Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The present invention relates to the field of biotechnology, and particularly to an antigen preparation for comprehensive detection of fish allergy and a preparation method thereof. Background Art
[0002] Allergic diseases have been listed by the World Health Organization (WHO) as one of the three major diseases to be prioritized for prevention and treatment in the 21st century. It is estimated using data from 89 countries that more than 250 million people are affected globally. Common food allergies are mainly caused by milk, eggs, nuts, peanuts, soybeans, wheat, sesame, fish, and shellfish. Among them, fish is one of the most common foods causing allergic reactions in children and adults globally, and only a few cases of fish allergy tend to subside with age. It is reported that the number of deaths due to fish allergy accounts for 9% of the deaths from allergic reactions.
[0003] Currently, in the treatment of fish allergy, there is a need to solve the problem of incomplete recognition of fish allergens and the lack of component discrimination diagnosis of fish allergens in the clinical environment. Based on the fact that the research focus on fish allergens has been limited to parvalbumin, more research is needed to understand the involvement of other fish allergens, as well as several other strategies for allergen-specific immunotherapy (AIT), including peptide vaccines, DNA vaccines, mixed allergens, and the use of nanobodies with the ability to treat multiple allergens. The clinical diagnosis of fish allergy requires the use of whole extracts, and there is an urgent need to develop more sensitive fish antigen preparations for the diagnosis of fish allergy patients.
[0004] "Antigen preparation" refers to any substance component that can produce an antigenic or immunogenic response. Detailed sensitization characteristics can improve the effectiveness of immunotherapy and can be used in precision medicine. Currently, the main cost factor in allergic disease management is unrecognized and untreated allergic diseases. To ensure the best diagnostic and treatment effects, it is particularly important to develop antigen preparations containing as many allergens as possible.
[0005] Indonesian scientists Wijaya et al. prepared a skin prick test reagent for myofibrillar protein and sarcoplasmic protein of Scylla Serrata. The results showed that separating crab protein into myofibrillar and sarcoplasmic proteins for skin prick test could improve the sensitivity and specificity of allergy diagnosis. Polish scientists Cukrowska et al. conducted a randomized placebo-controlled trial on children with atopic dermatitis (AD) and cow's milk protein (CMP) allergy using a probiotic preparation containing a mixture of Lactobacillus rhamnosus O900, Lactobacillus rhamnosus O908, and Lactobacillus casei O918 strains. The research results showed that the mixture of probiotic strains provided benefits for children with AD and CMP allergies. Egyptian scientists Mohammed et al. extracted allergens from pollen, animal emissions, and mites to prepare a preparation for sublingual immunotherapy and analyzed it by storing it at 2 - 104 °C for 9 months. The results showed that the concentration of all prepared allergens (indicated by the concentration of protein content) decreased exponentially over time. The above research provided guidance for the effectiveness of protein preparations.
[0006] Currently, the most commonly used method is to use enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) to determine the content of allergens in target foods. Australian researchers Ruethers et al. used three commercially available ELISA kits to detect 57 species of teleost fish, and the detection rates ranged from 26% to 61%. The fish species with the highest detection rates included carp, cod, and salmon, indicating that the ability of fish ELISA kits to detect allergens in fish is limited. Currently, the application of LC-MS / MS in food allergen analysis is still relatively new, and complex separation, purification, and degradation are required during the protein identification process of LC-MS. To avoid these, matrix-assisted laser desorption / ionization time-of-flight (MALDI-TOF) is used to analyze the initially intact protein. MALDI-TOF MS is an analytical technique that measures it based on its mass-to-charge ratio (m / z) and intensity. Summary of the Invention
[0007] The purpose of the present invention is to develop an antigen preparation for comprehensive detection of fish allergy, aiming to provide a new prospect for effective, safe, and convenient allergy disease testing, and is expected to play an important role in the diagnosis of allergic diseases, especially in the prevention and treatment of fish allergic diseases.

After 12 h, add 20 μL of blocking solution (5% (m / m) BSA, 10 mM PBS, 0.05% Tween 20, pH 7.4) and continue to incubate (6 h, 25 °C, 850 rpm). After the incubation, collect the blocked anti-IgE-coated magnetic bead microspheres as functionalized magnetic beads.

