Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The present application belongs to the technical field of biomedical detection, and particularly relates to a combined detection test strip for detecting dengue virus, Zika virus antigen and antibody and a preparation method thereof. BACKGROUND

[0002] Dengue virus belongs to a serotype subgroup of the Flavivirus genus of the Flaviviridae family, and is transmitted by Aedes aegypti and Aedes albopictus, has the characteristics of rapid transmission, high incidence, universal susceptibility of the population, and high mortality of severe types, and is considered to be the most concerned infectious disease in the world; the prevention and control of dengue fever depends on the control of mosquito vectors. At present, there is no specific treatment for dengue fever / severe dengue fever, but early detection and appropriate medical care can greatly reduce the mortality of severe dengue fever.

[0003] Zika virus is a mosquito-borne virus transmitted by infected Aedes mosquitoes (Aedes spp., mainly Aedes aegypti) in tropical and subtropical regions. Most Zika virus diseases show asymptomatic or mild infection, but there is evidence that Zika virus infection can cause neurological complications such as Guillain-Barre syndrome, congenital birth defect syndrome such as microcephaly in children, etc. The occurrence of these diseases may be related to the infection of human neural precursor cells by Zika virus. More seriously, there is a serious cross-reaction between the serum antibodies induced by dengue and Zika viruses, and the persistent infection of different viruses can lead to the occurrence of ADE effect, thereby causing Zika virus infection to trigger the occurrence of severe Zika virus disease in dengue fever epidemic areas; conversely, the epidemic of dengue virus in Zika virus disease epidemic areas can also trigger the occurrence of severe dengue disease, such as dengue hemorrhagic fever (DHF) or dengue shock syndrome (DSS).

[0004] Zika virus and dengue virus belong to the same family of Flaviviridae, and the homology of the E proteins of the two viruses is as high as 54%-59%, which is prone to cross; while the homology of the NS1 proteins is relatively low (about 53%-58% for dengue virus / Zika virus), and the concentration of NS1 is high in the early stage of infection. Traditional antibodies are prone to cross-binding with the NS1 proteins of the two viruses, resulting in false positive results. For example, antibodies against Zika virus NS1 may misrecognize dengue virus NS1.

[0005] In addition, after the body is infected, the NS1 antigen appears first, so simultaneous detection of the NS1 antigen and specific IgM and IgG antibodies can effectively diagnose the immune response state of the body to a specific pathogen, and such an antigen-antibody combined detection kit can be used for rapid early diagnosis and screening of patients with dengue / zika virus infection in the early stage, primary infection, and secondary or multiple infections, shortens the window period, and improves the detection rate.

[0006] Serological detection is one of the more reliable indicators of clinical diagnosis recognized at home and abroad. Currently, common dengue / zika antigen and antibody detection methods include ELISA and PCR, and colloidal gold. Enzyme-linked immunoassay (ELISA) and PCR detection technology require special equipment and require professional technicians to perform detection in a professional laboratory. The operation is complicated, the technical difficulty is great, the time is long, the experimental conditions are high, and there are serious biological safety problems, which are not suitable for on-site instant detection, and are suitable as a confirmatory method, but cannot be widely used for initial screening and popularization.

[0007] CN113533732A discloses that the labeled dengue virus antigen monoclonal colloidal gold complex is used in equal amounts, and CN112362870A discloses that four antibodies are coated in a ratio of 2:1:1:1 and at a concentration of 1.0-1.2 mg / mL. The difference is not great because the batch difference makes the ratio unsuitable, and the clinical sample is missed. Both of them need four different subtypes of dengue virus recombinant antigens, and the process is relatively complicated. Moreover, they only detect dengue virus and do not involve joint detection of dengue virus and zika virus.

[0008] Currently, the products on the market are basically single-index detection or dengue virus NS1 antigen and dengue virus IgG / IgM antibody detection combined detection, which can only assist in detecting dengue virus NS1 antigen or dengue virus IgG / IgM antibody, and there is no diagnostic dengue virus and zika virus combined detection chromatography kit. It is easy to miss or misdiagnose. Currently, the colloidal gold immunochromatography or enzyme-linked immunoassay detection has relatively poor sensitivity or complicated operation, cannot simultaneously detect multiple indicators, and has many missed diagnoses and false positives.

