Description

[0001] This application claims priority to Chinese Patent Application No. CN202211702576.3, filed on December 28, 2022, entitled "Treponema pallidum Antibody Detection Kit and Its Application", the entire contents of which are incorporated herein by reference. Technical Field

[0002] This invention relates to the field of biotechnology, and in particular to a Treponema pallidum antibody detection kit and its application. Background Technology

[0003] Syphilis is a chronic, complex infectious disease caused by Treponema pallidum. Its course presents with different clinical symptoms at different stages, typically beginning with an ulcer called a chancre, followed by a syphilitic rash after a long incubation period. If left untreated, infection can eventually lead to cardiovascular disease and neurosyphilis, and may also result in intrauterine infection. Since the discovery in 1905 that syphilis is caused by the pathogenic bacterium Treponema pallidum, serological testing methods have been developed. Among these methods is the detection of anticardiolipin antibodies using phospholipid antigens such as cardiolipin and lecithin, but these methods frequently produce false-positive results.

[0004] Currently, the specific detection targets for Treponema pallidum (TP) are mainly membrane proteins and several lysozymes. The genes encoding these membrane proteins and lysozymes are 12 genes in the TP repetitive gene family, of which at least 9 genes express proteins considered to be major immunogens. Among these proteins, five proteins with molecular weights of 15kD (TpN15), 17kD (TpN17), 37kD (TpN37), 45kD (TmpA), and 47kD (TpN47) have diagnostic value. TpN15 is relatively scarce in TP membrane proteins but has strong immunogenicity; TpN17 is abundant in TP membrane proteins and has been found in all stages of syphilis; TmpA varies greatly in syphilis patients undergoing treatment and holds promise for monitoring the effectiveness of syphilis treatment; TpN47 has strong immunogenicity, is abundant in the TP membrane, and is a protein component specific to the pathogen. Existing Treponema pallidum antibody detection kits use natural Treponema pallidum strains as detection antigens to detect Treponema pallidum antibodies, which has the problem of low sensitivity in detecting Treponema pallidum antibodies.

[0005] In view of this, the present invention is hereby proposed. Summary of the Invention

[0006] The purpose of this invention is to provide a Treponema pallidum antibody detection kit and its application, to solve the problems of low sensitivity and specificity of existing Treponema pallidum antibody in vitro detection reagents. This invention's kit uses four different specific sequences of Treponema pallidum membrane polypeptides conjugated with negatively charged gelatin particles, further improving the sensitivity and specificity of the detection results.

[0007] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention adopts the following technical solution:

[0008] In one aspect, the present invention provides a Treponema pallidum antibody detection kit, comprising:

[0009] The first reagent comprises a mixture of gelatin particle complexes;

[0010] The second reagent includes the negatively charged gelatin particles;

[0011] The gelatin particle complex mixture comprises: gelatin particle complex 1 obtained by coating negatively charged gelatin particles with Treponema pallidum membrane polypeptide 1 of amino acid sequence SEQ ID No. 1; gelatin particle complex 2 obtained by coating negatively charged gelatin particles with Treponema pallidum membrane polypeptide 2 of amino acid sequence SEQ ID No. 2; gelatin particle complex 3 obtained by coating negatively charged gelatin particles with Treponema pallidum membrane polypeptide 3 of amino acid sequence SEQ ID No. 3; and gelatin particle complex 4 obtained by coating negatively charged gelatin particles with Treponema pallidum membrane polypeptide 4 of amino acid sequence SEQ ID No. 4.

[0012] The negatively charged gelatin particles used in the first and second reagents are the same.

[0013] Furthermore, in the gelatin particle complex 1, the gelatin particle complex 2, the gelatin particle complex 3, and the gelatin particle complex 4, the final feed ratio of the Treponema pallidum membrane polypeptide to the coated negatively charged gelatin particles is 0.08 mg / mL, 0.1 mg / mL, 0.1 mg / mL, and 0.08 mg / mL, respectively.

[0014] Furthermore, the negatively charged gelatin particles are charged through activation with citric acid;

[0015] Preferably, the negatively charged gelatin particles in the second reagent are lyophilized agents.

[0016] Furthermore, the second reagent also includes a dissolving solution, which is a first phosphate buffer solution with a pH of 7.0 and a concentration of 0.01 mol / L. The first phosphate buffer solution contains 0.05 mg / mL trehalose, 0.05 mg / mL sodium chloride, 0.005 mg / mL Proclin 300, and 0.005 mg / mL sodium deoxycholate. The negatively charged gelatin particles have a volume percentage of 5% in the dissolving solution.

[0017] Furthermore, in the gelatin particle complex mixture, the volume ratio of gelatin particle complex 1, gelatin particle complex 2, gelatin particle complex 3 and gelatin particle complex 4 is 1:1:1:1.

