Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The present invention belongs to the field of biotechnology, and particularly relates to a homogeneous enzyme immunoassay system based on click chemistry coupling technology, a preparation method thereof, and an application thereof. Background Art
[0002] In 1972, Ruben stein and Ullman developed a homogeneous enzyme immunoassay (HEIA). The classic homogeneous enzyme immunoassay is a detection technology that combines biochemistry and immunology, mainly used to detect trace small molecule substances in biological samples, such as small molecule drugs, drugs, endogenous small molecule substances (hormones, metabolites, organic acids), etc. The basic principle of this technology is: the hapten is combined with an enzyme to form an enzyme-labeled hapten, and the activities of both the hapten and the enzyme are retained. When the enzyme-labeled hapten binds to an antibody, the labeled enzyme is in close contact with the antibody, causing the active center of the enzyme to be affected and its activity to be inhibited. When the antibody, enzyme-labeled hapten in the reagent and the specimen are mixed, the hapten in the sample competes with the enzyme-labeled hapten for binding to the antibody in the reagent. If the content of the hapten in the sample is high, the proportion of the enzyme-labeled hapten bound to the antibody decreases, and the amount of free enzyme-labeled hapten with enzyme activity increases. Therefore, after the reaction, the enzyme activity is in a certain proportional relationship with the hapten in the sample, and the content of the hapten in the sample can be deduced based on the measurement result of the enzyme activity. The whole process of homogeneous enzyme immunoassay is a competitive reaction, and the whole reaction occurs in a liquid homogeneous system. There is no need to separate the bound and free markers through solid phase. The free small molecule antigen in the reaction system can competitively bind to the specific site of the antibody with the "small molecule-enzyme" conjugate. The more free small molecule antigen in the sample, the more antibodies that competitively bind, and the more "small molecule-enzyme" conjugates released by the antibodies. The stronger the signal obtained from the reaction of the "small molecule-enzyme" conjugate with the substrate. By automatically detecting the change in the OD340nm absorbance value with an automatic biochemical analyzer, the content of the sample can be accurately calculated. Since this technology was introduced, after more than 50 years of application and development, it has currently been widely used in many fields such as therapeutic drug monitoring, disease diagnosis, hormone detection, drug testing, food safety, etc.
[0003] The preparation technology of small molecule hapten and macromolecule protein conjugates (including: preparation of small molecule-protein carrier conjugates, preparation of small molecule-labeled enzyme conjugates) is the key technology for the preparation of homogeneous enzyme immunoassay reagents. The synthesis of small molecule hapten and protein conjugates requires retaining the specific sites of small molecules, conjugating small molecules to protein molecules, and at the same time ensuring the biological activity of the conjugated protein. For example, during the conjugation process of "small molecule-labeled enzyme", anhydrous and low temperature conditions must be strictly maintained, and the dosage of the activator also needs to be repeatedly measured to ensure the balance between the biological activity of the conjugate and the number of small molecule linkages. Traditional conjugation methods mainly involve activating small molecule haptens with activators and performing cross-linking reactions with macromolecular protein solutions. This process requires strict control of multiple aspects such as reaction time, temperature, and activator dosage. The desired conjugate can only be obtained after dialysis purification of the reaction products. Since the cross-linking groups provided by commonly used protein molecules are similar, the choice of linking method and the design of conjugate products mainly depend on the functional group structure of small molecule compounds or their derivatives. Small molecule compounds generally with free carboxyl groups or free amino groups, or those with both groups, can be directly conjugated to protein molecules through certain methods; other small molecule compounds without free carboxyl groups or free amino groups need to be appropriately structurally modified to transform them into derivatives with free carboxyl groups or free amino groups before they can be linked to protein molecules. Traditional bioconjugation techniques have many defects such as harsh reaction conditions, complex operations, low yields, high reagent toxicity, low activity of conjugate products, many by-products, and difficult separation and purification.
