Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention belongs to the field of biomedical technology, specifically relating to a method for qualitative detection of PEG-rhIFNα-2b antibody and PEG antibody in plasma samples. Background Technology
[0002] Interferon alpha-2b is an interferon drug prepared through gene recombination technology. It belongs to the class of biological response modifiers and possesses broad-spectrum antiviral, antitumor, and immunomodulatory effects. Clinically, it is used to treat diseases such as chronic hepatitis B, hepatitis C, condyloma acuminata, hairy cell leukemia, and malignant melanoma. To prolong its half-life, long-acting recombinant interferon alpha-2b drugs have become the mainstream of current biotechnology drug development.
[0003] PEG-rhIFNα-2b, officially known as PEG-modified recombinant human interferon α-2b, is a long-acting interferon injection. In clinical treatment, it may elicit an immune response, leading to adverse immune reactions and the formation of anti-therapeutic antibodies (ADAs), indicating immunogenicity. Currently, there is no immunoquantitative method for detecting antibodies against the complete PEG-rhIFNα-2b molecule. Commercially available kits only detect rhIFNα antibodies and cannot distinguish the multiple domains of PEG-rhIFNα-2b. Furthermore, the presence of endogenous IFN and IFN antibodies in plasma interferes with the detection of antibodies against the entire PEG-rhIFNα-2b molecule. Therefore, selecting appropriate coating antigens and detection antibodies to specifically detect antibodies that recognize the complete PEG-rhIFNα-2b molecule and reflect its metabolism in vivo is a significant challenge in this field. Thus, there is an urgent need to establish a sensitive and specific method for detecting PEG-rhIFNα-2b antibodies to meet the needs of clinical analysis and evaluation of this type of drug.
[0004] Antibody detection typically employs a multi-stage analytical approach. First, all samples undergo screening tests. Then, specificity confirmation tests are performed on suspected antibody-positive samples. For confirmed antibody-positive samples, titer tests are conducted, and antibody neutralizing activity is assessed. Enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) is the preferred method for initial antibody screening / confirmation due to its speed, accuracy, and readily available reagents. However, in practice, factors such as reagents, materials, and the environment, especially interfering substances in the sample, can cause non-specific binding, leading to false positives and affecting the reliability of the results. The key to antibody detection methods lies in their specificity, sensitivity, and throughput. There is an urgent need to develop a method that improves specificity and sensitivity while reducing false positive and false negative rates to meet regulatory requirements and practical testing needs. Summary of the Invention
[0005] Due to dual-antigen interference, both anti-interferon antibodies and anti-PEG antibodies coexist in the body. Existing methods cannot simultaneously detect PEG antibodies and interferon antibodies; the steric hindrance and bivalent binding structure caused by the repeating epoxy units of PEG lead to false negatives and low signal-to-noise ratios; the heterogeneity of recombinant human interferon antibodies, due to the presence of IgM and IgG, makes it difficult for indirect methods to simultaneously cover subtypes. Based on the ELISA dual-antigen sandwich method, utilizing the specific binding of "streptavidin and biotin" and "digoxigenin and digoxigenin antibody," this invention provides a method for qualitatively detecting PEG-rhIFNα-2b antibodies and PEG antibodies in human plasma samples.
[0006] This invention employs two classic biological affinity recognition systems: a streptavidin-biotin interaction system and a digoxigenin-anti-digoxigenin antibody immunorecognition system. Through systematic optimization of antigen capture, reporter antibody, and reaction concentration conditions, detection performance is significantly improved, achieving faster detection, increased throughput, and cost optimization. Methodological evaluation of this invention shows good specificity and precision, high sensitivity, and good drug resistance. It is easily adapted for high-throughput detection, and its standardized operation and validation characteristics provide a technical means for meeting the clinical analysis and evaluation needs of long-acting interferon drugs. The method of this invention can simultaneously detect PEG-rhIFNα-2b antibody and PEG antibody by using biotinylated PEG-rhIFNα-2b and digoxigenin-labeled PEG-rhIFNα-2b.

