Abstract
Description
[Technical Field]
[0001] (Related Applications) This application claims priority to a Chinese patent application for invention, application number CN202311657451.8, filed on December 5, 2023, and entitled "Protein detection method and detection device and application thereof," the entire contents of which are incorporated herein by reference.
[0002] (Technical field) The present application relates to the technical field of biological detection, and in particular to protein detection methods and devices and their applications. [Background technology]
[0003] Multiplexed immunoassays are widely used in clinical diagnostics, therapeutics, drug discovery, and clinical proteomics research. The number of protein biomarkers used in clinical and pharmaceutical applications reaches hundreds, creating a demand for time-saving and cost-effective analytical strategies for multiplexed immunoassays. Liquid-phase microarray technology (suspension array technology, also known as suspension array technology) is a new, high-throughput biochip technology that combines flow cytometry, laser technology, and applied fluidics for protein and nucleic acid detection. Compared with traditional enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) technology, which has the disadvantages of low reproducibility, susceptibility to false positives, and time and labor consumption, new types of suspension arrays have a wide linear range, are easy to operate, and can perform highly efficient multiplexed assays.
[0004] The microsphere suspension microarray is a new biochip technology platform from Luminex xMAP Technology, which is one of the earliest FDA-approved biochip technologies for clinical diagnostics and one of the most widely used multiplexing technologies. It simultaneously detects the microsphere coding and reporter fluorescence with red and green laser light, enabling qualitative and quantitative analysis. It is a new-generation high-throughput molecular detection technology platform following GeneChip and ProteinChip.
[0005] However, Luminex's xMAP technology also has drawbacks. For example, due to the large and complex contents in serum, when detecting certain antibodies, the background signal can be too high, resulting in a low S / N ratio and reduced reliability of experimental results. Over the past few decades, Luminex has made great efforts to optimize its microspheres and detection platform, continuously improving detection accuracy, improving the performance of its air compressor, increasing the number of detection weights, and increasing detection throughput, but this inevitably results in higher technical complexity and higher costs.
[0006] Graphical coding is another popular coding system for suspension arrays, using a set of visually distinguishable patterns, such as barcodes and physical shapes, to identify different particles for analysis. Similar to particle-based xMAP systems, graphical suspension arrays are pseudo-homogeneous assays that approximate solution-diffusion kinetics, resulting in higher mixing efficiency. Importantly, graphically encoded particles offer unique features that overcome the drawbacks of color-coded beads, including better particle shape / size consistency, digital and analog decoding processes, and greater flexibility in selecting materials with different chemical, mechanical, and optical properties for custom particles.
[0007] To date, most proposed graphical suspension arrays have focused on multiplexed detection of nucleic acids, while little research has been done on immunoassays for protein analytes. This is partly due to complex analytical development issues, such as analyte fragility, reagent reproducibility, and nonspecific binding. Existing publications in this field reveal few methods for measuring LOD (limit of detection) for proteins at levels above 1 pg / mL. Furthermore, in the case of protein quantification methods based on the ELISA principle using suspension arrays, because the suspension chips are not immobilized in an array pattern, washing steps are required in the reaction stage before multiplexing. The washing steps in the reaction stage before multiplexing require prolonged natural sedimentation or multiple centrifugations, which inevitably significantly lengthen the overall reaction time, resulting in time-consuming and labor-intensive procedures, poor reproducibility, and a susceptibility to false positives. Summary of the Invention [Problem to be solved by the invention]

[0070] Example 1 This embodiment provides a protein detection device based on Lab-in-Tip technology, the specific structure of which can be seen in FIG.
[0071] As shown in Figure 1, the protein detection device is composed of a detachable silica tube 1, a capillary tube 2, and a pipette tip 3. The capillary tube 2 and the pipette tip 3 are connected to both ends of the silica tube 1, and the sizes of the connections of the silica tube 1, the capillary tube 2, and the pipette tip 3 are matched so that no liquid leaks from the entire connected protein detection device.
[0072] A probe-type graphic-encoded chip 4 with different capture antibodies bound thereto is fixed to the inner wall of the capillary tube 2 .