[0004] Click chemistry, also known as "click chemistry", "link chemistry", "rapid conjugation combinatorial chemistry", was created and proposed by American chemist Sharpless in 2001. It refers to a class of modular, highly selective coupling reactions with simple reaction raw materials, mild reaction conditions, high product yields, and convenient separation and purification, to achieve the efficient and rapid synthesis of functional molecules, and synthesize various biological macromolecules by forming carbon-heteroatom (C-X-C) bonds between various monomer molecule modules. In traditional organic synthetic chemistry, in order to pursue yields and efficiency, the construction of molecular skeletons usually needs to be carried out in organic solvents and under conditions such as heating, acids or bases, and inert gas protection. Many organic reactions also require pre-protection of reactive groups, resulting in a complex and cumbersome synthesis process. In 2002, Sharpless and Meldal independently reported the copper(I)-catalyzed azide-alkyne cycloaddition (CuAAC) reaction. This reaction has been rapidly and widely applied in the synthesis fields of high molecular polymers, drugs, new materials, etc., and has become the representative reaction of click chemistry. The two of them also won the Nobel Prize in Chemistry in 2022 for this.
[0005] Rapamycin, also known as Sirolimus, is derived from Streptomyces hygroscopicus on Easter Island and is a triene macrolide antibiotic immunosuppressant. The effective blood drug concentration range of rapamycin is relatively narrow, and its efficacy and toxic side effects are significantly correlated with the blood drug concentration. Insufficient dosage will lead to the body's rejection of transplanted organs, while excessive dosage will cause serious side effects, including kidney toxicity, liver toxicity and a series of other complications. Due to factors such as the patient's disease state, type of organ transplantation, age, and dosage of medication, there are significant individual differences in drug absorption and metabolism, and it is difficult to directly estimate the blood drug concentration after administration. Therefore, it is of great clinical significance to detect the individual rapamycin blood drug concentration of patients in a timely manner to adjust the dosage or frequency of medication and formulate an individualized treatment plan. The existing methods for detecting rapamycin mainly include high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC), liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry (LC / MS / MS), radioimmunoassay and fluorescence polarization method. The pre-treatment of HPLC and LC / MS / MS methods is complex, time-consuming, and requires high requirements for operators; radioimmunoassay is radioactive to operators; the instruments and reagents of fluorescence polarization method mainly rely on imports and the cost is relatively high. In this application, taking the small molecule drug rapamycin as an example, a homogeneous enzyme immunoassay reagent for rapamycin based on click chemistry coupling technology and its preparation and use methods are disclosed.
[0006] The homogeneous enzyme immunoassay system based on click chemistry coupling technology in this application utilizes the specific coupling reaction between the azide functional group and the alkyne functional group in click chemistry. This coupling reaction does not require the use of special activators and can occur under very mild conditions. Moreover, there are no compounds containing these two special structures of azide and alkyne in the human body. Therefore, the use of this click chemistry coupling technology can significantly improve the specificity of the coupling structure between small molecule hapten and macromolecule protein, and thus also significantly improve the specificity of small molecule specific antibodies. Compared with the homogeneous enzyme immunoassay platform based on traditional coupling technology, the homogeneous enzyme immunoassay system based on click chemistry coupling technology provided by the present invention has the advantages of simple preparation, rapid reaction, safe and pollution-free, low cost, and superior reagent performance, which is conducive to large-scale production and application.

[0125] Example 8. Performance verification of rapamycin detection kit product
[0126] The rapamycin detection kit product prepared in Example 7 was subjected to performance verification. The main performance indicators detected were precision, recovery rate, inter-day precision, linear range, analytical sensitivity, specificity, etc. The performance indicators were based on the relevant requirements of GB / T 26124-2011 "In Vitro Diagnostic Reagents (Kits) for Clinical Chemistry" and "National Health Industry Standard of the People's Republic of China: Linear Evaluation of Quantitative Determination Methods", and with reference to the relevant CLSI standards. The methods and results of reagent performance verification are as follows:
[0127] (1) Preparation of rapamycin homogeneous enzyme immunoassay standard curve: First, set the reaction parameters of Hitachi 7180 automatic biochemical analyzer (Table 1), then add rapamycin R1 reagent to the automatic biochemical analyzer, and then add rapamycin calibrator, mix well, incubate at 37°C for 5 minutes, finally add rapamycin R2 reagent, mix well, after incubating at 37°C for 1.5 minutes, read the absorbance A1 at a wavelength of 340 nm, and read the absorbance A2 after incubating at a constant temperature for 3.5 minutes, calculate △A = A2 - A1, and the automatic biochemical analyzer automatically calculates the reaction rate at different calibrator concentrations (Table 2) to obtain the reaction standard curve, as shown in the appendix Figure 1 as shown.
