Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The invention belongs to the field of biotechnology, and in particular relates to a direct immunofluorescence reagent and a kit for detecting Cryptosporidium parvum and applications thereof. Background Art
[0002] Cryptosporidium is an intracellular parasitic protozoan. After entering the host, it mainly parasitizes on the brush edge of gastrointestinal epithelial cells. Cryptosporidiosis is widely distributed worldwide and is the main cause of diarrhea in many animals and humans. In infected animals with normal immune function, diarrhea is short-term, generally lasting about 2-3 weeks. In immunocompromised people, such as AIDS patients, it is accompanied by long-term and persistent diarrhea, which can be life-threatening. Cryptosporidium is mainly transmitted through fecal-oral transmission, and humans and animals are mainly infected by accidentally ingesting contaminated food and water. In low-income and middle-income countries, cryptosporidiosis is one of the important causes of moderate to severe diarrhea and even death. In high-income countries, cryptosporidiosis is the main cause of foodborne and waterborne outbreaks and is one of the pathogens that must be tested for drinking water in many countries. As a zoonotic parasitic protozoan, Cryptosporidium seriously threatens human life and health and brings huge economic losses to the development of animal husbandry. Therefore, rapid detection of Cryptosporidium is conducive to early detection and prevention of the disease, reducing the incidence rate, which is crucial to human health and animal husbandry development.
[0003] Currently, the commonly used methods for detecting Cryptosporidium include pathogen detection, immunological detection, and molecular detection. Among them, the sensitivity of pathogen detection is limited and it relies on professional technicians. Molecular detection has good sensitivity and can distinguish between species and subtypes, but it also has disadvantages such as being time-consuming and requiring high technical requirements. Immunological detection has higher sensitivity than other methods and has been widely used in the detection of Cryptosporidium. Among them, immunofluorescence detection based on monoclonal antibodies is a better detection method that can detect samples with a small number of oocysts. At present, commercial kits based on immunological methods have been launched abroad, such as those from Waterborne Company in the United States. The kit can detect Cryptosporidium oocysts by direct immunofluorescence. The antibodies produced by it are targeted at Cryptosporidium oocyst wall antigens and are used to detect Cryptosporidium in feces, food and environmental samples. The current international gold standard for detecting Cryptosporidium in water is the EPA 1623 method, which also involves the antibodies in the kit. The antibody is expensive and has a low titer (1:20), so it cannot be widely used. Therefore, the development of a higher-titer direct immunofluorescence reagent and kit for detecting Cryptosporidium parvum can greatly reduce the cost of testing, which is of great significance to the detection, diagnosis and prevention and control of cryptosporidiosis in human health, clinical, scientific research institutions and aquaculture.

[0051] Example 2: Preparation of anti-Cryptosporidium parvum monoclonal antibodies
[0052] 1. Animal immunization: Three 6-week-old female BALB / c mice were selected, and the whole worm protein solution of Cryptosporidium parvum was mixed with an equal volume of adjuvant. Freund's complete adjuvant was used for the first immunization, and Freund's incomplete adjuvant was used for the second to fourth immunizations. The protein amount was 50 μg / mouse. After emulsification, each mouse was immunized by multiple subcutaneous injections on the back. The second to fourth immunizations were performed on the 14th, 28th, and 35th days after the first immunization, respectively; on the 7th day after the fourth immunization, the tail was cut off and blood was collected to separate the serum.

After the serum antibody titer reached 100,000, the mice were immunized by intraperitoneal impact with the whole worm protein solution without adjuvant, and fusion was performed 3 days later.
[0053] 2. Cell fusion: Place mouse spleen cells and SP2 / 0 myeloma cells in a fusion bottle at a ratio of 5:1. Centrifuge at 1000r / min for 5 minutes, discard the supernatant, beat the cell pellet evenly, add 1mL of 50% PEG fusion agent preheated to 42°C along the tube wall, slowly add 30mL of serum-free DMEM medium to terminate the fusion, let stand for 10 minutes, and centrifuge at 1000r / min for 5 minutes. Use HAT medium to suspend the cell pellet, mix it, and add 100μL per well to the 96-cell culture plate containing feeder cells prepared the day before, and culture it in a constant temperature CO2 incubator.
[0054] 3. Screening and subcloning of hybridoma cell lines: Indirect ELISA and indirect immunofluorescence were used to simultaneously screen the target positive fusion cells. The whole worm protein of Cryptosporidium parvum was used as the detection antigen when the indirect ELISA method was used, and Cryptosporidium parvum was used as the detection antigen when the indirect immunofluorescence method was used. After screening and two rounds of subcloning, hybridoma cells that can stably secrete proteins targeting the oocyst wall of Cryptosporidium parvum were obtained.

Seven days later, 1×10 6 The mouse ascites was collected when the mouse abdomen was obviously bulging about 7 days later. The collected mouse ascites was centrifuged at 10000g / min for 10min and the supernatant was stored at -20℃.
[0056] 5. Monoclonal antibody purification: Take Protein A + G Agarose to load the column, balance the column with 20mL TBS buffer, add mouse ascites to the chromatography column after passing through a 0.45μm filter membrane, mix it with Protein A + G Agarose, and mix it in a 4℃ chromatography cabinet for 30 minutes to make it fully hang on the column. After the mouse ascites flows through the column, rinse it with 20mL TBS buffer to elute non-specific impurities, and then elute the antibody with 6mL 50mM glycine (PH: 1.9). The collected antibodies are concentrated in a 10k ultrafiltration tube at 5000g / min and centrifuged for 30min, and the purified antibodies are replaced with PBS, the concentration is measured, and the antibodies are stored in a -80℃ refrigerator.
[0057] 6. Monoclonal antibody characterization
[0058] (1) According to the instructions of the Proteintech monoclonal antibody subtype identification kit, the subclass of the 2E1-C3 monoclonal antibody was determined to be IgG1.
[0059] (2) Identification of monoclonal antibody specificity: The obtained monoclonal antibodies were subjected to direct immunofluorescence detection with Cryptosporidium parvum, Escherichia coli, Toxoplasma gondii, and Eimeria, respectively. The results showed that the obtained monoclonal antibodies only reacted with the oocyst wall of Cryptosporidium parvum and had no cross-reaction with other pathogens. The identification results are shown in Table 1.