[0073] Specifically, the pipette tip 3 has a conical structure, and its inner wall includes a first storage area 5 and a second storage area 6, and the first storage area 5 is located at one end of the connecting silica tube 1, i.e., in the area between the end close to the tip of the pipette tip 3 and the middle half of the pipette tip 3.
[0074] The second storage area 6 is located at the tail end, ie in the area between the end connected to the pipetting workstation and the middle half of the pipette tip 3 .
[0075] In this example, a biotinylated detection antibody is immobilized in the first conserved region 5 , and SAPE (fluorescently labeled streptavidin) is immobilized in the second conserved region 6 .
[0076] Specifically, the immobilization method may be a freeze-drying method, and the detection antibody and SAPE may be immobilized directly in the pipette tip 3, respectively.
[0077] The freeze-drying method includes the following: after placing the detection antibody in the first storage area 5 and the SAPE in the second storage area 6, the pipette tip 3 is placed in a refrigerator at -80°C to freeze for 20 minutes (min), and after the detection antibody and SAPE are in a solid state, the pipette tip 3 is placed in a freeze-dryer to freeze-dry for 1.5 hours.
[0078] Furthermore, the method for preparing the probe-type graphic-encoded chip 4 includes: (1) Prepare silica-based coded suspension chips and measure 2 x 10 5 Each coded suspension chip is selected and dispersed in 1000 μL of a 5% aminosilane (APDMS) ethanol solution (prepared with 95% ethanol), and allowed to react thoroughly for 30 minutes, followed by washing. (2) After discarding the supernatant, the suspended chips are dispersed in 1000 μL of 10% butanedioic anhydride solution, shaken overnight at room temperature, and then washed to obtain carboxylated chips. (3) Prepare an activation solution containing 130 mmol / L EDC and 326 mmol / L NHS in 0.1 mol / L MES buffer (pH 4.7). Mix the chip suspension with the activation solution at room temperature and react for about 30 minutes, then wash. Then mix with a probe molecule solution (solvent is 0.1 mol / L NaAc-HAc buffer) at 4°C and react for 6 to 12 hours to obtain a probe-type image-encoded chip. In this example, the probe is a capture antibody.
[0079] Referring to Figure 2, the probe-type image-encoded chip prepared in this example has a size of 14 x 25 μm, a 128-fold code space, and can provide 128-fold detection for the sample.
[0080] The probe-type image-encoded chip is embedded in the inner wall of the capillary tube 2 by natural sedimentation, and the silica tube 1, the capillary tube 2, and the pipette tip 3 are connected in sequence to assemble the chip, thereby obtaining a Lab-in-Tip detection device.
[0081] The protein is detected by the above-mentioned Lab-in-Tip based detection device, and the specific detection method includes the following steps: a. Graphically coded chips are precisely fabricated and released by photolithography, and then modified with carboxyl groups. Different specific capture antibodies are then encapsulated on different graphic coded chips to obtain different coded chips with different capture antibodies attached. In this example, the capture antibodies are named Purified anti-human IL-8 and Purified anti-human IL-1β. b) Different coded chips with different types of capture antibodies bound thereto are immobilized on the inner wall of the capillary tube 2 by spontaneous precipitation; c) After preparing a mixture of biotinylated detection antibodies and SAPE at desired concentrations, they are sealed in the front and rear ends of the pipette tip 3. The initial concentration of the detection antibodies is 35 μg / mL, the sampling volume is 2 μL, and the final concentration after dissolution is 1 μg / mL. The concentration of SAPE is 30 μg / mL, the sampling volume is 2 μL, and the final concentration after dissolution is 0.5 μg / mL. d. The silica tube 1 is connected to the square capillary tube 2 and the pipette tip 3 in sequence. e. Add 50 μL of sample solution to each well of a 96-well plate, and place the 96-well plate in a pipetting workstation. f. Inserting the Lab-in-Tip based detection device onto the mechanical pipette tip in the pipetting workstation and starting the device, the Lab-in-Tip based detection device sprays into the sample well for 30 minutes; g. After the spraying is completed, the Lab-in-Tip-based detection