S3: Add the sample to be tested and digoxigenin-labeled PEG-rhIFNα-2b (PEG-rhIFNα-2b-Digoxigenin) to the ELISA plate obtained in S2 for co-incubation to form a streptavidin-biotin-labeled PEGylated human interferon α-2b-detection antibody-digoxigenin-labeled antigen complex (capture antigen-detection antibody-reporter antigen complex, denoted as Streptavidin / PEG-rhIFNα-2b-Biotin / PEG-rhIFNα-2b-ADA / PEG-rhIFNα-2b-Digoxigenin); S4: Add anti-digoxigenin-POD antibody to the ELISA plate obtained in S3 and incubate for binding.

Through systematic optimization of antigen capture, reporter antibody, and reaction concentration conditions, detection performance is significantly improved. This reduces the risk of false positives and false negatives while achieving faster detection speed, increased throughput, and cost optimization. Methodological evaluation results show that this invention exhibits good specificity, accuracy, and precision, high sensitivity, good drug resistance, and ease of high-throughput detection. Its standardized operation and validation characteristics provide a technical means for meeting the clinical analysis and evaluation needs of long-acting interferon drugs. This method can simultaneously detect PEG-rhIFNα-2b antibody and PEG antibody by using biotinylated PEG-rhIFNα-2b and digoxigenin-labeled PEG-rhIFNα-2b.

Screening cutoff values (SCP) and confirmatory cutoff values (CCP) were determined by adding inhibitors (PEG-rhIFNα-2b, rhIFNα-2b, and PEG) and without adding inhibitors. The sample testing arrangement is shown in Table 5. Results are as follows: Figure 2 The data distribution chart shown is used as a reference for auxiliary evaluation.
[0067] The screening critical value (SCP) is represented by the sample NR. The calculation process is as follows: The SNR values of the screening samples are logarithmically transformed and outlier analyzed. The SCP value is calculated using a 5% false positive rate. That is: when the data is normally distributed, Log(SCP) = Mean + 1.645 × SD; when the data is not normally distributed but not highly biased, Log(SCP) = Median + 1.645 × (1.4826 × MAD) (MAD is the absolute median difference); when the data is not normally distributed and highly biased, (LogSCP) = 95th percentile. The antilogarithm of Log(SCP) is the screening critical value.
[0068] The confirmatory cutoff (CCP) is represented by the inhibition rate. The calculation process is as follows: Inhibition rate (Inhibition rate % = (1 – SNR value of samples with inhibitor / SNR value of samples without inhibitor) × 100%). After outlier analysis, a 1% false positive rate is used to calculate the CCP. That is: when the data is normally distributed, CCP = Mean + 2.33 × SD; when the data is not normally distributed but not highly biased, CCP = Mean + 2.33 × (1.4826 × MAD); when the data is not normally distributed and highly biased, CCP = 99th percentile.

[0074] The final test result for the sample shall be a confirmed positive result; 4. Methodological Research Results 4.1 Sensitivity Sensitivity was calculated by serially diluting PEG-IFNα-2b antibody samples in mixed plasma to 2000 ng / mL, 1000 ng / mL, 800 ng / mL, 400 ng / mL, 200 ng / mL, 100 ng / mL, 50 ng / mL, 25 ng / mL, and 13 ng / mL; and serially diluting PEG antibody samples to 5000 ng / mL, 2500 ng / mL, 1000 ng / mL, 800 ng / mL, 400 ng / mL, 200 ng / mL, 100 ng / mL, 50 ng / mL, and 25 ng / mL. The sensitivity was calculated using the intercept method across two points spanning the screening / confirmatory cutoff value. ① Using human interferon α antibody as a reference: the sensitivity of PEG-IFNα-2b antibody is 45.8 ng / mL; ② Using PEG antibody as a reference: PEG antibody with a sensitivity of 71.5 ng / mL. The results are shown in Table 8.

