Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to the field of in vitro diagnostic technology, specifically to a multimodal neurological disease diagnostic chip and method based on spatiotemporally controllable immune responses. Background Technology
[0002] While existing immunoassay technologies are widely used in clinical diagnosis, they still have some significant limitations that restrict their application in more efficient and accurate detection. For example, the traditional enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) technology suffers from insufficient sensitivity, with a detection limit typically of 50 pg / mL, which cannot meet the demand for high-sensitivity detection of low-concentration biomarkers. In addition, the ELISA testing process is lengthy, usually requiring more than 4 hours, making it difficult to meet the clinical needs for rapid diagnosis. Furthermore, the antibodies have poor specificity and a high cross-reactivity rate (over 8%), which further affects the accuracy and reliability of the test results. Therefore, existing technologies have significant shortcomings in terms of sensitivity, speed, and specificity. Furthermore, existing multi-indicator detection technologies often rely on complex and expensive equipment, such as electrochemiluminescence analyzers. These devices are not only costly, with each test typically costing around 200 yuan, but also complex to operate, making it difficult to meet the immediate and convenient needs of point-of-care testing. With the continuous advancement of medical diagnostic technology, there is an urgent need to develop a new diagnostic platform that combines the advantages of high sensitivity, low cost, and rapid detection, while also exhibiting good antibody specificity. In addition, current technologies have not yet achieved dynamic control of the detection process and fusion analysis of multi-omics data, lacking the ability to comprehensively analyze complex biological information. Therefore, there is an urgent need to develop a more advanced multimodal diagnostic platform that can achieve more accurate and efficient detection to better serve clinical needs.

The size and distribution uniformity of the gold nanoparticles are optimized to maximize the SPR effect and improve the stability and sensitivity of the fluorescence signal. SPR enhances fluorescence signal by 18.5 times.
[0007] According to the above technical solution, the density and distribution of gold nanoparticles deposited on the surface of the nitrocellulose membrane can be adjusted according to different detection requirements.
[0008] According to the above technical solution, the intelligent temperature control system monitors the internal temperature changes of the chip in real time through a built-in temperature sensor and automatically adjusts the temperature according to the needs of the immune response. The temperature control system uses intelligent algorithms to precisely regulate the temperature at different detection stages, ensuring that the immune response takes place within the optimal temperature range, thereby improving detection sensitivity and accuracy. By working in conjunction with other modules on the chip, the intelligent temperature control system can automatically start or stop the heating function according to actual needs, achieving energy saving and efficient control.
[0009] According to the above technical solution, the intelligent temperature control system further includes a heating unit, a cooling unit, and a temperature feedback adjustment unit, which can intelligently adjust the heating and cooling mechanisms according to the temperature control requirements of each detection module in the chip. The heating unit uses high-efficiency thermoelectric materials, which can provide a uniform and stable temperature in a short time; The cooling unit uses miniature cooling components, which can rapidly reduce the temperature of the chip surface to prevent excessively high temperatures from affecting the immune response and the sample. The temperature feedback regulation unit precisely controls the timing of heating and cooling switching by real-time temperature monitoring and combining it with the chip's operating status.
[0010] Based on the above technical solution, the chip can provide effective early warning three years before the onset of Alzheimer's disease by detecting biomarkers related to Alzheimer's disease. According to the above technical solution, the multimodal diagnostic method for neurological diseases based on spatiotemporally controllable immune responses includes the following steps: Step 1: Mix 10 μL of plasma sample with 90 μL of diluent, and then use a microfluidic system to mix them evenly to ensure that the sample and diluent are fully mixed; Step 2: Add the light-controlled antibody-3D probe complex to the mixture and incubate the mixture at 37°C for 5 minutes to ensure that the complex fully binds to and reacts with the target molecule; Step 3: Activate the photocontrolled antibody complex with 365nm light to initiate an immune response. During this process, the conformational change of the antibody triggered by light will enhance the binding ability of the antibody to the target molecule. Step 4: Use 450nm light to terminate the immune reaction, prevent the reaction from continuing and ensure the controllability of the reaction. After the immune reaction is completed, the sample is processed by chromatography for 10 minutes to separate the reaction products and remove unbound substances, thereby further improving the specificity of the detection. Step 5: Perform time-resolved fluorescence detection. Excite the target molecule using 340nm wavelength excitation light and simultaneously measure the fluorescence signals at wavelengths of 545nm, 615nm, and 660nm. Changes in the fluorescence signals can be used as a quantitative basis for the concentration of the target molecule. Step 6: Input the collected multi-omics data into the AI system for analysis. The AI system, based on fluorescence signals and other detection results, combined with big data analysis and algorithm models, performs comprehensive analysis on the data of different biomarkers and finally outputs diagnostic results.