device is automatically transferred to the washing bath in the pipetting workstation and sprayed up and down three times for washing; h) Prepare another new 96-well plate, dispense 70 μL of 1× phosphate buffer solution into each well, and spray the Lab-in-Tip-based detection device into the wells for 20 minutes, ensuring that the volume of phosphate buffer solution in the pipette tip does not exceed half the length of the pipette tip, so that the detection antibody pre-encapsulated on the inner wall of the pipette tip 3 can be sprayed and dissolved, and the SAPE encapsulated in the second storage section 6 will not be affected by the phosphate buffer solution. The final concentration of the antibody obtained after dissolution is 1 μg / mL, which enters the capillary tube 2 and reacts with the specific capture antibody on the multi-coded chip surface on the inner wall of the capillary tube 2; After the spraying is completed, the Lab-in-Tip-based detection device is automatically transferred to the cleaning tank again and sprayed up and down three times for cleaning. j) Prepare another new 96-well plate, dispense 120 μL of phosphate buffer into each well, and allow the Lab-in-Tip device to spray itself into the well for 10 minutes to spray and dissolve the pre-encapsulated SAPE. The volume of phosphate buffer in the pipette tip exceeds the position of the second storage section 6, thereby completely dissolving the SAPE. The final concentration of SAPE obtained after dissolution is 0.5 μg / mL, which reacts with the specific capture antibody on the multi-coded chip surface on the inner wall of the capillary tube 2. k) After the spraying is completed, the Lab-in-Tip-based detection device is automatically transferred to the washing tank of the pipetting workstation again and sprayed up and down five times for cleaning; l. The capillary tube 2 is removed and used directly to collect image data, which is then processed for qualitative or quantitative analysis to obtain measurement results.
[0082] In this example, the sample solution uses human cytokine IL-8 as a model protein analyte, dissolved in a buffer solution, with an initial concentration of 10 ng / mL, and diluted 5 times to a final concentration of 0.64 pg / mL.
[0083] After analysis using the above detection method, specific capture antibodies are bound to specific coded chips in the detection tube to capture the target substance in the sample, and the amount of multiple soluble components in the sample is measured and analyzed based on the difference in the intensity of the fluorescence carried by the different coded chips.
[0084] Figure 3 shows the standard curve for the detection of human cytokine IL-8 (purchased from R&D) within one hour of reaction time. The dotted line at the bottom represents the blank (protein content: 0), i.e., the detection line for no analyte. The analysis shows that by adopting the technical solution of the present application, the sensitivity of protein quantification analysis is improved to the pg / mL level (when the protein concentration is around 1 pg / mL, the chip signal value is still clearly distinguishable). The target protein can be quantified by matching the fluorescence intensity of the sample to the standard curve.
[0085] Example 2 This example differs from Example 1 in the following respects: the samples to be detected were 13 types of human cytokines used as model protein analytes, namely, IL-1β, IL-2, IL-4, IL-5, IL-6, IL-8, IL-10, IL-12, IL-17, TNF-α, IFN-α, IFN-γ, and GM-CSF (all purchased from R&D).
[0086] Thirteen types of protein analytes were mixed, and thirteen types of detection antibodies were also premixed and sealed in a Lab-in-Tip pipette tip. Using Lab-in-Tip technology, the specific operating steps were the same as in Example 1, and in this example, the above 13-plex detection was completed within a reaction time of 1 hour.
[0087] The detection results can be seen in Figures 4a, 4b, 4c, 4d, 4e, 4f, 4g, 4h, 4i, 4j, 4k, 4l, and 4m. As can be seen from the standard curve, the sensitivity of protein quantification analysis is improved to the pg / mL level, and when the protein concentration is around 1 pg / mL, the chip signal values are still clearly distinguishable.
[0088] Example 3 This example is similar to Example 1 except for the following points. The assembled Lab-in-Tip detection device of this example is stored in a refrigerator at 4° C. for 3 months before detection.