[0077] 4.2 Hook effect PEG-IFNα-2b antibody and PEG antibody were diluted to specific concentrations (PEG-IFNα-2b antibody: 8000 ng / mL, 4000 ng / mL, 2000 ng / mL, 400 ng / mL, 200 ng / mL, 20 ng / mL; PEG antibody: 20000 ng / mL, 10000 ng / mL, 5000 ng / mL, 1000 ng / mL, 500 ng / mL, 100 ng / mL); the hook effect was investigated. The results showed that the SNR value did not decrease significantly with increasing positive reference concentration, and was therefore considered to have no hook effect.
[0078] ①PEG-IFNα-2b antibody: No hook effect in human whole plasma in the range of 20.0 ng / mL to 8000.0 ng / mL.
[0079] ②PEG antibody: No hook effect in human whole plasma in the range of 100.0 ng / mL to 20000.0 ng / mL.

[0085] 4.3 Precision Intra-batch precision: assessed by the coefficient of variation (%CV) of the test values from at least 6 sets of system suitability samples (NC, LPC, HPC).
[0086] Inter-batch precision: Examines the coefficient of variation (%CV) for all reportable analytical batches and system suitability samples.
[0087] Six different batches of validation samples showed: ①Precision of PEG-IFNα-2b antibody – Screening stage: Intra-assay %CV and inter-assay %CV are in the range of 1.8%-27.2% (of which the intra-assay %CV and inter-assay %CV of quality control samples are in the range of 1.8%-19.1%); ②Precision of PEG-IFNα-2b antibody – confirmatory stage: intra-assay %CV and inter-assay %CV are in the range of 0.1%-19.4%.
[0088] ③ PEG antibody precision – screening stage: intra-batch %CV and inter-batch %CV are in the range of 1.7%-23.7% (of which the intra-batch %CV and inter-batch %CV of quality control samples are in the range of 1.7%-11.5%); ④ PEG antibody precision – confirmatory stage: intra-assay %CV and inter-assay %CV are within the range of 0.0%-5.8%.
[0089] During the screening and validation phases of PEG-IFNα-2b antibody and PEG antibody quality control samples, the intra- and inter-batch %CV was no greater than 20%, and during the screening and validation phases of NC samples, the intra- and inter-batch %CV was no greater than 30%. The method of this invention demonstrates good precision in sample detection and meets acceptance criteria.
[0090] 4.4 Specificity Other antibodies (Anti-EPO, Anti-GH, etc.) were added at 150.0 ng / mL to PEG-IFNα-2b antibody (NC, LPC) samples for method specificity testing. Results showed that all LPC samples were positive, and all NC samples were negative, indicating that the specificity test met the acceptance criteria.
[0091] 4.5 Drug resistance Drug tolerance was assessed by adding drugs (PEG-IFNα-2b concentrations of 100,000, 50,000, 10,000, 5,000, 2,500, 1,000, 500, and 100 ng / mL) to PEG-IFNα-2b antibodies (LPC and HPC).
[0092] ① In human whole plasma, the maximum tolerable concentration of PEG-rhIFNα-2b is 5000.0 ng / mL when the PEG-IFNα-2b antibody is at 1500.0 ng / mL.
[0093] ② In human whole plasma, the maximum tolerable concentration of PEG-rhIFNα-2b at a PEG-IFNα-2b antibody concentration of 50.0 ng / mL was 1000.0 ng / mL. The test results are shown in Table 11.

[0095] Note: "+" indicates a positive result, and "-" indicates a negative result.
[0096] Example 2 Samples were tested using the method described in Example 1. Ten individual samples were tested, and the selectivity results met the requirements (at least 80% of the low-concentration samples were positive, and at least 80% of the blank samples were screened and confirmed to be negative).
[0097] With the addition of the inhibitor PEG-rhIFNα-2b, 100% of the selective negative samples were screened and confirmed to be negative; 100% of the low-concentration positive samples were screened and confirmed to be positive, meeting the requirements. See Table 12.
[0098] With the addition of PEG as the inhibitor, the screening results were as follows: 80% of the negative selective samples were negative, and 100% of the low-concentration positive samples were positive. The confirmation results were as follows: 100% of the negative selective samples were confirmed negative, and 90% of the low-concentration positive samples were positive. (See Table 13)