[0062] Note: “-” means no specific fluorescence, “+” means specific fluorescence.
[0063] Example 3: Preparation of immunofluorescence reagents
[0064] The monoclonal antibody against the oocyst wall of Cryptosporidium parvum was fluorescently labeled according to the Thermo Fisher labeling kit. 40 μL of boric acid buffer was added to 0.5 mL of antibody solution diluted to 2 mg / mL, and then the above solution was transferred to a centrifuge tube containing 50 μg of DyLight fluorescent dye. The tube was gently vortexed and centrifuged. After incubation at room temperature in the dark for 60 min, the tube was taken out and placed in a centrifuge column containing purification resin. The tube was slightly shaken to completely mix the labeled antibody and the resin. The fluorescently labeled antibody was obtained after centrifugation at 1000 g / min for 1 min at room temperature. The tube was aliquoted and stored at -20°C in the dark for later use.
[0065] Example 4: Establishment of direct immunofluorescence detection method
[0066] Take an appropriate amount of Cryptosporidium parvum oocysts, treat with sodium hypochlorite solution on ice for 10 minutes, centrifuge at 13200r / min for 3 minutes at 4°C, resuspend the oocysts in PBS, air-dry for 10 minutes, and then fix with methanol at room temperature for 15 minutes, wash with PBS three times, wash away the methanol, and then incubate with 5% TritonX-100 at 37°C for 40 minutes, and then dilute the labeled fluorescent antibody according to the appropriate concentration and take 30μL to each well, incubate at 37°C for 40 minutes, and then wash with PBS. Take the diluted DAPI dye solution in each well, incubate at 37°C for 5 minutes, and then wash with PBS. After the slide is dry, take 7μL of anti-fluorescence quencher in the center of each well, seal the slide and observe under a fluorescence microscope. The appearance of specific apple green fluorescence is judged as positive, and the control well is judged as negative if no specific apple green fluorescence appears.
[0067] Example 5: Identification of immunofluorescence reagent specificity
[0068] 1. Determination of the working concentration of the fluorescent reagent: Take an appropriate amount of Cryptosporidium parvum oocysts for spot drying, permeabilization, and then dilute the immunofluorescence reagent in multiples for direct immunofluorescence test. The dilution multiple that produces clear, bright, and specific apple green fluorescence is the maximum dilution multiple of the reagent. The results showed that the highest dilution multiple of the fluorescent reagent was 1:1200. To ensure the sensitivity and effectiveness of the fluorescent reagent, the working concentration was determined to be 1:400.
[0069] 2. Specificity detection of fluorescent reagent: After diluting the fluorescent antibody, Escherichia coli, Toxoplasma gondii, and Eimeria were taken as controls for direct immunofluorescence test. The results showed that only the oocyst wall of Cryptosporidium parvum showed specific apple green fluorescence under the fluorescence microscope, which was a positive reaction; other pathogens did not show specific apple green fluorescence, which was a negative reaction; the negative control wells also did not show specific green fluorescence, indicating that the prepared immunofluorescence reagent had good specificity and could be used for the detection and identification of Cryptosporidium parvum. The results are shown in Table 2.

[0072] 3. Repeatability and stability test of immunofluorescence reagent: After the immunofluorescence reagent was packaged and stored at -20℃ for 3, 6, 9, and 12 months, a direct immunofluorescence test was performed to determine the shelf life and stability of the reagent. The results showed that the titer of the fluorescent antibody remained unchanged after the immunofluorescence reagent was stored at -20℃ for 12 months. Therefore, the storage period was temporarily set at -20℃ for 12 months.
[0073] Example 6: Application of direct immunofluorescence detection kit
[0074] 1. Detection of Cryptosporidium parvum in environmental samples
[0075] 5,000 Cryptosporidium parvum oocysts were artificially implanted into lake water from the environment, and tested using a direct immunofluorescence detection kit. The results showed that the Cryptosporidium parvum in the lake water emitted a clear, bright, and specific apple green fluorescence, indicating that the kit has good specificity and can be used for the detection of environmental samples.
[0076] 2. Detection of Cryptosporidium parvum in clinical stool samples
[0077] The direct immunofluorescence detection kit for Cryptosporidium parvum was used to detect 84 clinical stool samples from Ningxia, and the qPCR test results were used as a control. The results showed that the positive clinical stool samples containing 10,000 oocysts per gram of stool had a detection rate of 33% (4 / 12), and the positive clinical stool samples containing 100,000 oocysts or more per gram of stool had a detection rate of 100% (32 / 32), and bright, specific apple green fluorescence appeared. The positive samples containing 1,000 oocysts per gram of stool and the negative stool samples were not detected. The test results show that the kit has good specificity and can be used for the detection of clinical stool samples.
