Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention belongs to the field of in vitro detection technology, and relates to a respiratory pathogen antigen detection kit based on a triple card and its preparation method. Background Technology
[0002] Respiratory infections are among the leading causes of disease-related morbidity and mortality worldwide. Influenza A virus, influenza B virus, and Mycoplasma pneumoniae are the three main pathogens causing acute respiratory infections. Influenza A virus can be classified into several subtypes based on differences in the structure of its surface hemagglutinin and neuraminidase; currently, the H1N1 and H3N2 subtypes are the most prevalent infecting humans. Influenza B virus is divided into the Victoria and Yamagata lineages, which alternate in circulation. Mycoplasma pneumoniae is one of the most common atypical pathogens, with a relatively mild onset, characterized by a prominent irritating dry cough, which is clearly distinct from the severe symptoms of influenza virus, such as high fever and body aches. However, the clinical symptoms caused by these three pathogens highly overlap, all presenting with fever, cough, and sore throat, and co-infections can occur, making clinical differentiation difficult based solely on symptoms.
[0003] Colloidal gold immunochromatography has become the preferred technology platform for rapid screening in primary healthcare institutions and emergency departments due to its ease of operation, rapid detection, and intuitive result interpretation. In recent years, triplet test kits integrating antigen detection for influenza A virus, influenza B virus, and mycoplasma pneumoniae onto the same test card have been launched on the market. These kits enable simultaneous detection of three pathogens with a single sample addition, significantly improving detection efficiency.
[0004] However, in practical applications, existing triple antigen test kits show significant differences in detection sensitivity between the Victoria and Yamagata lineages of influenza B virus. The root cause of this problem lies in the ongoing antigenic drift of the hemagglutinin protein in the Victoria lineage virus, with the emergence of variants carrying amino acid deletions in recent years. This results in a naturally lower affinity for the detection antibody compared to the Yamagata lineage. This difference in sensitivity between subtypes is particularly pronounced in triple antigen tests. When the detection signal for the Victoria lineage is significantly weaker than that for the Yamagata lineage, interpreters struggle to determine whether the weak signal is a true positive or background interference, leading to difficulties in clinical interpretation and false negative results. Furthermore, the abundant presence of large glycoproteins such as mucin in oropharyngeal swab samples severely interferes with the detection process. Mucin readily adheres to the nitrocellulose membrane during chromatography, clogging the pores and increasing the T-line background, further complicating signal interpretation.
[0005] Therefore, how to eliminate the difference in detection sensitivity between the Victoria and Yamagata subtypes of influenza B virus and effectively reduce the interference of mucin in oropharyngeal swab samples has become a technical problem that urgently needs to be solved in this field. Summary of the Invention
[0006] The purpose of this invention is to provide a respiratory pathogen antigen detection kit and preparation method based on a triple card, in order to solve the risk of false negatives caused by structural defects of the Victoria subtype antigen and background interference caused by mucin in existing triple detection kits, thereby improving the detection sensitivity, result interpretation accuracy and clinical reliability of the kit.
[0007] The technical solution adopted in this invention is: The key features of the respiratory pathogen antigen detection kit based on the triple card are: Three independent detection channels are fixed on the PVC base plate. Each detection channel includes a sample pad, a gold label pad, a reaction membrane coated with detection lines and quality control lines, and an absorbent pad. The sample dispensing holes of the three detection channels are independent of each other. The corresponding gold-labeled pads of the three detection channels are respectively loaded with colloidal gold-labeled influenza A virus antibody 1, colloidal gold-labeled influenza B virus antibody 1, or colloidal gold-labeled mycoplasma pneumoniae antibody 1; The sample pad described above is a glass fiber membrane that has been pre-passivated by impregnation with a basic treatment solution, and then has cross-linked jackfruit lectin fixed on its surface. The jackfruit lectin is pre-treated with galactose for sugar preprotection, then cross-linked with bovine serum albumin to form a covalent cross-linked network fixed on the surface of the sample pad. After elution and activation treatment, its sugar chain binding activity is restored. The basic treatment solution contains bovine serum albumin 10.0 g / L–25.0 g / L, trehalose 30.0 g / L–80.0 g / L, polyvinylpyrrolidone 3.0 g / L–10.0 g / L, Tween 20 1.0 mL / L–5.0 mL / L, preservative 0.2 mL / L–1.0 mL / L, purified water as the solvent, and a pH of 7.3–7.5. The above kit also includes a sample processing solution having the following components: Tris(hydroxymethyl)aminomethane 3.0 g / L–4.2 g / L, sodium chloride 5.0 g / L–6.5 g / L, 3-[(3-cholamidopropyl)dimethylammonium]-1-propanesulfonate 1.8 g / L–2.3 g / L, Tween 80 0.8 mL / L~1.2 mL / L, bovine serum albumin 8.0 g / L~12.0 g / L, trehalose 25.0 g / L~35.0 g / L, polyethylene glycol 0.8 g / L~1.2 g / L, arginine 3.6 g / L~5.0 g / L, histidine 2.8 g / L~4.5 g / L, calcium chloride 0.16 g / L~0.25 g / L, 4-(2-aminoethyl)benzenesulfonyl fluoride hydrochloride 0.1 g / L~0.15 g / L, preservative 0.4 mL / L~0.6 mL / L, pH 6.4~6.6.
