Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The invention belongs to the technical field of immunoassay, and in particular relates to an immunoassay liquid and a reagent kit capable of preventing fluorescence leakage, and applications thereof. Background Art
[0002] Droplet immunoassay is an immunoassay method based on microdroplet technology. This method uses microfluidics technology to generate droplets with nanoliter to picoliter volumes, and an independent immune reaction is performed in each droplet. Droplet immunoassay has broad application prospects in clinical diagnosis, food safety, environmental monitoring and other fields. In droplet immunoassays based on galactosidase conjugates as reagent components, the most commonly used fluorescent substrates are fluorescein di-β-D-galactoside (FDG) and resorufin-β-D-galactoside (RGP). Under the catalysis of galactosidase, the fluorescent product of FDG is fluorescein, which is highly hydrophilic and stable in the "oil-in-water" structure formed by the microfluidic chip, without obvious leakage of fluorescein. However, FDG exhibits a slow reaction in the galactosidase-catalyzed reaction, and has obvious disadvantages in the development of instrument reagents that pursue detection speed. Under the catalysis of galactosidase, the fluorescent product of RGP is resorufin, which has both certain hydrophilicity and hydrophobicity. In the "oil-in-water" structure formed by the microfluidic chip, the fluorescent product is prone to leakage, thus affecting the accuracy of the immunoassay results. However, RGP exhibits the characteristics of rapid response in the galactosidase catalytic reaction, which meets the speed measurement requirements of instrument reagents.
[0003] Regarding the leakage of fluorescent products, some research results are given in the literature. The research of Philipp Gurner et al. shows that different fluorescent substances show different leakage rates in the same droplet oil, and the droplet oil containing different concentrations of surfactants also affects the leakage rate. Research in this direction is time-consuming and costly, and according to the author's experimental results, its effect in preventing the leakage of resorufin is very limited. Yin Kun et al. used Pickering emulsification to solve the problem of resorufin leakage. This method has a certain effect, but there are disadvantages such as the complex and time-consuming preparation process of Pickering emulsion, and the unstable finished product, which is difficult to use in commercialization. The research of Yousr Skhiri et al. shows that adding bovine serum albumin (BSA) to the buffer solution can control the leakage of resorufin to a certain extent. In the author's experiment, it was found that this method has a certain effect, but the droplets generated after using the buffer containing BSA have a phenomenon of fusion and enlargement, which has an adverse effect on the analysis of experimental data.
[0004] Therefore, there is an urgent need for a reagent that can effectively control fluorescence leakage and is suitable for commercialization to solve the problem of fluorescence leakage in droplet immunoassay. Summary of the invention

The rest of the process is exactly the same. The test results are as follows Figure 3 and Figure 4 .
[0046] Comparative Example 2 The difference between this comparative example and Example 1 is that the immune detection solution is replaced by the detection solution 2, which includes: 10mM PBS solution, 5% (W / V) BSA, 0.05% Tween 20, 0.1% (W / V) Proclin 950, and the pH of the PBS solution is 7.4. The rest of the process is exactly the same. The test results are as follows Figure 5 and Figure 6 .
[0047] Comparative Example 3 The difference between this comparative example and Example 1 is that 1% (W / V) PVP K30 is used instead of 1% (W / V) cyclodextrin. The rest of the processes are exactly the same.
[0048] Comparative Example 4 The difference between this comparative example and Example 1 is that 1% (W / V) PEG6000 is used instead of 1% (W / V) cyclodextrin. The rest of the processes are exactly the same.
[0049] Comparative Example 5 The difference between this comparative example and Example 1 is that 1% (W / V) urea is used instead of 1% (W / V) cyclodextrin. The rest of the processes are exactly the same.
[0050] Comparative Example 6 The difference between this comparative example and Example 1 is that 1% (W / V) DMSO is used instead of 1% (W / V) cyclodextrin. The rest of the processes are exactly the same.
[0051] Result analysis: From Figure 1 to Figure 6 As shown, in the detection solution 1 of Comparative Example 1 ( Figure 3 and Figure 4 ), the fluorescent product resorufin leaked out obviously (the positive droplets and the adjacent droplets formed a "flower" shape); in the detection solution 2 of comparative example 2 ( Figure 5 and Figure 6 ), there was no obvious leakage of the fluorescent product, but the droplet size was uneven (further research found that the droplets would fuse during the incubation process); in the immunoassay solution of Example 1, there was no obvious leakage of the fluorescent substance, and the droplet size was uniform (such as Figure 1 and Figure 2). The above experimental results show that the immunoassay solution of the present application has the advantage of solving the fluorescence leakage in droplet immunoassay, and can overcome the droplet fusion caused by the presence of bovine serum albumin in the solution.
[0052] Table 2 Leakage rate of different ratios of test solution at antigen dilution concentrations of 30 pg / mL and 0.37 pg / mL From the positive rate and / or leakage rate data of Examples 1 to 14 and Comparative Examples 1 to 6 statistically shown in Table 2, the addition of cyclodextrin or its derivatives significantly controls the fluorescence leakage rate of the 30pg / mL antigen system, which can be reduced from the original 89.42% to less than 40.78%. The anti-fluorescence leakage rate of Examples 1, 4 to 13 is controlled below 1%, and there is almost no fluorescence leakage problem. It can be judged that cyclodextrin or its derivatives play a key role in the detection solution, and the detection solution to which cyclodextrin or its derivatives are added can effectively control the leakage of the fluorescent product (resorufin). According to the positive rate and leakage rate data of Example 2 and Example 1, even when the concentration of hydroxypropyl β-cyclodextrin is 0.1%, the leakage rate is better than that of Example 2, from which it can be seen that hydroxypropyl β-cyclodextrin is better than cyclodextrin. As can be seen from Examples 1, 3 to 4, with the increase in the concentration of hydroxypropyl β-cyclodextrin, the 30pg / mL leakage rate is significantly reduced, but when the concentration of hydroxypropyl-β-cyclodextrin reaches 10%, the 0.37pg / mL positive rate is significantly suppressed. Considering comprehensively, the concentration of hydroxypropyl β-cyclodextrin is 1%, which is the optimal concentration. According to the changes in the types of buffer solutions of Examples 5, 7 to 9 as shown in Table 2, the changes in pH and the replacement of surfactants have little effect on the changes in leakage rate and positive rate. As can be seen from Examples 1, 5, 6 and 12 as shown in Table 2, the addition of magnesium chloride or magnesium sulfate has increased the positive rate of the 0.37pg / mL antigen system to a certain extent and the effect is comparable, but there is no obvious effect on the leakage rate. Analysis believes that it may be caused by the promotion of magnesium ions in the activity of galactosidase. Considering comprehensively according to the results of Examples 2 to 13, it is determined that the immunoassay solution for preventing fluorescence leakage is best selected from Example 5.
[0053] Embodiment 15 According to Example 5, a test solution was re-formulated for use in a human IL-6 antigen detection kit to determine the effect of the formula in actual use. The sample preparation refers to the step of obtaining the immune complex magnetic beads in Example 1, and the specific antigen concentration is set to 30pg / mL, 10pg / mL, 3.333pg / mL, 1.111pg / mL, 0.37pg / mL, 0.123pg / mL, 0.041pg / mL, 0pg / mL. The subsequent steps refer to the other contents of Example 1.

Figure 4 From the plotted standard curve, each concentration point has good discrimination and the sensitivity can reach fg / mL level, which indicates that this group of immunoassay solutions can meet product requirements.
