Description

A gold nanoprobe for detecting novel coronavirus antigens, and its preparation method and application Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the field of biological detection technology, and specifically to a gold nanoprobe for detecting novel coronavirus antigens, and a preparation method and application thereof. Background Art

[0002] Modern healthcare systems have achieved remarkable success in preventing and controlling the novel coronavirus. Universal testing and quarantine measures have effectively blocked the virus's transmission pathways, with a key step being the use of in vitro diagnostic technology to screen for pathogen carriers. Colloidal gold immunoassays offer valuable applications in the face of the rapidly spreading novel coronavirus. While their advantages are rapid detection and ease of use, they also suffer from insufficient sensitivity, making it difficult to generate positive results when testing samples with low virus concentrations. Therefore, improving detection sensitivity is a key area for advancement and breakthroughs in colloidal gold immunoassay technology.

[0003] In colloidal gold immunoassay technology, sensitization can be achieved by screening antibodies with higher affinity, adjusting the production process for a better result, or using colorimetric reagents. Screening antibodies can improve detection sensitivity, but the investment cost and time are high, and the resulting antibodies have a narrow range of applications. Optimization of the process flow often has limited effects, and the resulting process methods are also not widely applicable. Auxiliary colorimetric reagents for sensitization may require storage conditions at low temperatures and away from light, and some components are toxic, in addition to increased costs and the cumbersome process of additional modification of colloidal gold.

[0004] Currently, there are also colloidal gold test strips that use gold nanoflowers to detect the new coronavirus. This test strip has the following disadvantages: (1) The preparation of gold nanoflowers requires strict temperature control, which has high requirements for experimental conditions; (2) The colloidal gold-labeled antibodies used need to be coupled with streptavidin and biotin to improve the affinity for the antibodies. The gold-labeled antibodies also need to be dialyzed and purified by column, and the preparation method is complicated and tedious; (3) The material requirements for the nitrocellulose membrane are high, and the nanocellulose gel needs to be pre-coated near the detection line to further amplify the detection signal. (4) The sensitivity is low, with a minimum detection limit of 2.0×10 2 TCID 50 / mL, it cannot distinguish lower concentrations of new coronavirus samples and is difficult to meet market demand.

[0093] Example 3 Preparation of colloidal gold immunochromatographic test strips for detecting novel coronavirus and testing their sensitivity

[0094] 1. Experimental Methods

[0095] 1. Preparation method

[0096] (1) Preparation of conjugate pad: The resuspended gold nanoprobes from Experimental Groups 1 to 4 and the control group of Example 2 were uniformly sprayed onto an 8 mm wide glass fiber membrane using a gold spraying apparatus at a spraying rate of 5 μL / cm to obtain a glass fiber membrane sprayed with gold nanoprobes. The glass fiber membrane sprayed with gold nanoprobes was dried in a 37°C oven for 12 to 16 hours to obtain a conjugate pad.

[0097] (2) Preparation of sample pad: Soak an 18 mm wide glass fiber membrane in a sample treatment solution for 1 hour to obtain a sample treatment solution-soaked glass fiber membrane. Dry the sample treatment solution-soaked glass fiber membrane in a 50°C oven for 10 hours to obtain a sample pad. The sample treatment solution consists of an aqueous solution of 6% (w / v) sucrose, 2% (w / v) trehalose, 0.1% (v / v) Tween-20, and 0.5% (w / v) BSA.

[0098] (3) Preparation of antibody-coated nitrocellulose membrane: Use a PVC base plate with self-adhesive tape (upper 15 mm + middle 25 mm + lower 20 mm) and stick a 25 cm wide nitrocellulose membrane (flow rate 130 s) in the middle of the PVC base plate.

[0099] Dilute goat anti-rabbit polyclonal antibody to 1 mg / mL with Antibody Diluent 1. Streak the control line (C line) of the nitrocellulose membrane with 1 mg / mL goat anti-rabbit polyclonal antibody at a rate of 1 mL / cm using a streak meter. Dilute SC2N-113 monoclonal antibody to 1.5 mg / mL with Antibody Diluent 2. Streak the test line (T line) of the nitrocellulose membrane with 1.5 mg / mL SC2N-113 monoclonal antibody at a rate of 1 μL / cm using a streak meter to obtain a streaked nitrocellulose membrane.

[0100] The nitrocellulose membrane with the lines was placed in an oven at 50°C and dried for 10 hours to obtain a PVC base plate with the antibody-coated nitrocellulose membrane.