[0008] Specifically, the mass ratio of arginine, histidine, and calcium chloride in the above sample processing solution is (20–22.5):(17.5–19):1.
[0009] Furthermore, the corresponding reaction membranes of the three detection channels are respectively equipped with influenza A virus detection lines, influenza B virus detection lines, mycoplasma pneumoniae detection lines, and quality control lines; the influenza A virus detection lines are coated with influenza A virus antibody 2, the influenza B virus detection lines are coated with influenza B virus antibody 2, and the mycoplasma pneumoniae detection lines are coated with mycoplasma pneumoniae antibody 2; the coating concentrations of influenza A virus antibody 2 and influenza B virus antibody 2 are both 0.2 g / L to 0.4 g / L, and the coating concentration of mycoplasma pneumoniae antibody 2 is 0.3 g / L to 0.5 g / L; the influenza A virus antibody 2, influenza B virus antibody 2, and mycoplasma pneumoniae antibody 2 are respectively paired antibodies of influenza A virus antibody 1, influenza B virus antibody 1, and mycoplasma pneumoniae antibody 1.
[0010] The preparation method of the respiratory pathogen antigen detection kit based on the triple card, used to prepare the above-mentioned kit, mainly includes the following steps: S1. Preparation of sample processing solution: Prepare a sample processing solution containing arginine and histidine, and adjust the pH to 6.4-6.6; S2. Preparation of gold-labeled pads: Colloidal gold was synthesized and concentrated. Influenza A virus antibody 1, influenza B virus antibody 1 and mycoplasma pneumoniae antibody 1 were labeled on colloidal gold particles respectively. After blocking, centrifugation, and reconstitution with colloidal gold conjugate diluent, the respective labeled solutions were obtained. They were then sprayed onto glass fiber membranes and dried to obtain gold-labeled pads with three independent detection channels. S3. Preparation of sample pads: The glass fiber membrane is impregnated with the basic treatment solution for pre-passivation; after sugar preprotection treatment of jackfruit lectin and galactose, bovine serum albumin and glutaraldehyde are added to make a cross-linking mixture, which is sprayed onto the pre-passivated glass fiber membrane. After standing for cross-linking, it is then rinsed with elution buffer to activate it. After drying, sample pads with three independent detection channels are obtained. S4. Coating of the reaction membrane: Prepare coating working solutions for influenza A virus antibody 2, influenza B virus antibody 2, mycoplasma pneumoniae antibody 2 and goat anti-mouse IgG polyclonal antibody respectively, and spray them onto the nitrocellulose membrane in sequence to form detection lines and control lines. After drying, a reaction membrane with three independent detection channels is obtained. S5. Assembly of reagent strips: After assembling the sample pads, gold label pads, reaction membranes and absorbent pads of the three independent detection channels, fix them on the same PVC base plate, cut, shell and package them to obtain the above reagent kit. The influenza A virus antibody 2, influenza B virus antibody 2, and mycoplasma pneumoniae antibody 2 mentioned above are paired antibodies of influenza A virus antibody 1, influenza B virus antibody 1, and mycoplasma pneumoniae antibody 1 mentioned above, respectively.
[0011] Furthermore, in step S2 above, the colloidal gold conjugate diluent contains bovine serum albumin 8.0 g / L to 12.0 g / L, trehalose 45.0 g / L to 55.0 g / L, and Tween 20 4.0 mL / L to 6.0 mL / L, and the solvent is PBS buffer with a pH of 7.2 to 7.6.
