Solution Overview

Problem

Existing technologies struggle to specifically measure Crtac1B and its fragments in biological samples due to the similarity in amino acid sequences between Crtac1A and Crtac1B, leading to inaccurate detection and interference from Crtac1A.

Innovation Solution

Development of a monoclonal antibody with specific CDR sequences (SEQ ID NOs: 1-5) that binds selectively to Crtac1B and its fragments, along with a reagent kit and method for immunoassays to quantify Crtac1B in samples like blood, plasma, and cerebrospinal fluid.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Measurement precision

If existing antibody technologies are used to measure Crtac1B, then general detection capability is achieved, but measurement precision deteriorates due to sequence similarity between Crtac1A and Crtac1B causing cross-reactivity

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvedetection accuracy of Crtac1BVSAvoidinterference from Crtac1A
Core Design Contradiction:
Measurement precisionVSObject-affected harmful factors

Solution Approach 1:

The monoclonal antibody is designed to recognize a specific local region (amino acid residues 607-612) of Crtac1B that differs from Crtac1A. By targeting this unique local sequence, the antibody achieves high specificity for Crtac1B while ignoring the similar Crtac1A protein, thereby eliminating cross-reactivity and improving measurement precision.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #3Local quality

2Reliability

If existing antibody technologies are used to measure Crtac1B, then detection capability is achieved, but reliability deteriorates due to inability to specifically distinguish Crtac1B from Crtac1A

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvespecificity of Crtac1B detectionVSAvoidaccuracy in distinguishing Crtac1B from Crtac1A
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSMeasurement precision

Solution Approach 1:

The antibody targets the unique amino acid sequence at positions 607-612 of Crtac1B, which differs from Crtac1A. This localized recognition ensures that the antibody reliably binds only to Crtac1B and its fragments containing this region, eliminating cross-reactivity with Crtac1A and improving both reliability and measurement precision.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #3Local quality

3Measurement precision

If conventional measurement methods are used, then general protein detection is achieved, but measurement precision deteriorates due to presence of Crtac1B fragments with varying sequences

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvedetection accuracy of Crtac1B and fragmentsVSAvoidvariability of Crtac1B fragment sequences
Core Design Contradiction:
Measurement precisionVSAdaptability or versatility

Solution Approach 1:

The monoclonal antibody recognizes a specific local region (amino acid residues 607-612) that is conserved across Crtac1B and its fragments. This localized recognition allows the antibody to bind to full-length Crtac1B and various fragments containing this region, achieving consistent and precise detection despite sequence variability in other regions of the fragments.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #3Local quality