[0101] Antibody diluent 1 consisted of 1% (w / v) sucrose, 0.3% (w / v) trehalose, 1% (v / v) methanol, and 0.01% (w / v) PEG20000 in PBS (10 mM, pH 7.4). Antibody diluent 2 consisted of 3% (w / v) sucrose, 1% (w / v) trehalose, 3% (v / v) methanol, and 0.05% (w / v) PEG20000 in PBS (10 mM, pH 7.4).

[0102] (4) Assembling colloidal gold immunochromatographic test strips: As shown in Figure 1, absorbent paper (i.e., absorbent pad), nitrocellulose membrane, conjugate pad, and sample pad are sequentially attached to the PVC base plate, with each part overlapping by 1 to 2 mm. Among them, the quality control line (C line) is on the side close to the absorbent pad, and the detection line (T line) is on the side close to the conjugate pad. According to the above steps, a PVC base plate with a nitrocellulose membrane coated with an antibody is prepared. One end of the PVC base plate is stacked with absorbent paper, and the other end is stacked with a conjugate pad and a sample pad in sequence, wherein the conjugate pad is between the nitrocellulose membrane and the sample pad. The test strip is cut into 3 mm widths.

[0103] By the above method, a colloidal gold immunochromatographic test strip for the new coronavirus was prepared using the resuspended gold nanoprobes of experimental groups 1 to 4 and the control group in Example 2.

[0104] 2. Sample determination method: Dilute the new coronavirus positive reference (Brazilian strain, 10 6 TCID 50 / mL, purchased from Nanjing Baikang Biotechnology Co., Ltd.), using the sample diluent as a negative control, a two-fold dilution method was used for gradient dilution, with dilutions of 16,000-fold, 32,000-fold, 64,000-fold, and 128,000-fold, respectively. 50 μL of the diluted sample was added to the sample pad of different colloidal gold immunochromatographic test strips and allowed to stand for 15-30 minutes. The test results were directly interpreted or photographed and recorded. The sample diluent was a 20 mM boric acid solution containing 0.1% (v / v) Tween-20 and 0.05% (v / v) ProClin-300, pH 7.4.

[0105] 3. Interpretation method: If the quality control line (C line) does not show color, it is an invalid test result; if the quality control line (C line) shows color and the test line (T line) shows color, it is a positive result; if the quality control line (C line) shows color and the test line (T line) does not show color, it is a negative result.

[0106] 2. Experimental Results

[0107] As shown in Table 1, the test strip prepared with the gold nanoflowers in Experimental Group 4 of Example 2 can still clearly display and detect the novel coronavirus pseudovirus sample (Brazilian strain, 7.8125 TCID) diluted 128,000 times. 50 / mL).

[0108] The color development of the negative control test strip is shown in Figure 2. The new coronavirus pseudovirus sample (Brazilian strain, 62.5TCID 50 The color development of the test strip (10000 times diluted 1000 times) is shown in Figure 3. The new coronavirus pseudovirus sample (Brazilian strain, 31.25TCID 50 The color development of the test strip (10000 times diluted 1000 times) is shown in Figure 4. The new coronavirus pseudovirus sample (Brazilian strain, 15.625TCID 50 The color development of the test strip ( / mL) is shown in Figure 5. The new coronavirus pseudovirus sample (Brazilian strain, 7.8125TCID) after 128,000-fold dilution 50 The color development of the test strip (100 μg / mL) is shown in Figure 6. In Example 2, experimental groups 1 and 3, while using lower amounts of gold nanoprobes than the control group, exhibited superior detection line intensity and sensitivity. Increasing the gold nanoflower probe dosage by fourfold increased sensitivity by a further twofold compared to the original dosage, with no false positives. The specific test results are summarized in Table 1.

[0109] The above results show that the colloidal gold immunochromatographic test strips for detecting the new coronavirus prepared with the gold nanoflowers of Example 1 have high sensitivity, and the detection line is purple-black, which can produce a stronger visual contrast with the white nitrocellulose membrane background. Among them, the test strips prepared with 75nm gold nanoflowers can effectively detect the new coronavirus pseudovirus sample (Brazilian strain, about 7.8125TCID) diluted 128,000 times. 50 / mL), showing a clear weak positive.

[0110] Table 1 Sensitivity test Note: “-” indicates negative; “- / +” indicates the T line is sometimes present and sometimes absent; “+” indicates a clear weak positive; “++” indicates a positive; “+++” indicates a strong positive.
