Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to the fields of immunoassay and immunodiagnostic technologies, and in particular to a chemiluminescent substrate solution, a chemiluminescent detection kit, and a detection method. Background Technology

[0002] Chemiluminescent immunoassay (CLIA) has seen rapid development in recent years due to its high sensitivity, wide linear detection range, fast analysis speed, and simple operation. Commonly used chemiluminescent substrates include acridinium esters, alkaline phosphatase, and luminol. Acridinium esters exhibit flash-type luminescence, characterized by rapid, concentrated, and high-intensity emission, resulting in fast detection and high sensitivity and precision, making it an excellent chemiluminescent substrate.

[0003] Acridine esters commonly used for antibody and antigen labeling include NSP-DMAE-NHS and NSP-SA-NHS. Acridine esters, or those labeled on antibodies or antigens, do not emit light themselves; they only emit light through a chemical reaction in the presence of a substrate solution. The substrate solution consists of two independent components: hydrogen peroxide containing an inorganic acid (mainly nitric acid) and an inorganic base (mainly sodium hydroxide). The mechanism of acridine ester luminescence involves the attack of hydrogen peroxide ions on the acridine ester in sodium hydroxide solution, generating an unstable cyclic intermediate. This cyclic intermediate decomposes into carbon dioxide and an excited-state N-methylacridone. When the excited-state N-methylacridone returns to its ground state, it emits blue light with a maximum emission wavelength of 430 nm.

[0004] Chemiluminescent substrate solutions often contain surfactants to enhance the luminescence signal. Commonly used surfactants include Triton X-100, CTAC (hexadecyltrimethylammonium chloride), and Tween-20. CN117769588A introduces benzyldimethyldodecylammonium chloride with an aromatic head group into CTAC, which enhances the signal even more than CTAC. In addition, the use of fluorescent agents with high fluorescence quantum yields, such as sodium fluorescein, rhodamine B, and rhodamine 6G, can also improve the quantum yield of chemiluminescent compounds, thereby enhancing the signal.

[0005] Traditional chemiluminescent substrates use surfactants to enhance the signal, but this also amplifies the luminescence value caused by nonspecific adsorption background, often without significantly changing the signal-to-noise ratio. However, at excessively high surfactant concentrations, the background caused by nonspecific adsorption increases faster than the signal, leading to a decrease in signal-to-noise ratio and detection sensitivity.

[0115] As can be seen from the table above:

[0116] Examples 1, 2, and 3, in which blue light absorbers were added, all showed lower luminescence values ​​compared to Comparative Examples 1, 2, and 3, in which no blue light absorbers were added. This is because the blue light emitted by acridine ester was absorbed by the blue light absorber, resulting in less detected light. For the three concentrations of NSP-DMAE-NHS (1 ng / mL, 10 ng / mL, and 100 ng / mL), the decrease in luminescence value was basically the same for all three concentrations of acridine ester in Examples 1, 2, and 3. However, for the two concentrations of acridine ester with very low luminescence values ​​(0.01 ng / mL and 0.1 ng / mL), the decrease in luminescence value was greater, indicating that at these two concentrations, the luminescence value of acridine ester was very low, and a larger proportion of the light was absorbed by the blue light absorber.

[0117] Compared to Example 1, Example 6 had the same substrate formulation except for the amount of Orange O. The concentration of Orange O in Example 6 was 5 mg / mL, while in Example 1 it was 1 mg / mL. The luminescence values ​​of Example 6 (acridinium ester concentrations of 1, 10, and 100 ng / mL) were only 0.37 times that of Comparative Example 1 (without Orange O), while Example 1 was 0.84 times. At very low acridine ester concentrations (0.01 and 0.1 ng / mL), the luminescence values ​​of Example 6 decreased by a greater proportion than those of Example 1 (0.25 times vs. 0.69 times, 0.18 times vs. 0.52 times). This shows that with the addition of a blue light absorber, the luminescence values ​​of different concentrations of acridine ester decreased by varying proportions. The higher the amount of blue light absorber, the greater the decrease in luminescence value. For higher concentrations of acridine ester, the decrease in luminescence value was basically the same for the same amount of blue light absorber. However, for acridine esters with lower concentrations, the lower the concentration of acridine ester, the greater the decrease in luminescence value when the same amount of blue light absorber is used. Increasing the amount of blue light absorber can help to further reduce the proportion of luminescence value decrease in low-concentration acridine esters.