[0012] Furthermore, in step S2 above, the specific method for labeling the colloidal gold antibody is as follows: Adjust the pH of the concentrated colloidal gold solution to 6.8–7.2 with potassium carbonate solution and let it stand for 5–15 minutes. Add the above-mentioned influenza A virus antibody 1, influenza B virus antibody 1 and mycoplasma pneumoniae antibody 1 to each of them, so that their final concentrations are 0.010 g / L to 0.014 g / L, and let stand for 35 min to 45 min; Add bovine serum albumin to a final concentration of 1.5 g / L to 2.5 g / L, and let stand for 12 to 18 minutes. Centrifuge at 9000 to 11000 r / min and 2 to 8℃ for 35 to 45 minutes, discard the supernatant, and mix the precipitate with the colloidal gold conjugate diluent at a volume ratio of 1:4.5 to 1:5.5.
[0013] Furthermore, in step S3 above, during the cross-linking fixation process, bovine serum albumin is added to a final concentration of 2.0 g / L to 5.0 g / L and glutaraldehyde to a final concentration of 0.5 g / L to 1.0 g / L, and the mixture is allowed to stand at 4℃ to 10℃ for 1 h to 2 h for cross-linking.
[0014] Furthermore, in step S3 above, the conditions for the sugar preprotection treatment are as follows: 1.0 g / L to 1.5 g / L of jackfruit lectin and 9.0 g / L to 18.0 g / L of galactose are incubated in phosphate buffer at 2°C to 8°C for 30 min to 60 min.
[0015] Furthermore, in step S3 above, the elution buffer contains the following components: galactose 9.0 g / L to 18.0 g / L, bovine serum albumin 5.0 g / L, Tween 20 0.5 mL / L, and the solvent is phosphate buffer with a pH of 7.3 to 7.5; the elution activation conditions are: rinsing with the above elution buffer, standing for 5 min to 10 min, and then drying.
[0016] Furthermore, in step S4 above, the coating buffer is PBS buffer of 20 mmol / L to 50 mmol / L, pH 7.2 to 7.6; the coating concentrations of the influenza A virus antibody 2 and influenza B virus antibody 2 are both 0.2 g / L to 0.4 g / L, the coating concentration of the mycoplasma pneumoniae antibody 2 is 0.3 g / L to 0.5 g / L, and the coating concentration of the goat anti-mouse IgG polyclonal antibody is 0.8 g / L to 1.2 g / L.
[0017] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following advantages: The respiratory pathogen antigen detection kit based on a triplet card provided by this invention addresses the dual technical challenges of insufficient sensitivity of influenza B virus Victoria subtype due to HA protein structural defects and severe interference from mucins in oropharyngeal swab samples in existing detection technologies. Through a systematic design from sample processing solution and sample pad to reaction membrane, it achieves efficient detection of three pathogens while significantly improving the detection sensitivity, resistance to mucin interference, and long-term stability of weaker targets. Specific beneficial effects include: First, this invention constructs a conformational compensation scheme based on the synergistic effect of arginine, histidine, and calcium ions, successfully overcoming the key challenge of insufficient detection sensitivity for the Victoria subtype of influenza B virus. This invention integrates the directional hydrogen bonding of the guanidinium group of arginine, the pH-stabilizing function of the imidazole ring of histidine, and the structural rigidity-enhancing effect of calcium ions into a unified whole. This synergistic effect from three dimensions—structural rigidity enhancement, directional conformational compensation, and microenvironmental stabilization—compensates for the local conformational looseness defect caused by amino acid deletion in the Victoria subtype HA protein, restoring its immunoreactivity to a level comparable to the structurally intact Yamagata subtype. The technical solution of this invention fundamentally compensates for the conformational defects of the target antigen, upgrading passive adaptation to active repair, resulting in an order-of-magnitude improvement in the detection sensitivity of the Victoria subtype.
