive and let them dry. Bake the sections at 60°C for 3 minutes, continue baking at 58°C for 18 hours, and store at -20°C for later use.