[0118] Performance Test 2: NSP-DMAE-HEG-Glu-NHS Direct Luminescence Test

[0119] Replace NSP-DMAE-NHS with NSP-DMAE-HEG-Glu-NHS, and keep the other test conditions the same as in performance test one. The test results are shown in Table 7.

[0122] The test results in Table 7 are similar to those in Table 6, indicating that replacing acridine ester with NSP-DMAE-NHS results in the blue light absorber having a similar effect.

[0123] Performance Test 3: Project Luminescence Test

[0124] NSP-DMAE-NHS was labeled onto the PIVKA-II antibody, and another paired antibody was coated onto magnetic beads. The double-antibody sandwich method was used for testing.

[0125] Samples containing different concentrations of PIVKA-II were prepared. 50 μL of each sample was added to 100 μL of magnetic beads coated with PIVKA-II antibody (concentration 0.2 mg / mL), followed by 50 μL of acridine-labeled PIVKA-II antibody (200 ng / mL). The mixture was incubated at 37°C for 10 min. Then, magnetic separation was performed, followed by washing three times. Finally, 100 μL of sodium hydroxide solution and 100 μL of hydrogen peroxide solution prepared in Examples 1-6 and Comparative Examples 1-3 were added respectively, and the luminescence value was measured. Three parallel measurements were performed, and the average value was taken. The results are shown in Table 8.

[0126] Table 8

[0127]

[0128] As shown in Table 8, the luminescence values ​​of Examples 1, 2, and 3, which had blue light absorbers added, were all lower than those of Comparative Examples 1, 2, and 3, which did not have blue light absorbers added. Since the luminescence value is also high (equivalent to CAL4 and CAL3) when the acridinium ester concentration is high, the decrease in luminescence value for samples with high luminescence values ​​is basically the same for both. Therefore, the CAL4 / CAL3 values ​​of Examples 1-6 (with added blue light absorbers) and Comparative Examples 1-3 (without added blue light absorbers) are both around 6, indicating that the blue light absorber cannot change the signal-to-noise ratio of medium-to-high value samples.

[0129] For samples with low acridine ester concentrations (CAL1 and CAL2), the luminescence values ​​of Examples 1, 2, and 3, which added blue light absorbers, all showed varying degrees of decrease compared to Comparative Examples 1, 2, and 3 without added blue light absorbers. Since the decrease in luminescence value was greater for CAL2 than for CAL3, and even greater for CAL1 than for CAL2, the CAL3 / CAL2 and CAL2 / CAL1 ratios of Examples 1, 2, and 3 all showed varying degrees of increase compared to Comparative Examples 1, 2, and 3 without added blue light absorbers. This indicates that the addition of blue light absorbers can improve the signal-to-noise ratio of low to medium concentration samples.

[0130] Using substrate solutions with different formulations, there are components that increase luminescence value as well as components that decrease luminescence value. By optimizing and adjusting the amount of each component, it is possible to obtain results with a high signal-to-noise ratio while improving luminescence value.

[0131] Performance Test 4: Project Luminescence Test

[0132] NSP-SA-NHS was labeled onto a PIC antibody, and another paired antibody was coated onto a magnetic bead. The test was performed using a double-antibody sandwich methodology.

[0133] Samples containing different concentrations of PIC were prepared. 20 μL of each sample was added to 50 μL of magnetic beads coated with PIC antibody (concentration 0.2 mg / mL), followed by 50 μL of acridine-labeled PIC antibody (400 ng / mL). The mixture was incubated at 37°C for 10 min. Then, magnetic separation was performed, followed by washing three times. Finally, 100 μL of sodium hydroxide solution and 100 μL of hydrogen peroxide solution prepared in Examples 1-6 and Comparative Examples 1-3 were added, and the luminescence value was measured. Three parallel measurements were performed, and the average value was taken. The results are shown in Table 9.

[0134] Table 9

[0135]

[0136] The test results in Table 9 are similar to those in Table 8, indicating that when acridine ester is replaced with NSP-SA-NHS for different test items, the blue light absorber plays a similar role.