The average mass spectrum obtained is as Figure 1 (A) shown.
[0063] Example 7: Enzymatic digestion and identification of allergens
[0064] 1. 1 μL of the eluate collected in the above steps was taken, and its absorbance at a wavelength of 280 nm was measured in an ultra-micro spectrophotometer, and the measurement was repeated five times and the average value was taken.
[0065] 2. Substitute into the regression equation a = 0.275ρB + 0.166 to calculate the relative concentration of the protein in the eluate, where a is the measured absorbance and ρB is the protein concentration (mg / mL). Trypsin (protein / trypsin = 30:1, w / w) was added to the eluate for incubation (600 rpm, 37 °C, 1 h).
[0066] 3. After the incubation, the digest was analyzed by matrix-assisted laser desorption ionization time-of-flight mass spectrometry (MALDI-TOF MS). The average mass spectrum of the enzymatic fingerprint peptide segments obtained is as Figure 1 (B) shown.
[0067] 4. Use the UniProt database (https: / / www.uniprot.org) to retrieve proteins, assign measured ion peaks, and identify allergens captured by MBs. Perform mass spectrometry analysis on the protein and trypsin-digested mass spectrometry spectra using Bruker's FlexAnalysis software and the FindMod tool (https: / / expasy.org / ) provided by the Swiss Institute of Bioinformatics (SIB) on the Proteomics Server ExPASy (Expert Protein Analysis System). Identify peaks by matching the experimentally measured peptide masses with the masses of theoretical peptides calculated from specific Swiss Prot / TrEMBL entries.
[0068] Example 8: Establish a crucian carp allergen database
[0069] Potential allergens identified from the average mass spectrometry and peptide fingerprint spectra are used as almost all potential allergens representing the species, and an allergen library is established based on this. The specific allergen information is shown in Table 1. Among them, the peak resolution of all mass spectra used for averaging is greater than 10,000, and the mass accuracy is greater than 1‰. The coverage rate of the peptide segments in the established allergen library is calculated with reference to the entire amino acid sequence of the protein in the Uniprot database.

Determine the parvalbumin content in the antigen preparation according to the instructions of the specific parvalbumin ELISA kit (96T, Oumarsi Biotechnology Co., Ltd., Shanghai, China). The measured parvalbumin standard curve is as Figure 2 shown, where the detected parvalbumin concentration in the antigen preparation is 5.4 μg / mL, equivalent to an equivalent content of 27 mg / kg in muscle.
[0075] Example 10: In vitro allergy detection
[0076] The specific steps for in vitro allergy detection are as follows:
[0077] 1. Screen the serum samples of different volunteers and group them for numbering. The screened sera are as follows: Degree of fish allergy: moderate allergy (test serum 6), severe allergy (test serum 7).
[0078] Degree of non - fish allergy: mango allergy (test serum 8), crab allergy (test serum 9), normal person (test sera 10 - 13).
[0079] 2. Use the above sera for in vitro allergy testing. The eluates obtained from the allergy testing are subjected to MALDI - TOF MS detection and compared with the established database. The results obtained are as Figure 3 shown.

Compared with the control group and the blank group, it shows the sensitivity and effectiveness of the antigen preparation, and can greatly reduce the false negative rate and false positive rate.

The method for establishing a crucian carp allergen database based on microfluidic chip and MALDI-TOF MS according to claim 8, characterized in that: The step 2 includes the following steps: after calibrating the MALDI-TOF MS instrument, take 1.5 μL of the eluent onto a MALDI target plate (MSP 96 target plate) and wait for it to air dry and deposit naturally. Then, the matrix for analyzing the protein is used for overlaying, and 1 μL of sinapinic acid (SA) (15 mg / mL, acetonitrile / water / trifluoroacetic acid (TFA) = 500:499:1, v / v) is overlaid on the eluent and calibration, and 1 μL of α-cyano-4-hydroxycinnamic acid (10 mg / mL, acetonitrile / water / trifluoroacetic acid (TFA) = 500:499:1, v / v) is overlaid on the trypsin digest. A mass spectrum with an m / z range of 2000-20000 Da is obtained under positive ion mode and linear conditions. The spectra generated by 500 laser irradiations were summed using the automatic sample acquisition mode, with a laser frequency of 20 Hz, a laser intensity of 65%, a detector gain of 10.3×, and at least 6 target points were set for each sample to obtain 6 mass spectra.
11. The method for establishing a crucian carp allergen database based on microfluidic chip and MALDI-TOF MS according to claim 8, characterized in that: Step 3 includes the following steps: Searching for proteins using the UniProt database (https: / / www.uniprot.org), assigning measured ion peaks, and identifying allergens captured by MBs. Mass spectrometry analysis of proteins and trypsin digest mass spectra was performed using Bruker's FlexAnalysis software and the FindMod tool (https: / / expasy.org / ) provided by the Swiss Institute of Bioinformatics (SIB) in the proteomics server ExPASy (Expert Protein Analysis System). Peak identification was performed by matching the experimentally measured peptide masses with the masses of theoretical peptides calculated from specific SwissProt / TrEMBL entries.
12. A method as claimed in claim 1 capable of eluting and collecting as many allergens as possible from a single species, wherein the database of crucian carp allergens is established based on microfluidic chips and MALDI-TOF MS technology.