The system's ultra-sensitive detection performance increases the detection limit of traditional methods by 5000 times (GFAP can reach 0.01 pg / mL), significantly enhancing the detection capability for low-concentration biomarkers and achieving earlier, more accurate diagnosis. Finally, the world's first intelligent microfluidic system integrating light control, temperature control, and flow control not only improves detection efficiency but also ensures precise control of the immune response, signal enhancement, and biomarker separation processes, greatly improving the standardization and consistency of diagnosis. Simultaneously, the detection sensitivity and accuracy of neurological disease biomarkers are significantly improved. The photocontrolled antibody switch module uses a formula to adjust the affinity constant, making the binding between the antibody and the target molecule precise and controllable, avoiding the cross-reaction problem in traditional detection, and improving the specificity of the immune response. The signal enhancement factor formula of the three-dimensional fluorescent probe greatly enhances the fluorescence signal through the synergistic effect of gold nanoparticles, which can effectively detect low concentrations of biomarkers and greatly improve the detection sensitivity. The intelligent temperature control system ensures that the immune response takes place within the optimal temperature range by precisely adjusting the temperature, further improving the accuracy and stability of the reaction. The application of the time-resolved fluorescence detection formula makes the relationship between the fluorescence signal and the concentration of the target molecule more accurate, providing reliable quantitative analysis. The AI analysis system improves the accuracy and intelligence of early warning by integrating multi-omics data and combining weighted summation, enabling the chip to achieve early and accurate diagnosis of neurological diseases, especially Alzheimer's disease.

8. The diagnostic method for multimodal neurological disease diagnostic chips based on spatiotemporally controllable immune responses according to claim 1, characterized in that, Includes the following steps: Step 1: Mix 10 μL of plasma sample with 90 μL of diluent, and then use a microfluidic system to mix them evenly to ensure that the sample and diluent are fully mixed; Step 2: Add the light-controlled antibody-3D probe complex to the mixture and incubate the mixture at 37°C for 5 minutes to ensure that the complex fully binds to and reacts with the target molecule; Step 3: Activate the photocontrolled antibody complex with 365nm light to initiate an immune response. During this process, the conformational change of the antibody triggered by light will enhance the binding ability of the antibody to the target molecule. Step 4: Use 450nm light to terminate the immune reaction, prevent the reaction from continuing and ensure the controllability of the reaction. After the immune reaction is completed, the sample is processed by chromatography for 10 minutes to separate the reaction products and remove unbound substances, thereby further improving the specificity of the detection. Step 5: Perform time-resolved fluorescence detection. Excite the target molecule using 340nm wavelength excitation light and simultaneously measure the fluorescence signals at wavelengths of 545nm, 615nm, and 660nm. Changes in the fluorescence signals can be used as a quantitative basis for the concentration of the target molecule. Step 6: Input the collected multi-omics data into the AI system for analysis. The AI system, based on fluorescence signals and other detection results, combined with big data analysis and algorithm models, performs comprehensive analysis on the data of different biomarkers and finally outputs diagnostic results.