[0018] Furthermore, the first reagent is a lyophilized agent; the Treponema pallidum antibody detection kit also includes a dissolving solution; the dissolving solution is a first phosphate buffer with a pH of 7.0 and a concentration of 0.01 mol / L, the first phosphate buffer containing 0.05 mg / mL trehalose, 0.05 mg / mL sodium chloride, 0.005 mg / mL Proclin 300, and 0.005 mg / mL sodium deoxycholate.

[0019] Furthermore, the first reagent also includes a dissolving solution, which is a first phosphate buffer solution with a pH of 7.0 and a concentration of 0.01 mol / L. The first phosphate buffer solution contains 0.05 mg / mL trehalose, 0.05 mg / mL sodium chloride, 0.005 mg / mL Proclin 300, and 0.005 mg / mL sodium deoxycholate. The gelatin particle complex mixture has a volume percentage of 5% in the dissolving solution.

[0020] Furthermore, the kit also includes a sample diluent.

[0021] Preferably, the sample diluent is a second phosphate buffer with pH 7.0 and a concentration of 0.01 mol / L, wherein the second phosphate buffer comprises 0.05 mg / mL trehalose, 0.05 mg / mL sodium chloride, 0.005 mg / mL Proclin 300, and a non-pathogenic Treponema pallidum solution with a volume percentage of 0.002%.

[0022] If the sample concentration is too high, a sample diluent can be used to dilute the sample so that the concentration is within the test range.

[0023] In another aspect, the present invention provides the use of the kit in the in vitro detection of Treponema pallidum antibodies for non-disease diagnostic purposes.

[0024] Furthermore, the kit is used for the quantitative detection of Treponema pallidum antibodies in vitro.

[0025] In one embodiment, the kit of the present invention is suitable for detecting samples including serum or plasma.

[0026] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of the present invention are as follows:

[0027] The Treponema pallidum antibodies produced in the blood of syphilis patients are a mixture of antibodies (polyclonal antibodies) targeting different Treponema pallidum antigenic epitopes. The types and proportions of antibodies produced vary from individual to individual. Currently, commercially available natural Treponema pallidum strains only have some antigenic determinants fully exposed, making it highly susceptible to false negatives when using a single antigen for immunological testing, resulting in low sensitivity.

[0028] The Treponema pallidum antibody detection kit provided in this invention, through the combined use of Treponema pallidum membrane polypeptide 1 with amino acid sequence SEQ ID No. 1, Treponema pallidum membrane polypeptide 2 with amino acid sequence SEQ ID No. 2, Treponema pallidum membrane polypeptide 3 with amino acid sequence SEQ ID No. 3, and Treponema pallidum membrane polypeptide 4 with amino acid sequence SEQ ID No. 4, covers as many specific and effective antigenic epitopes as possible.

[0029] In the gelatin particle complex 1, gelatin particle complex 2, gelatin particle complex 3, and gelatin particle complex 4, the preferred final feed ratios of the Treponema pallidum membrane polypeptides (Treponema pallidum membrane polypeptide 1, Treponema pallidum membrane polypeptide 2, Treponema pallidum membrane polypeptide 3, and Treponema pallidum membrane polypeptide 4, respectively) to the coated negatively charged gelatin particles are 0.08 mg / mL, 0.1 mg / mL, 0.1 mg / mL, and 0.08 mg / mL, respectively. Using this ratio to replace the natural Treponema pallidum strain coating carrier, the sensitivity is 97.5%, the specificity is 97.5%, the false positive rate is 2.5%, and the false negative rate is 2.5%. The commercially available kits prepared with vectors coated with natural Treponema pallidum strains (at a final feed ratio of 0.15 mg / mL) have a false positive rate of 7.5% and a false negative rate of 12.5%. The Treponema pallidum antibody detection kit provided in this invention reduces the false positive rate by 66.7% and the false negative rate by 80%, significantly improving the effectiveness and further enhancing the sensitivity and specificity of Treponema pallidum antibody detection in the serum of different patients.

The reaction image is shown below. Figure 3 As shown in the figure. When the particle ring in a well of a 96-well plate becomes significantly larger, and its outer edge is unevenly and randomly aggregated around it, the result in that well is determined to be (+), and the reaction image is shown in the figure.

If the reaction image in the third well (final sample dilution 1:40) is negative and the reaction image in the fourth well (final sample dilution 1:80) is positive, the sample is considered positive. If the reaction image in the fourth well (final sample dilution 1:80) is negative, the sample is considered negative. If the reaction image in the third well (final sample dilution 1:40) is negative and the reaction image in the fourth well (final sample dilution 1:80) is ±, the sample should be retested.

