Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to the field of biological detection, specifically a tyramine signal amplification kit. Background Technology
[0002] In the field of disease diagnosis, the detection and analysis of biomarkers in target cells with high specificity and sensitivity are of great significance. Fluorescence analysis methods have extremely high spatiotemporal resolution, enabling the effective detection of biomolecules such as nucleic acids and proteins in target cells, and have a wide range of biomedical applications. However, the concentrations of certain disease-related biomolecules (such as circulating epithelial cells, circulating endothelial cells, immune cells, and other tumor biomarkers) in organisms are very low, and conventional fluorescence detection techniques cannot accurately analyze them. Therefore, there is still a need to design and construct fluorescent biosensors with better selectivity and higher sensitivity.
[0003] Currently, fluorescent antibodies used for immunofluorescence detection generally have low detection sensitivity, especially when used for fluorescence microscopy scanning analysis. For some samples with low expression levels, conventional fluorescent antibodies are difficult to detect.
[0004] Tyramine signal amplification (TSA) is an enzyme-mediated amplification technique. In the presence of hydrogen peroxide, horseradish peroxidase (HRP) catalyzes the conversion of tyramine into oxygen-reactive free radicals. This intermediate can rapidly covalently bind to proteins or HRP-linked antibodies. A fluorescent dye is then bound to the tyramine molecule, forming a covalent binding site, thereby stably and efficiently enriching the fluorescein around and depositing it onto the target cell, resulting in a geometric amplification of the detection signal. However, the detection sensitivity of the currently used fluorescent substrate TSA-FITC (FITCT) is still relatively low, requiring further improvement. This is mainly because the fluorescence signal intensity of FITC fluorescein itself is insufficient. Other fluoresceins such as Alexa Fluor488, Dylight488, and iFluor488 are available, but these are all imported reagents, resulting in higher costs. Summary of the Invention

[0025] On the other hand, the present invention provides a method for detecting a target in a sample, wherein the method includes the following steps: (i) Sealing the sample: Take the sample to be tested, add sealing agent, incubate, and obtain the sealed sample; (ii) Antibody incubation: Mix the enzyme-labeled antibody with the blocked sample obtained in step (i) and incubate to obtain an antibody-sample complex solution.

[0026] In some embodiments, the sample is a sample containing cells or cell debris; the concentration of the fluorescent substrate having the structure of Formula I or Formula II or its stereoisomer is 0.15 μg / mL to 2.5 μg / mL.
[0027] In some embodiments, the targets that can be detected by the kit or method are peptides, nucleic acids, carbohydrates, lipids or their derivatives, molecular complexes, particles, eukaryotic or prokaryotic cells or microorganisms.
[0028] In some embodiments, the sample may be a biological sample, an environmental sample, or a chemical sample.
[0029] In some embodiments, the target or sample may be fixed to a solid support.
[0030] In some embodiments, the detection of deposited compounds may include an enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) step. In one embodiment, the method is used for immunohistochemical detection of a target. The method can be performed manually, automatically, or semi-automatically. The methods of the present invention can be successfully plasticized with many of the different reporter molecules described herein, retaining their advantageous characteristics such as detection speed, sensitivity, and specificity.
[0031] In one embodiment, the peroxidase portion is a part of HRP; for example, the whole HRP molecule is a fragment capable of having HRP enzymatic activity, or it can be a recombinant protein containing the enzymatically active portion of HRP, etc. In another embodiment, the peroxidase can be soybean peroxidase.
[0032] The site of the solid support containing peroxidase activity is referred to herein as a "target site". In one embodiment, the target site contains peroxidase activity, such as a portion of peroxidase directly immobilized on or within the solid support. In another embodiment, the target site contains peroxidase activity indirectly immobilized on or within the solid support, i.e., a portion of the peroxidase is linked to a binding agent capable of directly or indirectly binding to a target immobilized on or within the solid support. A robust support is provided. The latter is a non-limiting example of a target site of the present invention.