[0018] Secondly, this invention effectively eliminates chromatographic interference from mucin in oropharyngeal swab samples through a complete three-step process: sugar pre-protection, cross-linking fixation, and elution activation of bromelain on the sample pad. The sugar pre-protection step utilizes galactose to occupy the glycan binding sites of the lectin, protecting its essential primary amino groups from glutaraldehyde cross-linking damage. The subsequent elution activation step removes the protective galactose, allowing the lectin's glycan binding activity to be fully restored. This process ensures that the bromelain immobilized on the sample pad can efficiently and specifically capture large mucin molecules in the sample, physically intercepting interference at the start of chromatography, avoiding chromatographic obstruction and signal attenuation caused by lectin inactivation or lack of activation in existing technologies. These three steps are interconnected; the absence of any step will severely reduce anti-interference capability. Their completeness plays an irreplaceable role in ensuring the signal stability of each target under complex sample conditions. For weak targets with already limited detection sensitivity, this anti-interference guarantee is particularly crucial.
[0019] Third, this invention, through the synergistic effect of the sample processing solution and the sample pad, simultaneously achieves targeted enhancement of weak targets and broad-spectrum interception of common interfering substances in the joint detection system, significantly extending the effective usage period of the kit. The combination of arginine and histidine in the sample processing solution not only provides conformational compensation but also exhibits a synergistic protective effect on bioactive components in accelerated stability testing, effectively delaying the degradation of reagent performance. Meanwhile, the functional stability of the sample pad ensured by the lectin immobilization process allows the kit to maintain efficient mucin capture capabilities even after long-term storage, avoiding performance degradation caused by the accumulation of interfering substances.
[0020] In summary, this invention has made systematic technological innovations in three aspects: conformation compensation, interfering substance capture, and microenvironment regulation. Through the synergistic system of arginine, histidine-, and calcium ions, and the organic combination of lectin fixation process, it has successfully solved the two major technical problems of limited sensitivity of Victoria subtype and severe interference from complex samples in existing joint detection technologies. This provides an accurate, reliable, and highly stable technical means for the rapid and simultaneous differential diagnosis of influenza A virus, influenza B virus, and mycoplasma pneumoniae.

[0129] As shown in Table 1, the detection limits for influenza A virus H1N1 in samples 1-3 of the kits in this embodiment are all 1.2 × 10⁻⁶. 1 The TCID50 / mL level was completely consistent with that of commercially available reference standard 1. The detection results of reference standards 1-3 in the kit were comparable to those in the examples, indicating that changes in the combination of arginine and histidine and the buffer system did not affect the detection of H1N1.
[0130] The reagent kit controls 4 and 5 were negative at a dilution of 1:625000, and the limit of detection decreased to 2.4 × 10⁻⁶. 2 The TCID50 / mL concentration represents a sensitivity loss of approximately 20 times compared to the kit sample, indicating that incomplete lectin fixation in the sample pad leads to decreased chromatography efficiency, which in turn affects the sensitivity of influenza A detection.
[0131] 2. Detection limit for influenza A virus H3N2 antigen: Samples positive for influenza A virus H3N2 (known titer) confirmed by nucleic acid testing were serially diluted using a negative oropharyngeal swab matrix. Samples 1-3 from the kit, commercially available control 1, and kit controls 1-5 were tested separately. Results are shown in Table 2.
[0132] Table 2: Results of Detection Limit of Influenza A Virus H3N2 Antigen
[0133] As shown in Table 2, the detection limits of the reagent kit samples 1-3 for influenza A virus H3N2 in this embodiment are consistent with those of the commercially available control 1, which is 1.0 × 10⁻⁶. 1The TCID concentration was 50 / mL, and the colorimetric intensity was no different from that of commercially available reference standard 1. The detection results of reference standards 1-3 in the kit were comparable to those in the examples, indicating that changes in the combination of arginine and histidine, as well as the buffer system, did not affect the detection of H3N2. Reference standards 4 and 5 remained positive ("+") at 250,000-fold dilution, but turned negative at 500,000-fold dilution, with a detection limit of approximately 2.0 × 10⁻⁶. 1 The TCID50 / mL concentration represents approximately two times the sensitivity loss compared to the previous example, further confirming the crucial role of the integrity of the sample pad lectin fixation process in ensuring chromatographic efficiency and detection sensitivity.
[0134] 3. Detection limit of influenza B virus Victoria lineage antigen Positive samples of influenza B virus (Victoria lineage) confirmed by nucleic acid testing (known titer) were serially diluted using a negative oropharyngeal swab matrix. Samples 1-3 from the kit, commercially available control 2, and kit controls 1-5 were used for testing. Results are shown in Table 3.