[0009] Dengue virus and Zika virus belong to the same family of flaviviruses, and their transmission routes and disease conditions are basically the same. Simultaneous infection of dengue virus and Zika virus can cause more serious phenomena. There is no dengue virus NS1 antigen and Zika antigen combined detection on the market caused by dengue virus. Therefore, there is an urgent need for a kit that can quickly detect dengue virus NS1 antigen, Zika virus NS1 antigen, dengue virus IgG / IgM antibody and Zika virus IgG / IgM antibody in blood, plasma, serum and other samples. Combined antigen and antibody detection at the same time can improve the accuracy of distinguishing dengue virus and Zika infection, and timely distinguish viruses so that patients can receive timely treatment.

[0077] In some embodiments of the present application, the pH of the HEPES buffer is 7-8.

[0078] Advantages:

[0079] (1) Dengue virus and Zika virus have more than 50% homology, resulting in cross phenomena between the two viruses, and the combined detection is more difficult in terms of technical difficulties. The specificity of dengue antibodies and Zika antibodies is also higher, and high-specificity dengue antibodies and Zika antibodies may also exhibit cross phenomena. In the present application, by screening commercial dengue antibodies and Zika antibodies, the mutual cross phenomena of combined detection are reduced by changing the antibody blocking, the binding pad and the sample pad, etc. A combined detection test strip based on color latex microspheres is constructed, which can simultaneously detect dengue virus NS1, Zika virus NS1 antigen, dengue virus IgG / IgM antibody and Zika virus IgG / IgM antibody. The combined detection test strip can simultaneously detect dengue virus NS1, Zika virus NS1 antigen, dengue virus IgG / IgM antibody and Zika virus IgG / IgM antibody, more effectively distinguishes dengue virus and Zika virus infection, and combines dengue virus IgG / IgM antibody detection and Zika virus IgG / IgM antibody detection, more quickly improves the accuracy of dengue virus infection and Zika virus infection. Moreover, it is convenient to carry and easy to operate, and can be used for on-site instant detection and large-scale preliminary screening.

[0080] (2) The combined detection test strip for dengue virus NS1 antigen and dengue virus IgG / IgM antibody adopts the form of I+II+III+IV type multi-site recombinant antigen labeling or I+II+III+IV type antibody coating, and the dengue recombinant antigen latex labeling solution is prepared by the method of "labeling I+II+III+IV type recombinant antigen", and the coating is coated by the method of "coating I+II+III+IV type recombinant monoclonal antibody". Compared with the single-site antigen and single-site monoclonal antibody coating technology, the sensitivity of the reagent is maximized, the process flow is reduced, the false positive and false negative risks brought by the preparation process of multiple antibodies are reduced, and the detection rate is increased.

[0081] (3) The application optimizes the detection of dengue virus IgG / IgM antibodies and Zika virus IgG / IgM antibodies, uses different color microspheres to couple dengue virus antigens and Zika virus antigens, adopts an indirect color microsphere chromatography technology, and more intuitively distinguishes the dengue virus IgG / IgM antibody detection and the Zika virus IgG / IgM antibody index according to line color, thereby facilitating clinical result interpretation.

[0082] (4) The particle size of the latex microsphere is larger than that of the colloidal gold, the latex microsphere is easier to observe the result as a marker for the immunochromatography qualitative product, improves the sensitivity of the product, and the latex microsphere has different colors, which can better distinguish different detection targets in the joint detection. However, the latex microsphere is easy to non-specifically adsorb biological molecules such as proteins through hydrophobic interaction, which leads to the phenomenon that the latex microsphere has poor specificity when applied to the immunochromatography product, and hinders the application of high-sensitivity latex microspheres in the immunochromatography product. In view of the poor specificity of the latex microsphere, after the latex microsphere is coupled with the antigen / antibody, the application provides a new microsphere combined blocking method, that is, the application first finds that the blocking effect of the combination of rabbit serum and PEG6000 is better than that of the commonly used BSA, PEG20000 and sodium casein, which can block the excess binding sites of the color microsphere, reduce the non-specific adsorption of the microsphere itself, and the non-specific binding sites of the coupled antigen / antibody.