[0033] The method of the present invention can be performed in a variety of assay formats. The above-described compositions and methods can be used to detect target molecules comprising cell suspensions in any suitable assay format, such as flow cytometry (FC), ELISA, immunocytochemistry (IHC), or in situ hybridization (ISH). In one embodiment, the biological sample can be a cell suspension. FC, ELISA, IHC, or ISH can be used to detect target molecules or cellular structures in the suspension. When using ELISA, IHC, or ISH, the cells in the suspension are attached to a solid support, such as an ELISA plate or an IHC slide. In another embodiment, the biological sample can be a section of body tissue. IHC or ISH is typically used to detect target molecules or cellular structures in such samples.
[0034] IHC and ISH assays typically require a series of processing steps on tissue sections mounted on suitable solid supports for microscopic examination or the creation of photomicrographs, such as on slides or other planar supports, to highlight certain morphological indicators of disease states or biomarkers through selective staining. Therefore, in IHC, for example, samples are taken from individuals, fixed, and exposed to antibodies that specifically bind to the biomarkers of interest.
[0035] Histological samples can be preparations containing fresh tissue and / or cells, typically not fixed with aldehyde fixatives, or fixed and embedded tissue specimens, usually archived material. A pre-detection procedure will be performed before the target assay is performed in the form of an IHC assay. It may involve the following steps: cutting and trimming tissue, fixation, dehydration, paraffin infiltration, thin-section cutting, mounting onto a glass slide, baking, deparaffining, fluid replenishment, antigen retrieval, blocking step, application of primary antibody, washing, application of secondary antibody-enzyme conjugate, and washing.
[0036] In ISH, samples are taken from individuals, fixed, and exposed to a nucleic acid binding agent that hybridizes with the nucleic acid of interest through complementary base pairing. Biological samples typically contain detectable nucleic acids, such as DNA and RNA, including messenger RNA. Detection of DNA / RNA levels can indicate the expression level of a specific gene and can therefore be used to detect the condition of cells, tissues, organs, or organisms (e.g., disease conditions). The nucleic acids in the sample are typically denatured to expose binding sites. The binding agent is usually a double-stranded or single-stranded nucleic acid, such as DNA or RNA, or a nucleic acid analog, such as PNA. The amount of the relevant target protein or nucleic acid detected by such techniques is then assessed to determine whether it is above a predetermined minimum threshold or compared to known standards, thus determining its diagnostic relevance. If necessary, appropriate treatment can be planned for the individual.
[0037] Many methods for fixing and embedding tissue specimens are known, such as alcohol fixation and formalin fixation followed by paraffin embedding (FFPE). Fixatives are needed to preserve cells and tissues in a reproducible and realistic manner. For this purpose, tissue blocks, sections, or smears are immersed in a fixative solution, or, in the case of smears, dried. Fixatives stabilize cells and tissues, thus protecting them from the effects of harsh handling and staining techniques.
[0038] Any suitable fixative can be used, such as ethanol, acetic acid, picric acid, 2-propanol, 3,3'-diaminobenzidine tetrahydrochloride dihydrate, acetoin (a mixture of monomers) and dimers, acrolein, crotonaldehyde, formaldehyde, glutaraldehyde, glyoxal, potassium dichromate, potassium permanganate, osmium tetroxide, paraformaldehyde, mercuric chloride, toluene-2,4-diisocyanate, trichloroacetic acid, and tungstic acid. Other examples include formalin (aqueous formaldehyde solution) and neutral buffered formalin (NBF), glutaraldehyde, acrolein, carbodiimide, imine salts, benzoquinone, osmium tetroxide, and osmium tetroxide.
[0039] Fresh biopsy specimens, cytological specimens (including touch specimens and blood smears), frozen sections, and tissues used for immunohistochemical analysis are typically fixed in organic solvents, including ethanol, acetic acid, methanol, and / or acetone.