[0135] Table 3: Results of Detection Limit of Influenza B Virus Victoria Lineage Antigen
[0136] As shown in Table 3, the detection limit for commercially available reference standard 2 against the Victoria lineage of influenza B virus was 5.2 × 10⁻⁶. 2 TCID50 / mL. The detection limits for samples 1 and 2 in the kit of this invention are 5.2 × 10⁻⁶. 1 The TCID50 / mL concentration is an order of magnitude lower than commercially available kits, while increasing sensitivity tenfold; the detection limit for sample 3 in the kit is approximately 6.5 × 10⁻⁶. 1 The TCID50 / mL is also significantly superior to commercially available solutions. This is because the sample processing solution of this invention achieves conformational compensation through the synergistic effect of arginine, histidine, and calcium ions. Specifically, calcium ions can specifically coordinate with glutamic acid and aspartic acid residues on the surface of HA proteins, enhancing protein structural rigidity and compensating for local conformational looseness caused by amino acid deletions. The guanidino group of arginine interacts with the HA protein deletion region through hydrogen bonds, providing directional conformational compensation. The imidazole ring of histidine synergistically stabilizes the protein structure while maintaining the pH microenvironment. These three components work together from three dimensions—enhanced structural rigidity, directional conformational compensation, and microenvironmental stability—significantly improving the immunoreactivity compensation for the Victoria subtype, thus increasing the detection sensitivity for the Victoria subtype.
[0137] The detection limits of reagent kits 1 and 3 were essentially equivalent to those of commercially available reagent kit 2, indicating that the conformational compensation effect disappeared after the absence of arginine and histidine or the change of the buffer system, and the detection sensitivity of the Victoria subtype returned to the level of conventional products. Reagent kit 2 also showed similar detection results to reagent kit 1, indicating that simply increasing the concentration of arginine cannot replace the synergistic function of histidine.
[0138] Reference standard 4 in the kit was negative at all dilutions, while reference standard 5 was only very weakly positive at a 2500-fold dilution, indicating that the integrity of the lectin fixation process in the sample pad is crucial for the detection of the Victoria subtype. The glycan binding sites of jackfruit lectin contain primary amino groups essential for sugar binding. When covalently fixed with glutaraldehyde, the aldehyde group of glutaraldehyde can irreversibly react with the aforementioned primary amino groups, destroying the sugar-binding activity of the lectin. Galactose protects these essential groups by occupying the sugar-binding sites, thereby preventing cross-linking damage; after cross-linking, the protective galactose must be removed by elution to restore the glycan binding activity of the lectin. This demonstrates the irreplaceable nature of the three-step process of sugar pre-protection, glutaraldehyde cross-linking, and elution activation in the sample pad preparation of this invention.
[0139] 4. Detection limit of influenza B virus Yamagata lineage antigen Positive samples of influenza B virus Yamagata lineage (known titer) confirmed by nucleic acid testing were serially diluted using a negative oropharyngeal swab matrix. Samples 1–3 from the kit, commercially available control 2, and kit controls 1–5 were tested separately. Results are shown in Table 4.
[0140] Table 4: Results of Detection Limit of Influenza B Virus Yamagata Lineage Antigen
[0141] As shown in Table 4, the detection limit of commercially available reference standard 2 for influenza B virus Yamagata strain is 1.0 × 10⁻⁶. 1 TCID50 / mL. The detection limits for samples 1 and 2 in the kit of this embodiment are 5.0 × 10⁻⁶. 0 The TCID50 / mL concentration is approximately twice as sensitive as commercially available kits; the detection limit for sample 3 of the kit is comparable to that of commercially available kits.
[0142] The HA protein structure of the Yamagata subtype is intact, lacking the amino acid deletions characteristic of the Victoria subtype. Therefore, it has lower requirements for conformational compensation of arginine, histidine, and calcium ions. The limits of detection (LODs) of kit controls 1–3 are essentially equivalent to those of commercially available control 2, indicating that changes in the arginine and histidine combination and buffer system have minimal impact on the sensitivity of Yamagata subtype detection. Kit controls 4 and 5 become negative at 5000-fold dilution, with a significant decrease in the LOD, demonstrating that the integrity of the sample pad lectin fixation process is equally crucial for Yamagata subtype detection.
[0143] 5. Detection limit of Mycoplasma pneumoniae antigen Samples of Mycoplasma pneumoniae positive (known concentration) confirmed by nucleic acid testing were serially diluted using a negative oropharyngeal swab matrix. Samples 1-3 from the kit, commercially available control 3, and kit controls 1-5 were tested separately. Results are shown in Table 5.