[0083] Meanwhile, the application also provides a binding pad treatment liquid formula capable of quickly releasing the latex microsphere, improves the release efficiency of the latex microsphere, avoids 2 times of release in the running plate, overcomes the release residue problem of the color latex microsphere, makes the microsphere release clean on the binding pad, reduces the false positive and false negative phenomenon of the microsphere due to slow chromatography, and the result shows that the sensitivity of the latex microsphere product is about 10 times higher than that of the colloidal gold product, the product adopts color latex microspheres as coupling markers, improves the sensitivity of the product, and has a higher positive detection rate than the ordinary colloidal gold product.

[0084] (5) The test strip of the present application adopts "IgG antibody-latex microspheres-Evans blue" as a quality control system, which is sprayed on the nitrocellulose membrane, and the nitrocellulose membrane is a blue line. When the sample solution passes through the quality control line, the blue quality control line (Evans blue) will be chromatographed to the upper layer along with the liquid, and then the IgG antibody-latex microspheres will show a red quality control line, indicating that the sample chromatography is normal, and the quality control line is normal. As a quality control system, "IgG antibody-latex microspheres-Evans blue" minimizes the interference of the quality control system on the detection system, and significantly improves the specificity of the reagent. No secondary antibody commonly used in the art is introduced as a quality control line system, because the secondary antibody will bind to the specific antibody, making the quality control system easily interfered by the sample. The quality control system in the present application avoids introducing other microsphere-coupled antibodies and mammalian immunoglobulins (such as rheumatoid factor, autoantibody) to avoid cross serological reactions between them, avoiding the generation of false positives or false negatives, and avoiding abnormal detection of plasma, serum, whole blood samples in the quality control line.

[0085] (6) The present application also provides a method for simultaneously detecting dengue virus NS1, Zika virus NS1 antigen and dengue virus IgG / IgM antibody, and Zika virus IgG / IgM antibody, which is simple in steps, strong in operability, and can quickly and conveniently realize the combined detection of dengue virus IgM / IgG antibody, NS1 antigen and Zika virus IgM / IgG antibody, NS1 antigen. It can be used for rapid early diagnosis and screening of patients with primary infection and secondary or multiple infections in the early stage of heat infection, shortening the window period. The method uses a small amount of sample, is strong in operability, short in time consumption, and can obtain the detection result in 10 minutes. DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0251] “(4 / 5)”: “+” represents a positive result; “4 / 5” means that 5 positive samples are tested, 4 samples are positive, and 1 is negative.

[0252] From the above results, it can be seen that in Comparative Examples 1 to 6, the conventional blocking agent (BSA) or the single blocking method (10 v / v% rabbit serum or 10 wt% PEG6000) cannot completely block the non-specific sites of the dengue virus NS1 antibody and the Zika virus NS1 antibody. The blocking effect of BSA+PEG6000 in Comparative Example 4 is also poor. In Example 1 and Example 7, the combination of 10 v / v% rabbit serum and 10 wt% PEG6000 and the combination of 15 v / v% rabbit serum and 15 wt% PEG6000 applied to block the latex microsphere coupled antibody do not show false positive phenomena, the combination of 5 v / v% rabbit serum and 5 wt% PEG6000 applied to block the latex microsphere coupled antibody in Comparative Example 6 does not completely block, and Comparative Examples 7 and 8 both have false positive phenomena, in which the positive detection limit of the dengue virus NS1 antigen in Comparative Example 8 is weakened. Taking into account, the combination of 10 v / v% rabbit serum and 10 wt% PEG6000 applied to block the latex microsphere coupled antibody is selected, which improves the specificity of the latex coupled antigen / antibody and improves the accuracy in clinical samples.

