Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The present application relates to the technical field of biological detection, more particularly, to a high-expression-based CRM197 protein specificity neutralization detection method. BACKGROUND

[0002] CRM197 protein is obtained by culturing Corynebacterium diphtheriae in a suitable culture medium, producing protein through fermentation, and then centrifuging, filtering and purifying. Quality control of the bacterial strain is required during the culture process, including culture characteristics, staining microscopy, biochemical response, and specificity neutralization control. The current specificity neutralization test uses a method of recovering the bacterial strain and inoculating it in Lysenko's medium for 3-7 days, scraping the bacterial body and transferring it to Elek's agar medium and culturing with filter paper containing diphtheria antitoxin for 5-7 days to form a specificity neutralization phenomenon. The process requires sterile wet box culture to prevent contamination of other bacteria on the culture medium and cause the specificity neutralization phenomenon to fail. However, this method has a long detection window period, poor repeatability, and the problem of unclear specificity neutralization phenomenon. Therefore, a detection method for CRM197 specificity neutralization is needed to improve the detection period, specificity neutralization effect, and repeatability of the detection method. SUMMARY