[0144] Table 5: Results of the detection limit determination of Mycoplasma pneumoniae antigen
[0145] As shown in Table 5, the detection limit for commercially available reference standard 3 against Mycoplasma pneumoniae was 1.0 × 10⁻⁶. 4 CFU / mL. Samples 1 and 2 of the kit in this embodiment of the invention were diluted 75,000 times (5.0 × 10⁻⁶). 3 The kit remained positive at CFU / mL, with a detection limit half that of commercially available kits and a sensitivity approximately two times higher. Sample 3 of the kit was borderline at 50,000-fold dilution, with a detection limit of approximately 7.5 × 10⁻⁶. 3 The CFU / mL concentration is also superior to commercially available products.
[0146] The limits of detection (LODs) of reagent kit controls 1 and 2 were essentially equivalent to those of commercially available control 3, indicating that the combination of arginine and histidine does not affect the detection of Mycoplasma pneumoniae. Reagent kit control 3 became negative at a dilution of 37,500 times, with a LOD of approximately 1.5 × 10⁻⁶. 4 The sensitivity decreased at CFU / mL, indicating that changes in the buffer system affect the stability of Mycoplasma pneumoniae antigen release. Kit controls 4 and 5 became negative at 12500-fold dilution, with a significant decrease in the detection limit. The reason is consistent with Tables 3 and 4: lectin inactivation prevents the capture of mucin, hindering chromatography and thus affecting Mycoplasma pneumoniae detection. Therefore, the detection sensitivity of Mycoplasma pneumoniae antigen mainly depends on the effective lysis of mycoplasma cell membranes by surfactants in the sample processing solution and the capture of mucin by lectin in the sample pad, ensuring chromatographic efficiency.
[0147] II. Verification of the specificity of the joint detection and the effect of eliminating mucin interference To evaluate the specificity of the triple detection kit of the present invention in the simultaneous detection of multiple targets, and the elimination effect of immobilized jackfruit lectin on mucin interference, cross-reactivity studies and mucin spiked interference experiments were conducted.
[0148] 1. Cross-reaction verification Ten samples were collected from each of the following groups: single positive for influenza A virus (H1N1 and H3N2), influenza B virus (Victoria lineage and Yamagata lineage), and Mycoplasma pneumoniae, as well as clinical oropharyngeal swab samples that were confirmed by nucleic acid testing to be positive for influenza A (H1N1 + Yamagata B), influenza A (H3N2 + Victoria B), influenza A (H1N1 + Mycoplasma pneumoniae), influenza A (H3N2 + Mycoplasma pneumoniae), influenza B (Victoria + Mycoplasma pneumoniae), and influenza B (Yamagata + Mycoplasma pneumoniae).
[0149] Samples 1-3 and controls 1-5 from the kit were used for testing. Readings were performed 15 minutes after sample addition, and the color development results of the three detection lines were recorded. The results showed that in all example samples and comparative samples, only the corresponding detection line showed color in each single-positive sample, while other detection lines did not show color. In double-positive samples, all corresponding detection lines showed color, with no cross-reaction. This indicates that there is no cross-interference between the three detection channels in the triple detection kit of this invention.
[0150] 2. Mucin spiked interference experiment Large glycoprotein molecules such as mucin, which are abundant in oropharyngeal swab samples, easily adhere to nitrocellulose membranes during chromatography, clogging membrane pores and increasing the T-line background. To verify the specific capture effect of immobilized jackfruit lectin on the sample pad on mucin, a mucin spiked interference experiment was designed.
[0151] Oropharyngeal swab samples that were weakly positive for influenza A (H1N1) virus, influenza B (Victoria and Yamagata lineages) virus, and Mycoplasma pneumoniae, as confirmed by nucleic acid testing, were collected. Different concentrations of porcine gastric mucin (0 mg / mL, 5 mg / mL, 10 mg / mL, and 20 mg / mL) were added as interfering agents. Samples 1–3 and controls 1–5 from the kit were used for detection. Readings were performed 15 minutes after sample addition, and the T-line intensity was recorded. Results are shown in Tables 6 and 7.
[0152] Table 6: Effects of mucin spiking on the detection signals of influenza A (H1N1) virus and mycoplasma pneumoniae.
