Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention belongs to the field of viral immunoassay technology and relates to a colloidal gold test strip. Background Technology
[0002] Porcine deltacoronavirus (PDCoV) was first reported in China in 2012. In 2014, the virus was detected in the feces of piglets and sows with diarrhea at a pig farm in Ohio, USA, leading to an outbreak. Subsequently, many countries reported cases caused by PDCoV, causing significant impact and substantial economic losses on the pig farming industry worldwide. There have been reports of human infection. In recent years, most pig-producing provinces in my country have also reported cases, and the number is steadily increasing, seriously threatening the healthy development of my country's pig farming industry. At the same time, the cross-species transmission of PDCoV and its potential public safety risks have attracted global attention. The main source of PDCoV infection in sick and carrier pigs is through the vomit, feces, or other contaminated materials (such as worker clothing, feed, or transport vehicles), either directly or indirectly. Pigs of all ages can be infected, and it often co-infects with other viruses such as PRRSV, PEDV, and TGEV. The virus spreads very rapidly. Infected suckling piglets will suddenly become ill, causing symptoms such as acute diarrhea and vomiting, leading to rapid dehydration and ultimately death from organ failure. According to incomplete statistics, the morbidity and mortality rates can be as high as 50%-100%. Application CN120446481A discloses a liquid-phase protein chip method for simultaneously detecting three porcine coronaviruses. Although this method can quickly detect the virus, it is costly and does not meet the actual needs of pig farms.
[0003] To meet the needs of rapid clinical diagnosis in pig farms, antigen detection technology, primarily immunochromatographic test strips (colloidal gold or fluorescently labeled), has been developed. This method utilizes monoclonal or polyclonal antibodies against PDCoV proteins (such as the N protein) to directly detect viral antigens in feces or intestinal contents, providing results within 10-15 minutes. It is simple to operate, requires no special equipment, and is highly suitable for initial screening in the field. However, its sensitivity is generally lower than qRT-PCR, and false negative results are common. To further improve the sensitivity of the test strips and promote widespread field testing, our research group has conducted in-depth research. A simple, rapid, and highly specific PDCoV detection method is of great significance for the prevention and control of this disease in clinical practice. Summary of the Invention

[0022] Example 1: Screening of antibodies and determination of coating concentration for PDCoV colloidal gold test strips 1. Preliminary screening of antibodies for PDCoV colloidal gold test strips Antibodies were initially screened. The laboratory already possessed four antibodies: Mab 6B7, PDCoV polyclonal antibody, Mab 2E9, and Mab 11E5. These four antibodies were used as probes and bound to colloidal gold. The pH was adjusted first, and then an appropriate amount of antibody was added. The mixture was incubated with shaking for 30 min, followed by the addition of 10% BSA blocking agent and incubation with shaking for another 30 min. Four probe antibodies were prepared: PDCoV N protein (0.2 mg / mL) was drawn onto the T line of the NC membrane, and goat anti-mouse or goat anti-rabbit antibody was drawn onto the C line of the monoclonal antibody. The sample consisted of PDCoV virus solution (10... 8 TCID 50 The viral solution was mixed with different probe antibodies, and the preliminarily prepared test strips were inserted into the different mixtures. The color development results were recorded after ten minutes. A deeper T-line indicated better pairing. The antibody with the deepest T-line was used for subsequent condition optimization. The results are as follows: Figure 1 As shown, by Figure 1 It was found that among the four labeled Mab 2E9, Mab 11E5, Mab 6B7, and PDCoV polyclonal antibodies, the Mab 6B7 antibody showed the best performance in the test strip detection, with its color signal intensity being significantly higher than that of the other antibodies.
[0023] The sequence of the Mab 6B7 antibody was sequenced, and the results are as follows: Mab 6B7 antibody light chain: FR1 amino acid: DVVMTQTPLTLSVTIGQPASISCKSS; FR1 nucleotide:gatgttgtgatgacccagactccactcactttgtcggttaccattggacaaccagcctctatctcttgcaagtcaagt; 1CDR1 amino acid: QSLLYSNGKAY; CDR1 nucleotide: cagagcctcttatatagtaatggaaaagcctat; FR2 amino acid: LNWLLQRPGQSPKRLIY; FR2 nucleotide: ttgaattggttattacagaggccaggccagtctccaaagcgcctaatctat; 2CDR2 amino acids: LVS; CDR2 nucleotide: ctggtgtct; FR3 amino acids: KLDSGVPDRFTGSGSGTDFTLKISRVEAEDLGVYYC; FR3 nucleotides: aaactggactctggagtccctgacaggttcactggcagtggatcaggaacagattttacactgaaaatcagcagagtggaggctgaggatttgggagtttattactgc; 3CDR3 amino acid: VQGTHFPYT; CDR3 nucleotide: gtgcaaggtacacattttccgtacacg; FR4 amino acid: FGGGTKLEIK; FR4 nucleotide: TTCGGAGGGGGGACCAAGCTGGAAATAAAA.

[0027] 2. Selection of PDCoV N protein coating concentration Mab 6B7 was used as a monoclonal antibody bound to colloidal gold. Different concentrations of PDCoV N protein were streaked along the T line, and goat anti-mouse antibody was streaked along the C line. The antibody and probe concentrations were fixed, and the antibody concentration along the C line was also fixed. The T line concentrations were set to 0.01 mg / mL, 0.025 mg / mL, 0.05 mg / mL, 0.1 mg / mL, and 0.2 mg / mL, respectively. PDCoV virus solution (10... 8 TCID 50 The sample and probe antibody were mixed. Different pre-prepared test strips were inserted into the mixture and incubated for 10 min. The color development results were recorded; the darkest T line indicated the best streak concentration, which was used for subsequent condition optimization.