[0103] Example 3 The difference from Example 1 is that INFα-2b was used instead of SA for coating. The rest of the process is the same as in Example 1, and the double antigen sandwich method is used for detection to obtain rhIFN-α2b / PEG-IFNα-2b antibody / rhIFN-α2b-Biotin / Streptavindin-HRP.
[0104] The results showed that the OD values of the individual blank matrix coated with INFα-2b were all low. Using the 95th percentile method, the calculated CP OD value was 0.011, which is lower than the standard curve quantitation limit OD value of 0.043, outside the linear range, and therefore cannot be assigned a value or is inaccurate. Furthermore, the antigen used in the method lacks a PEG-modified structure and cannot identify ADA specific to the anti-PEG backbone, potentially leading to missed detections.
[0105] Using SA coating (Example 1), 50 individual blank matrices were converted to Log(SNR), and the CP value was calculated using the 95th percentile method. Furthermore, the method in Example 1 can simultaneously detect PEG-rhIFNα-2b antibody and PEG antibody.
[0106] Example 4 The difference from Example 1 is that INFα-2b was used instead of SA for coating. The remaining components and processes were the same as in Example 1. A double-antigen sandwich assay was used to obtain rhIFN-α2b / PEG-IFNα-2b antibody / rhIFN-α2b-Biotin / Streptavindin-HRP. Simultaneously, the sample was acidified (diluted 10-fold with 0.3M acetic acid, acidified at 28°C for 0.5 h, and then neutralized with 1M Tris HCl) to complete the detection.
[0107] The results showed that the OD signal values detected in the individual blank plasma matrix were uniform, concentrated between 0.009 and 0.011, consistent with the blank control signal value of 0.011. Both values were too low to be calculated using the 95th percentile method. Furthermore, acidification during plate transfer often resulted in unsuccessful plate coating and abnormal color development.
[0108] Example 5 The difference from Example 1 is that the appropriate concentration range of the antibody was investigated.
[0109] The results showed that the PEG-rhIFNα-2b antibody had a good linear range of 2~250 ng / mL. The high-concentration quality control at 200 ng / mL showed normal color development and a high color value. The HPC was appropriately reduced to 150 ng / mL, which met the color development requirements. The LPC was confirmed by sensitivity gradient test.
[0110] Example 6 The difference from Example 1 is that the color development of different PEG antibodies was examined.
[0111] The results showed that the OD values of several PEG antibodies from GenScript (A01795), abcam (ab190652), abcam (ab133471), abcam (ab170969), IBMS (rAGP6), and IBMS (rAGP6.3) at 250 ng / mL were approximately 0.83, 0.69, 0.05, 0.05, 0.05, and 0.05, respectively. Except for abcam (ab190652) and GenScript (A01795), which showed color development, the other antibodies from abcam and IBMS showed slow or almost no color development. GenScript (A01795) showed the best color development, making it the preferred positive control for PEG antibodies.
[0112] Example 7 The difference from Example 1 is that in step 5 of Example 1, the concentration of the added inhibitor was examined. The concentrations of the inhibitors (PEG-rhIFNα-2b, rhIFNα-2b, and PEG) were confirmed by adding a gradient of PEG-rhIFNα-2b, IFNα-2b, and PEG. Specifically, the concentrations of PEG-rhIFNα-2b and IFNα-2b were 1 μg / mL, 5 μg / mL, 10 μg / mL, 25 μg / mL, 50 μg / mL, and 100 μg / mL, while the concentrations of PEG were 0.02 μg / mL, 0.2 μg / mL, 1 μg / mL, 5 μg / mL, 10 μg / mL, 25 μg / mL, and 50 μg / mL.
[0113] The results showed that adding 50 μg / mL of PEG-rhIFNα-2b, 50 μg / mL of rhIFNα-2b, and 100 μg / mL of PEG could all suppress the colorimetric signal to the Blank level.
[0114] Example 8 The difference from Example 1 is that PEG-G-CSF was used instead of SA for coating, and the PEG antibody was detected by an indirect method to obtain PEG-rhG-CSF / ADA / Rabbit anti-human IgG-HRP.
[0115] The results showed that the sensitivity was 100 ng / mL, and the effect of Example 8 was inferior to that of Example 1.