[0153] Table 7: Effect of mucin spiking on the detection signal of influenza B virus
[0154] As shown in Tables 6 and 7, under different concentrations of mucin spiked in the kits of this invention, the T-line intensities of influenza A H1N1 virus, influenza B virus Victoria lineage, influenza B virus Yamagata lineage, and Mycoplasma pneumoniae gradually decreased with increasing mucin concentration. Even at a high concentration of 20 mg / mL, they were still detectable, demonstrating good anti-interference ability. The signal intensity of the Yamagata lineage was slightly higher than that of the Victoria lineage at all spiked concentrations, consistent with its inherently high detection sensitivity.
[0155] At a 10 mg / mL mucin spike, reference standard 1 in the kit showed that the signals of influenza A virus and mycoplasma pneumoniae decreased to "±", the Victoria lineage signal decreased to "-", and the Yamagata lineage signal decreased to "±". At a 20 mg / mL spike, all targets except the Yamagata lineage remained "±", and all others became negative. Because reference standard 1's sample pad lectin fixation process was complete and able to capture mucin, the lack of arginine and histidine in its sample processing solution led to the loss of conformational compensation for the Victoria subtype. This subtype itself has low sensitivity, and its signal disappeared first under high concentrations of mucin interference. Other targets, due to their relatively higher sensitivity, showed a slightly slower decrease in signal, but were still affected by changes in the ionic environment.
[0156] In kit control 2, at a 10 mg / mL mucin spike, the signals for influenza A virus, Mycoplasma pneumoniae, and the Yamagata lineage were all "+", while the signal for the Victoria lineage decreased to "±". At a 20 mg / mL spike, the signals for all three targets decreased to "±", and the Victoria lineage became negative. Its anti-interference ability was slightly better than control 1, but weaker than in the examples, indicating that simply increasing the arginine concentration cannot completely replace the synergistic function of histidine.
[0157] At a 10 mg / mL mucin spike, reagent kit control 3 showed positive signals for influenza A virus, mycoplasma pneumoniae, and the Yamagata lineage, while the Victoria lineage signal weakened to ±. At a 20 mg / mL spike, all three target signals weakened to ±, and the Victoria lineage became negative. This performance is similar to that of reagent kit control 2, indicating that changes in the buffer system alter the ionic strength and pH stability of the sample, thus affecting the chromatographic efficiency of all targets, with a particularly pronounced impact on the Victoria subtype.
[0158] In kit control 4, with a 5 mg / mL mucin spike, the signals for influenza A virus and mycoplasma pneumoniae decreased to "±", the Victoria lineage signal turned negative, and the Yamagata lineage signal turned negative with a 10 mg / mL spike. This showed the worst anti-interference ability among all controls, indicating that the lectin lost its activity due to cross-linking damage and was unable to capture mucin. The inactivated protein itself further hindered chromatography, leading to severe failure in the detection of each target.
[0159] At a 5 mg / mL mucin spike, the Victoria lineage signal of reagent kit control 5 was reduced to "±"; at a 10 mg / mL spike, the Victoria and Mycoplasma pneumoniae signals turned negative, while the influenza A virus and Yamagata lineage signals were reduced to "±". Its anti-interference ability was slightly better than reagent kit control 4, but still far worse than the examples, indicating that the failure to wash out galactose resulted in the inability to restore lectin activity and the failure of mucin capture function.
[0160] The above results demonstrate that the complete immobilization process of jackfruit lectin on the sample pad of this invention is crucial for achieving efficient mucin capture and ensuring stable detection signals for various targets (especially the Victoria subtype of influenza B virus). Simultaneously, the complete configuration of arginine, histidine, and the buffer system in the sample processing solution is equally indispensable for maintaining the detection sensitivity of the Victoria subtype under high mucin interference.
[0161] III. High-dose hook effect test To evaluate the reliability of the kit in detecting high-concentration samples, a hook effect study was conducted. Serial dilutions of influenza A virus H1N1, influenza A virus H3N2, influenza B virus Victoria, influenza B virus Yamagata, and Mycoplasma pneumoniae cultures were performed using a negative matrix. Kit sample 1 and kit controls 1–5 were used for detection, with each dilution repeated three times. Changes in the T-line intensity were observed. Results, with influenza A virus H1N1 as a representative example, are listed in Table 8; the results for other pathogens showed consistent trends.