[0253] Comparative Example 9:

[0254] The difference from Example 1 is that the conjugate pad is treated with a conjugate pad treatment solution prepared according to the following formula: 10 mM HEPES buffer, pH 7.2±0.1, containing 1 wt% sodium caseinate, 0.5 wt% Tween-80; the rest are the same as in Example 1, Example 2 and Example 3.

[0255] Comparative Example 10:

[0256] The difference from Example 1 is that the conjugate pad is treated with a conjugate pad treatment solution prepared according to the following formula: 10 mM HEPES buffer, pH 7.2±0.1, containing 1 wt% sodium caseinate, 0.5 wt% sodium laureth sulfate, 0.5 wt% Tween-80; the rest are the same as in Example 1, Example 2 and Example 3.

[0257] Comparative Example 11:

[0258] The difference from Example 1 is that the conjugate pad is treated with a conjugate pad treatment solution prepared according to the following formula: 10 mM HEPES buffer, pH 7.2±0.1, containing 1 wt% sodium caseinate, 1 wt% CHEMAL LA-9, 0.5 wt% Tween-80; the rest are the same as in Example 1, Example 2 and Example 3.

[0259] Example 9

[0260] The negative plasma, serum, whole blood were detected simultaneously with the comparative example 9-11, the dengue virus NS1 recombinant antigen (0.05 mg / mL) positive and Zika virus NS1 (0.1 mg / mL) positive were detected respectively, the results were read, and the release of the latex microspheres on the latex binding pad was observed, and the results were shown in Table 9.

[0261] Table 9

[0262]

[0263] From the above results, compared with the comparative examples 9-11, the latex microspheres in the example 1 were released very cleanly, which was beneficial to the improvement of sensitivity, and the uniformity of the reagent strip was good.

[0264] Comparative example 12

[0265] The difference from the example 1, the example 2, the example 3 and the example 4 was that the colloidal gold dispersion solution with a particle size of 40-60 nm and a concentration of 0.02 wt% was used to label the antigen / antibody needed to be labeled, and the labeling process was labeled according to the conventional process of colloidal gold. The rest was the same as the example 1, the example 2, the example 3 and the example 4, and a dengue virus NS1 antigen, Zika virus NS1 antigen, dengue virus IgG / IgM antibody, Zika virus IgG / IgM antibody combined detection reagent kit based on the colloidal gold method was prepared.

[0266] Example 10

[0267] The effect detection of the combined detection test strip in the example 4 and the comparative example 12 was carried out according to the steps in the reference example 7, and the results were shown in Table 10-Table 12.

[0269] Table 10

[0270]

[0271] 1.2 Dengue virus IgG / IgM antibody detection reagent strip

[0272] Table 11

[0273]

[0274] 1.3 Zika virus IgG / IgM antibody detection reagent strip

[0275] Table 12

[0276]

[0277] The above results show that the Dengue virus NS1 antigen and Zika virus NS1 antigen combined detection test strip (latex method) in Example 4 has a sensitivity about 10 times higher than the Dengue virus NS1 antigen and Zika virus NS1 antigen combined detection test strip based on colloidal gold method in Comparative Example 12 in detecting Dengue virus NS1 antigen and Zika virus NS1 antigen; the Dengue virus IgG / IgM antibody detection test strip (latex method) has a sensitivity about 4 times higher than the Dengue virus IgG / IgM antibody detection test strip (colloidal gold method) in detecting positive IgG / IgM antibody plasma; the Zika virus IgG / IgM antibody detection test strip (latex method) has a sensitivity about 4 times higher than the Zika virus IgG / IgM antibody detection test strip (colloidal gold method) in detecting positive IgG / IgM antibody plasma.

[0278] In general, the sensitivity of the Dengue virus NS1, Zika virus NS1 antigen and Dengue virus IgG / IgM antibody detection, Zika virus IgG / IgM antibody combined detection test kit (latex product) of the present application is much higher than that of the colloidal gold method. It is more convenient and faster to distinguish Dengue virus and Zika virus, as well as the infection, so that the patient can receive the corresponding treatment in time.