[0028] The results are as follows Figure 2 As shown, by Figure 2It can be seen that among the five T-line concentration gradients set, the colorimetric effect is best when the concentration of PDCoV N protein coated on the detection line is 0.2 mg / mL.
[0029] Example 2: Selection of Mab 6B7 and probe dosage 1. Selection of Mab 6B7 addition amount Mab 6B7 was used as a monoclonal antibody that binds to colloidal gold, and different amounts of antibody were added during probe preparation. 4 μL, 6 μL, 8 μL, 10 μL, and 12 μL of antibody were added to 1 mL of colloidal gold solution, respectively. The amount of probe added, the concentration of antibody at the C-line, and the concentration at the T-line were kept constant. PDCoV virus solution (10... 8 TCID 50 Mix the sample and probe antibody, then insert the preliminarily prepared test strips into the mixture and incubate for 10 min. Record the color development results; the darkest T line indicates the optimal antibody addition. The antibody addition amount with the darkest T line will be used for subsequent condition optimization.
[0030] The results are as follows Figure 3 As shown, by Figure 3 It can be seen that when 8 μL of antibody is added to each milliliter of colloidal gold solution, the T and C lines of the test strip show the best color development effect.
[0031] 2. Selection of Mab 6B7 probe dosage Mab 6B7 was used as the antibody to bind to colloidal gold. 4 μL, 6 μL, 8 μL, 10 μL, and 12 μL of probe were added to 200 μL of sample solution, respectively. PDCoV virus solution (10...) 8 TCID 50 The sample and different amounts of probe were mixed, and the preliminarily prepared test strips were inserted into the mixture and incubated for 10 min. The color development results were recorded. The darkest T line indicates the best amount of probe used. The amount of probe used with the darkest T line was used for subsequent condition optimization.
[0032] The results are as follows Figure 4 As shown, by Figure 4 It is known that using 8 μL of probe yields better results.
[0033] Example 3: Determination of the optimal color development time of colloidal gold and detection of the sensitivity of PDCoV colloidal gold test strips 1. Determining the optimal color development time for colloidal gold Mab 6B7 was used as the antibody to bind to colloidal gold, and a fixed amount of probe antibody was added when preparing the probe. 10 μL of probe was added to 200 μL of sample solution. The preliminarily prepared test strips were inserted into the mixture, and different incubation times were set: 8 min, 10 min, 12 min, and 15 min. The color development results were recorded; the time with the deepest T line indicated the best color development time, and this time was used for subsequent condition optimization.
[0034] The results are as follows Figure 5 As shown, by Figure 5 It can be seen that when the reaction proceeds for 12 minutes, the detection results reach a stable state, at which point the color intensity of both the T line and the C line is significant and stable. Compared with other detection time points, 12 minutes can ensure both detection sensitivity and meet the requirements of rapid diagnosis. Therefore, 12 minutes was ultimately determined to be the optimal detection reaction time.
[0035] 2. Sensitivity detection of PDCoV colloidal gold test strips Using Mab 6B7 antibody as a monoclonal antibody to bind to colloidal gold, a fixed amount of probe antibody was added when preparing the probe. 10 μL of probe was added to 200 μL of sample solution. PDCoV virus solution (10...) 8 TCID 50 Using this as a sample, set different dilution ratios to create a gradient. Fix the probe-antibody mixture and insert the pre-prepared test strips into the mixture. Set the same incubation time of 10 min. Record the color development results, and use the ratio of T color development to NC and positive as the cutoff point, which is also the limit of detection for the lowest antigen amount.
[0036] The results are as follows Figure 6 As shown, by Figure 6 It was found that when the virus was diluted to a maximum of 1:128, the color intensity of the T line on the test strip was lower than that of the negative control. Therefore, the limit of detection for PDCoV virus on this test strip was determined to be a dilution of 1:128. This result indicates that the test strip has high detection sensitivity and can effectively identify low-concentration virus samples.
[0037] Example 4: Specificity detection and clinical sample testing of PDCoV colloidal gold test strips 1. Specific detection of PDCoV using colloidal gold test strips Using Mab 6B7 as the antibody to bind to colloidal gold, a fixed amount of probe antibody was added when preparing the probe. 10 μL of probe antibody was added to 200 μL of sample solution. The amount of probe added, the concentration of antibody at the C-line, and the concentration at the T-line were kept constant. PDCoV virus solution (10... 8 TCID 50Using different viral solutions as samples, PDCoV, PEDV, TGEV, PSV, RV, MRV, and GETV viral solutions were taken respectively, and probe antibodies were fixed and mixed. The preliminarily prepared test strips were then inserted into the mixture. The same incubation time of 10 min was set. The color development results were recorded.
[0038] The results are as follows Figure 7 As shown, by Figure 7 It was found that the test strip only failed to develop color when reacting with PDCoV samples, while the detection lines for other pathogens all showed color. Tests with other viral samples were all negative, fully demonstrating the high specificity of the test strip.
[0039] 2. Clinical sample testing Take a clinical stool sample using a sterile cotton swab, shake it in 1 mL of sample dilution for 10 min, centrifuge at 12000 rpm / min for 10 min, collect the supernatant, and test the clinical sample using the prepared test strip.
[0040] The results are shown in the table below: As shown in the table above, the PDCoV colloidal gold detection method established in this invention has a clinical sample detection accuracy rate of 94.2% using the RT-PCR method.
[0041] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present invention and is not intended to limit the present invention. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc., made within the spirit and principles of the present invention should be included within the protection scope of the present invention.