[0089] The detection results can be seen in Figure 5, which shows that the quantitative analysis sensitivity of protein can still be maintained at the pg / mL level. Specifically, the stored signal value fluctuates within the 20% error range and does not decrease significantly. At the same time, the detection sensitivity of IL-1β detected by the above method can reach 1 pg / mL.
[0090] Example 4 This example differs from Example 1 in the following respects: the samples to be detected were four human cytokines used as model protein analytes, namely IL-4, IL-6, IL-8, and IL-1β (all purchased from R&D), and quadruplicate detection was achieved with a sample volume of 10 μL.
[0091] Four types of protein analytes were mixed, and four types of detection antibodies were also premixed and sealed in a Lab-in-Tip pipette tip. Using Lab-in-Tip technology, quadruple detection was completed with only a 10 μL sample volume (the sample volume in Example 1 was 50 μL) within a reaction time of 1 hour.
[0092] The detection results can be seen in Figures 6a, 6b, 6c, and 6d. As can be seen from the standard curve, the sensitivity of protein quantitative analysis is improved to the pg / mL level, and when the protein concentration is around 1 pg / mL, the chip signal values are still clearly distinguishable.
[0093] Example 5 This example differs from Example 1 in the following respects: the samples to be detected were three types of human cytokines used as model protein analytes, IL-4, IL-6, and IL-8 (all purchased from R&D), and triple detection was completed within a reaction time of 15 minutes.
[0094] Three types of protein analytes were mixed, and three types of detection antibodies were also premixed and sealed in a Lab-in-Tip pipette tip. Using the Lab-in-Tip technology, triple detection was completed within a reaction time of only 15 minutes (the reaction time in Example 1 was 1 hour).
[0095] The detection results can be seen in Figures 7a, 7b, and 7c. As can be seen from the standard curve, the sensitivity of protein quantification was improved to the pg / mL level (when the protein concentration was around 1 pg / mL, the chip signal values were still clearly distinguishable).
[0096] As can be seen from the detection results of Examples 1 to 5, protein concentrations can be detected down to the 1 pg / mL level. When the protein concentration is around 1 pg / mL (concentration 1 pg / mL), the signal values are clearly distinguishable. At this point, all signal values are higher than the background signal value, making multiplex detection possible. At its highest, the Lab-in-Tip detection device provided in this application can achieve 128-plex detection.
[0097] Furthermore, in Example 4, highly sensitive (pg / mL level) detection and analysis was possible with only 10 μL of detection sample, and chip signal values were clearly distinguishable.
[0098] In Example 5, triplex detection was completed in 15 minutes, demonstrating that rapid detection can be achieved using the method of the present application.
[0099] By adopting the Lab-in-Tip detection device provided in this application, a graphic-coded tip can be fixed to the inner wall of a capillary tube and assembled into the structure of a pipette tip commonly used in biology. At the same time, biotinylated detection antibodies and proteins such as SAPE can be pre-encapsulated inside the pipette tip. This Lab-in-Tip detection device, which improves on the prior art pipette tip structure commonly used in biology, can quickly achieve protein quantitative analysis based on the ELISA principle in a short time, and can achieve a sensitivity of 1 pg / mL within a 15-minute reaction time.
[0100] In particular, in actual detection, a detection device commonly used in laboratories can be selected and assembled, and highly sensitive detection can be achieved without the need for a special detection device.
[0101] Apparently, this application is based on Lab-in-Tip technology, and the graphic coding chip used provides a 128-plex code space, that is, 128-plex detection can be completed with a single pipette tip, the amount of sample required in the reaction process can be greatly reduced, the time for the washing process can be greatly shortened, and multiplex detection can be achieved quickly, simply, with high throughput, good reproducibility, high sensitivity, and a wide linear range.

As long as they do not deviate from the spirit and principles of the present application, any modifications, alterations, substitutions, integrations and parameter changes made to these embodiments that achieve normal substitutions or similar functions and do not deviate from the principles and spirit of the present application shall all be included in the scope of protection of the present application.