[0143]

[0144] Results Analysis:

[0145] Because there is a dissociation equilibrium between synthetic Treponema pallidum membrane peptides, natural Treponema pallidum strains, and negatively charged gelatin particles, and because the negatively charged gelatin particles cannot always maintain sufficient contact with the synthetic Treponema pallidum membrane peptides and natural Treponema pallidum strains, there will be uneven coating of synthetic Treponema pallidum membrane peptides and natural Treponema pallidum strains on the negatively charged gelatin particles, and the number of these substances will vary greatly. Therefore, the only standard to indicate the amount of antigen coated on the negatively charged gelatin particles is to calculate the average ratio of synthetic Treponema pallidum membrane peptides to negatively charged gelatin particles, or the ratio of natural Treponema pallidum strains to negatively charged gelatin particles after coating.

[0146] Based on a comprehensive assessment of sensitivity and specificity, the higher the sensitivity and the lower the specificity, the better the effect.

[0147] Table 1 shows that the final concentration ratios of Treponema pallidum membrane peptide 1 coated with negatively charged gelatin particles were 0.04 mg / mL, 0.08 mg / mL, and 0.1 mg / mL, with a sensitivity of 85%, a specificity of 90%, a false negative rate of 15%, and a false positive rate of 10%. The upper limit of the final concentration ratio of Treponema pallidum membrane peptide 1 coated with negatively charged gelatin particles was 0.1 mg / mL, and the lower limit was 0.04 mg / mL. Considering that the final concentration ratio of Treponema pallidum membrane peptide 1 coated with negatively charged gelatin particles may have a normal distribution relationship with the sensitivity and specificity results, it is speculated that a final concentration ratio of 0.08 mg / mL is the preferred ratio.

[0148] Table 2 shows that the final concentration ratios of Treponema pallidum membrane peptide 2 coated with negatively charged gelatin particles were 0.08 mg / mL, 0.1 mg / mL, and 0.15 mg / mL, with a sensitivity of 80%, a specificity of 92.5%, a false negative rate of 20%, and a false positive rate of 7.5%. The upper limit of the final concentration ratio of Treponema pallidum membrane peptide 2 coated with negatively charged gelatin particles was 0.15 mg / mL, and the lower limit was 0.08 mg / mL. Considering that the final concentration ratio of Treponema pallidum membrane peptide 2 coated with negatively charged gelatin particles may have a normal distribution relationship with the sensitivity and specificity results, it is speculated that a final concentration ratio of 0.1 mg / mL is the preferred ratio.

[0149] Table 3 shows that the final concentration ratios of Treponema pallidum membrane peptide 3 coated with negatively charged gelatin particles were 0.08 mg / mL, 0.1 mg / mL, and 0.15 mg / mL, with a sensitivity of 82.5%, a specificity of 90%, a false negative rate of 17.5%, and a false positive rate of 10%. The upper limit of the final concentration ratio of Treponema pallidum membrane peptide 3 coated with negatively charged gelatin particles was 0.15 mg / mL, and the lower limit was 0.08 mg / mL. Considering that the final concentration ratio of Treponema pallidum membrane peptide 3 coated with negatively charged gelatin particles may have a normal distribution relationship with the sensitivity and specificity results, it is speculated that a final concentration ratio of 0.1 mg / mL is the preferred ratio.

[0150] Table 4 shows that the final concentration ratios of Treponema pallidum membrane peptide 4 coated with negatively charged gelatin particles were 0.04 mg / mL, 0.08 mg / mL, and 0.1 mg / mL, with a sensitivity of 82.5%, a specificity of 90%, a false negative rate of 17.5%, and a false positive rate of 10%. The upper limit of the final concentration ratio of Treponema pallidum membrane peptide 4 coated with negatively charged gelatin particles was 0.1 mg / mL, and the lower limit was 0.04 mg / mL. Considering that the final concentration ratio of Treponema pallidum membrane peptide 4 coated with negatively charged gelatin particles may have a normal distribution relationship with the sensitivity and specificity results, it is speculated that a final concentration ratio of 0.08 mg / mL is the preferred ratio.

[0151] Table 5 shows that the final concentration ratios of commercially available natural Treponema pallidum strains coated with negatively charged gelatin particles were 0.1 mg / mL, 0.15 mg / mL, and 0.2 mg / mL, with a sensitivity of 87.5%, a specificity of 92.5%, a false negative rate of 12.5%, and a false positive rate of 7.5%. The upper limit of the final concentration ratio of natural Treponema pallidum strains coated with negatively charged gelatin particles is 0.2 mg / mL, and the lower limit is 0.1 mg / mL. Considering that the final concentration ratio of natural Treponema pallidum strains coated with negatively charged gelatin particles may have a normal distribution relationship with the sensitivity and specificity results, it is speculated that a final concentration ratio of 0.15 mg / mL is the preferred ratio.

