Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention belongs to the field of biomolecule preparation and biomedical detection technology, specifically relating to a natural neutrophil apolipoprotein dimer and its preparation method. Background Technology

[0002] Human neutrophil lipoprotein (HNL, also known as Lipocalin-2 or NGAL) is a protein secreted by neutrophils. It is involved in lipid metabolism, bacterial growth inhibition, and tissue repair, and has the potential to act as a biomarker in diseases such as infection, acute kidney injury, and cancer. HNL is a secretory glycosylated protein composed of 198 amino acids, with a 20-amino acid signal peptide sequence at its N-terminus. The mature protein contains 178 amino acids. HNL exists in various molecular forms, including monomers, homodimers, and heterodimers. Different molecular forms of HNL are associated with different pathological processes. For example, monomers may have a relatively high correlation with acute kidney injury, homodimers have high specificity and sensitivity in distinguishing between bacterial and viral infections, and heterodimers may be associated with tumor invasion.

[0003] Existing technologies have developed kits for detecting various diseases based on human neutrophil apolipoproteins as biomarkers. However, the yield of recombinant protein dimers prepared using genetic engineering recombination technology is low, and the structure of the obtained recombinant protein dimers differs from that of the natural protein. This leads to significant deviations in the development of neutrophil apolipoprotein detection kits, including antibody preparation, calibrators, and quality control materials, resulting in low clinical concordance. Furthermore, methods that obtain protein dimers by isolating and lysing leukocytes from human peripheral blood, followed by ion chromatography and molecular sieve chromatography, involve complex extraction and purification processes, have limited access to raw blood, and result in wasted blood resources. Summary of the Invention

Take an appropriate amount of monoclonal antibody and centrifuge it at 6000 rpm for 6-10 min using an ultrafiltration concentration tube to concentrate it to a protein concentration of 5-10 mg / mL. Then, add 3 times the volume of the concentration solution of 0.1 M NaHCO3 / 0.5 M NaCl, pH 8.5 coupling buffer to resuspend the antibody in the concentration tube, centrifuge it at 6000 rpm for 6-10 min, and concentrate it to a protein concentration of 5-10 mg / mL. Determine the protein content using ultraviolet spectrophotometry, with a concentration of 5-10 mg / mL.

[0047] The steps for preparing the monoclonal antibody are as follows: Accurately weigh 1g of cyanogen bromide-activated 4B resin powder into a 100mL beaker, add 50mL of pre-cooled 1mM HCl solution to swell the cyanogen bromide-activated 4B resin powder for 30min; remove the supernatant, and wash three times with 50mL of pre-cooled 1mM HCl solution to obtain 4-5mL of swollen gel. Wash with 50mL of water for injection, repeat twice, discard the water for injection, and then wash once with 5mL of 0.1M NaHCO3 / 0.5M NaCl, pH 8.5 coupling buffer to obtain the washed resin. Add the buffer containing anti-neutrophil apolipoprotein monoclonal antibody to the washed resin and mix at room temperature for 2h (or mix overnight at 2-8℃).

Repeat the washing cycle 4 times.

[0048] If to be used immediately, equilibrate with 50 mL of 0.01 M PBS buffer (pH 7.2); otherwise, store for long-term preservation in a solution containing 0.01 M PBS buffer (pH 7.2) and 0.1% NaN3.

[0049] S2, remove the affinity chromatography column, let it stand at room temperature for 30 min, and equilibrate 5 column volumes with 0.02M NaH2PO4, pH 8.0 solution.

[0050] S3. Load the collected anion flow-through solution onto the column. After loading, equilibrate with 0.02M NaH2PO4 and PB buffer (pH 8.0) to obtain the affinity chromatography column flow-through solution.

[0057] Note: Formula for calculating the uncertainty of the absolute deviation assignment:

[0058] 6.1.2 The average value of 40 concentration values ​​obtained from 5 experiments at 2 concentration points, 0.1998 mg / mL, was taken as the concentration value of the calibrator concentrate (natural neutrophil apolipoprotein dimer from Example 5). Wherein, Represents uncertainty. Represents the number of tests. Representing the 1st to The results of this test .

[0059] 6.1.3 Calculate the uncertainty of antigen determination Its expanded uncertainty is ( k =2), U A The uncertainty is 0 for certified reference materials. Neutrophil apolipoprotein has no certified reference material. U B To assign uncertainty, U C This represents the system uncertainty (primarily the preparation uncertainty, typically defined as 0.05%). U 1 =0.2907%, therefore The concentration of the neutrophil apolipoprotein antigen concentrate was 0.1998 ± 0.0012 (mg / mL).

[0060] 6.2 Preparation and Traceability of Enterprise Product Calibrators 6.2.1 Dilute the stock solution of neutrophil apolipoprotein (with a concentration of 0.1998 mg / mL assigned by the selected measurement program) with detection buffer to prepare calibrators at various concentration points S1 (1000 ng / mL), S2 (500 ng / mL), S3 (250 ng / mL), S4 (125 ng / mL), S5 (63 ng / mL), and S6 (31 ng / mL) as calibrators for the company's products.

[0061] 6.2.2 Traceability of Enterprise Product Calibration Materials The company's product calibrators were tested using the company's standard measurement procedures. The curves of the company's working calibrators were used to read the calibrators. Each product calibrator was measured five times. The deviation of the fitted concentration was required to be within ±10%, and the coefficient of variation (CV) should not exceed 12.0%. The test results are shown in Table 11.

[0062] Table 11 Fitting Concentration Results of Calibrator Samples for Enterprise Products at Various Points

[0063] The deviations in the fitted concentrations of the company's product calibrators all meet the requirements, and the intra-batch variation at each point is no greater than 12.0%.

[0064] 6.2.3 Value setting of enterprise product calibrators The test was repeated twice using a detection system consisting of the company's working calibrator and the company's established measurement procedures. A curve was plotted using the company's working calibrator. Five replicates were performed for each test, and the company's product calibrator was tested a total of 10 times. The average value at each point was taken as the target value of the company's product calibrator. The results are shown in Table 12.

The results were compared with those from a detection system consisting of the company's working calibrators and standard measurement procedures. The linearity of the company's product calibrators was assessed based on the results, requiring a correlation coefficient greater than 0.975 and a slope of 1 ± 0.05. The test results are shown in Table 13.

[0069] Table 13 Interchangeability verification of enterprise product calibrators (results from 25 clinical samples)

[0070] The correlation between the detection results from the two systems described above was calculated using regression analysis. The correlation coefficient was obtained as R. 2 =0.967, the correlation curve is as follows Figure 2 As shown.

[0071] Depend on Figure 2 It can be seen that the correlation coefficient R between the two is... 2 A value exceeding 0.975 allows for analysis using linear regression, and the slope of the two test results is 0.966, indicating that their test results for the samples are very close. Calibration using the company's product calibrators makes the results of users' routine measurement procedures comparable to those of the company's established measurement procedures, thus achieving the transfer of measurement values.