[0128] Table 1. Reaction parameters of Hitachi 7180 automatic biochemical analyzer
[0129]
[0130] Table 2. Calibration absorbance change values (reaction rates) of calibration products at different concentrations
[0131]
[0132] (2) Precision and recovery verification: Using the standard curve of rapamycin homogeneous enzyme immunoassay prepared in the above step (1), the Hitachi 7180 automatic biochemical analyzer was used to repeatedly measure the blank, low-value, medium-value, and high-value quality control products 10 times, and the test data are shown in Table 3.
[0133] Table 3. Experimental results of precision and recovery verification
[0134]
[0135]
[0136] The results show that: the coefficient of variation (CV) of the rapamycin content in different concentration quality control products measured by the rapamycin detection kit product prepared in the present invention is lower than 5.0%, and the recovery rates are all between 95% and 105%, meeting the requirements of clinical test standards. It shows that the homogeneous enzyme immunoassay system based on click chemistry coupling technology of the present invention has high precision in detecting the content of small molecule haptens in biological samples and accurate results.
[0137] (3) Inter-day precision verification: The instrument should be calibrated before performing the precision verification experiment. Use the quality control product for routine quality control to ensure that it is in control before performing the inter-day precision experiment. If the in-house quality control is out of control or other operation problems occur, the data of this batch must be discarded and another batch of measurements must be added. If multiple test items are detected on the same analysis system, the inter-day precision verification experiment should be carried out for each test item separately. Record the experimental data for statistical analysis, and the qualified standard is that the coefficient of variation (CV) does not exceed 5.0%. The test results are shown in Table 4.
[0138] Table 4. Experimental results of inter-day precision verification
[0139]
[0140]
[0141] The experimental results show that: the coefficients of variation (CV) of the inter-day precision verification of the low-value quality control product, medium-value quality control product, and high-value quality control product detected by the rapamycin detection kit product prepared in the present invention are all lower than 5.0%, meeting the requirements of clinical test standards.
[0142] (4) Linear range verification: Take high-value and low-value quality control products of rapamycin, mix them in proportion to form 10 different concentrations, measure each concentration 3 times, and conduct statistical analysis on the results. Gradually reduce the data points based on the experimental results until a linear relationship is shown, and the widest linear range can be obtained. All quality control products should be randomly measured in one run or several runs with very short intervals, and all detections should be completed within one day.
[0143] The experimental results show that: For the rapamycin detection kit product prepared by the present invention, the correlation coefficient r = 0.9997 in the range of 0.00 - 40.00 ng / mL, and r ≥ 0.990, indicating good linear correlation within this range. In the linear range of 0.00 - 10.00 ng / mL, the absolute deviation is within ±1.00 ng / mL, and in the linear range of 10.00 - 40.00 ng / mL, the relative deviation is within ±5.0%, meeting the requirements of clinical test standards.
[0144] (5) Analytical sensitivity verification: Use purified water as the test sample, measure the change value of the reagent blank absorbance (A2 - A1), and at the same time measure the change value of the absorbance of a calibrated sample with a rapamycin concentration of 3.00 ng / mL. Calculate the absolute value of the difference between the change value of the absorbance of the calibrated sample and the change value of the reagent blank absorbance, and convert it to the analytical sensitivity value (|ΔA|) of the 3.00 ng / mL rapamycin calibrated sample (Table 5).
[0145] Table 5. Analytical sensitivity verification data
[0146]
[0147] Standard requirements for performance indicators: When measuring a rapamycin calibrated sample with a concentration of 3.00 ng / mL, the allowable range of the analytical sensitivity value (|ΔA|) is 0.0100 - 0.3000. It can be seen from the experimental results that the analytical sensitivity of the rapamycin detection kit product prepared by the present invention meets the requirements of clinical test standards.
[0148] (6) Verification of cross-reaction (specificity) of common drugs: Select 100 common drugs for cross-reaction verification. Prepare solutions with a concentration of 50.0 ng / mL of the pure powders of 100 common drugs as the test drug samples respectively, and use the rapamycin homogeneous enzyme immunoassay standard curve prepared in the above step (1). Detect the concentration of each test drug sample with a Hitachi 7180 automatic biochemical analyzer. The names of 100 common drugs and the detection results are shown in Table 6.
[0149] Table 6. Detection results of cross-reaction of 100 common drugs
[0150]
[0151]
[0152]
[0153] The test results show that the actual test values of the above 100 common drugs are all 0.00 ng / mL. Thus, it can be seen that the rapamycin test kit product prepared by the present invention has strong specificity, has no cross-reaction with 100 common drugs, and can specifically detect the content of rapamycin in biological samples.