[0161]

[0162] Results analysis:

[0163] As shown in Table 6, the Treponema pallidum antibody detection kit prepared by mixing Treponema pallidum membrane peptide 1 coated with negatively charged gelatin particles at a final concentration ratio of 0.08 mg / mL, Treponema pallidum membrane peptide 2 coated with negatively charged gelatin particles at a final concentration ratio of 0.1 mg / mL, Treponema pallidum membrane peptide 3 coated with negatively charged gelatin particles at a final concentration ratio of 0.1 mg / mL, and Treponema pallidum membrane peptide 4 coated with negatively charged gelatin particles at a final concentration ratio of 0.08 mg / mL in a 1 mL:1 mL:1 mL:1 mL ratio exhibits superior sensitivity and specificity compared to the Treponema pallidum antibody detection kit prepared by mixing commercially available natural Treponema pallidum strains coated with negatively charged gelatin particles at a final concentration ratio of 0.15 mg / mL. The false negative rate decreased from 12.5% ​​to 2.5%, a reduction of 80%; the false positive rate decreased from 7.5% to 2.5%, a reduction of 66.7%, demonstrating a significant improvement in both sensitivity and specificity. The inventors speculate that a mixture of Treponema pallidum membrane polypeptide 1, Treponema pallidum membrane polypeptide 2, Treponema pallidum membrane polypeptide 3, and Treponema pallidum membrane polypeptide 4, compared to natural Treponema pallidum strains, is more conducive to the exposure of antigen binding sites, thus improving both sensitivity and specificity.

[0168]

[0169] Table 8. Detection of final concentration and feed ratio of synthetic Treponema pallidum membrane polypeptide coated with negatively charged gelatin particles

[0170]

[0171] Results analysis:

[0172] Based on Tables 6 and 7, the Treponema pallidum anti-inflammatory drug prepared by mixing Treponema pallidum membrane peptide 1 coated with negatively charged gelatin particles at a final concentration ratio of 0.08 mg / mL, Treponema pallidum membrane peptide 2 coated with negatively charged gelatin particles at a final concentration ratio of 0.1 mg / mL, Treponema pallidum membrane peptide 3 coated with negatively charged gelatin particles at a final concentration ratio of 0.1 mg / mL, and Treponema pallidum membrane peptide 4 coated with negatively charged gelatin particles at a final concentration ratio of 0.08 mg / mL in a 1 mL:1 mL:1 mL:1 mL ratio The optimal combination of the antibody detection kits yields the highest sensitivity and specificity for Treponema pallidum antibody detection, with a sensitivity of 97.5%, a specificity of 97.5%, a false positive rate of 2.5%, and a false negative rate of 2.5%. Compared to commercially available natural Treponema pallidum strains coated with negatively charged gelatin particles at a final concentration of 0.15 mg / mL, which achieves a sensitivity of 87.5%, a specificity of 92.5%, a false negative rate of 12.5%, and a false positive rate of 7.5%, the kits demonstrate a significant reduction in false positives (66.7%) and false negatives (80%).

[0173] The inventors hypothesize that the four Treponema pallidum membrane peptides (1, 2, 3, and 4) selected in this application each contain different antigenic determinants. The binding rate constants of the antigenic determinants of the four antigens and their corresponding antibodies are constant but different. The concentration level signal value of a single antigen is positively correlated with the signal value level. The immunoassay methodology determines the positive or negative result by comparing the signal value with a pre-set threshold. The four antigens have a complementary relationship in antibody detection in the population. The final feed ratio when the four antigens are used simultaneously is particularly important. Only when the signal value levels of the mixed antigens are adjusted to be similar, and the positive determination values ​​of the three antigens are close, will the sensitivity and specificity be highest. If the concentration of a certain antigen is relatively low, the signal value of the sample that can only be detected by that antigen will be below the threshold, resulting in a false negative and a decrease in sensitivity. Similarly, if the concentration of a certain antigen is relatively high, the overall signal value of the sample will be increased, the threshold will shift upward, and a false positive will be detected, resulting in a decrease in specificity.

[0174] This invention utilizes a mixture of negatively charged gelatin particles coated with Treponema pallidum membrane peptide 1 at a final concentration of 0.08 mg / mL, Treponema pallidum membrane peptide 2 at a final concentration of 0.1 mg / mL, Treponema pallidum membrane peptide 3 at a final concentration of 0.1 mg / mL, and Treponema pallidum membrane peptide 4 at a final concentration of 0.08 mg / mL, in a ratio of 1 mL:1 mL:1 mL:1 mL. This mixture replaces commercially available natural Treponema pallidum strains coated with negatively charged gelatin particles, further improving the sensitivity and specificity of Treponema pallidum antibody detection in the serum of different patients.