[0162] Table 8: Results of High-Dose Hook Effect Test
[0163] As shown in Table 8, sample 1 of the reagent kit of the present invention was effective against influenza A virus at a titer of 1.5 × 10⁻⁶. 5 The strongest color development was achieved at TCID50 / mL, with a stock solution of 3.0 × 10⁻⁶. 6 The signal decreased slightly at TCID50 / mL, indicating that the hook effect threshold was higher than 1.5 × 10⁻⁶. 5 TCID50 / mL, not exceeding 1.5 × 10⁻⁶ 5The detection signal within the TCID50 / mL range either increases or remains stable with increasing concentration, and no signal decrease is observed, demonstrating that the safe detection range of the kit of this invention can meet the detection needs of routine clinical samples.
[0164] The hook effect thresholds of reagent kit controls 1 and 2 were consistent with those of reagent kit sample 1, indicating that the combination of arginine and histidine does not affect the antigen-antibody ratio in the reaction system. Reagent kit control 3 was at 1.5 × 10⁻⁶. 5 At TCID50 / mL, the signal was only "++", indicating a significant decrease in the threshold, suggesting that changes in the buffer system affect the immune response rate, leading to a relative decrease in the effective antibody concentration. The kit control 4 and the kit control at 1.5 × 10⁻⁶... 3 The signal weakened to "++" at TCID50 / mL, and at 1.5×10 2 At TCID50 / mL, the signal was only "+", with the lowest hook effect threshold. The overall signal intensity was lower than that of sample 1 in the kit, indicating that lectin inactivation led to chromatography obstruction and disordered release sequence of gold-labeled antibody, exacerbating the imbalance of antigen-antibody ratio.
[0165] Furthermore, the test results for influenza A virus H3N2, influenza B virus Victoria, influenza B virus Yamagata, and Mycoplasma pneumoniae showed trends consistent with those for influenza A virus H1N1, with each target showing a titer ≤1.5×10⁻⁶. 5 TCID50 / mL (Mycoplasma pneumoniae concentration ≤3.0×10⁻⁶) 8 No signal decrease was observed as the concentration increased (CFU / mL) at any of the concentration levels.
[0166] The above results demonstrate that the complete sample pad process of the present invention is an important guarantee for ensuring the effective concentration of antibodies and solid-phase capture efficiency in the reaction system, and for improving the hook effect threshold.
[0167] IV. Accelerated Stability Test Samples 1-3 of the reagent kit and controls 1-5 of the reagent kit were placed in a 37°C incubator and removed on days 7, 14, 21, and 28, respectively. Weakly positive samples (influenza A virus H1N1, H3N2, influenza B virus Victoria and Yamagata lineages, Mycoplasma pneumoniae, Ct value 30-32) were used for detection, and the color intensity of the T line before and after acceleration was compared. Influenza B virus Victoria lineage is the key detection target of this invention, and its results are representative, as shown in Table 9.
[0168] Table 9: Accelerated Stability Test Results
[0169] As shown in Table 9, after 28 days of accelerated testing at 37°C, samples 1 and 2 of the reagent kit of the present invention still showed interpretable (±) detection lines for the Victoria lineage of influenza B virus. Sample 3 attenuated to ± at 21 days and turned negative at 28 days, indicating that the reagent kit of the present invention has good thermal stability. Controls 1-3 of the reagent kit were essentially ineffective at 21 days, while controls 4 and 5 showed signal attenuation or disappearance at 7 days, indicating significantly inferior stability compared to the samples in the reagent kit of the present invention. It is evident that the synergistic protective effect of arginine and histidine in the sample processing solution and the complete immobilization process of lectins on the sample pad not only improved the detection sensitivity but also enhanced the long-term stability of the reagent kit under accelerated conditions. Among them, controls 4 and 5 showed the worst stability, further demonstrating the irreplaceable role of sugar preprotection and elution activation steps in maintaining lectin activity and ensuring the functional stability of the sample pad. The accelerated stability results for influenza A virus H1N1, H3N2, influenza B virus Yamagata lineage, and Mycoplasma pneumoniae showed the same trend as those for influenza B virus Victoria lineage; data omitted.
[0170] The embodiments described above are merely preferred embodiments of the present invention and are not intended to limit the scope of the present invention. Various modifications and improvements made by those skilled in the art to the technical solutions of the present invention without departing from the spirit of the present invention should fall within the protection scope defined by the claims of the present invention.
