Technical Field
The present application relates to a method for preparing a solid substrate for performing biological and chemical assays and to a solid substrate prepared by the method. In particular, solid substrates for multiplex bioassays.
Background
Arrays for biological and chemical analysis can be created by attaching probe molecules to a solid substrate having a surface comprising a resin material (e.g., a functionalized epoxy). The array allows rapid screening of large numbers of biomolecules, such as nucleic acids and proteins, in very small sample volumes. For example, particles called microspheres or microbeads (called barcoded microbeads) with identifiable tags and/or labels have been used in parallel multiplex assays to identify disease-related targets, toxin-related targets, gene-related targets, etc. The microbeads have a resin coating on their surface that is conjugated with one or more probe molecules that have affinity for and/or have the ability to interact with one or more specific target molecules. Each probe molecule is attached to a separate bead, which is encoded so as to be uniquely identifiable. In an assay, microbeads are contacted with a sample to bind different target molecules in the sample to microbeads to which the corresponding probe molecules are conjugated. The bar code enables identification of the target.
Microbead assay is now an important tool for biological product assays and diagnostics. Microbead-based technology represents a subtle and versatile method for performing highly parallel quantitative multiparameter assays. They form the basis of various techniques for detecting and quantifying nucleic acids and proteins in a sample.
Epoxy-based resins have been used as coating materials for attachment to probe molecules. However, attaching probe molecules to the surface of an epoxy-based resin requires an additional step of first functionalizing the resin surface. U.S. patent No. 9,255,922 discloses a substrate, such as a microbead or microsphere, coated with an epoxy-based resin attached to probe molecules. This patent teaches that epoxy resins are hydrophobic, which represents a limitation for many biological applications, and therefore, the epoxy resin must be modified with additional functional monomers before the probe molecule can be effectively attached to the resin. Thus, after (or simultaneously with) the formation of the epoxy, the epoxy needs to be contacted with additional functional monomers to functionalize the epoxy, thereby enabling the biomolecular probes to effectively attach to the surface of the epoxy. This additional step of contacting the epoxy resin with the functional monomer is laborious and time consuming.
There is a need in the art for simplified methods to prepare substrates having surfaces comprising epoxy-based resins that can be effectively attached to biomolecular probes. The inventors have surprisingly found that biomolecular probes can be effectively attached to a substrate coated with an epoxy resin without first functionalizing the epoxy resin with additional functional monomers.
These and other features and advantages of the present application will become apparent from the following detailed description of the preferred embodiments, which, by way of example, illustrates the principles of the application.
Citation of any reference in this application shall not be construed as an admission that such reference is prior art to the present application.

Detailed Description
The present invention relates to a substrate for bioanalytical analysis and a method of preparing a substrate for bioanalytical analysis. Substrates for bioassays include epoxy resins having biomolecular probes directly bonded to the epoxy resin.
As used herein, the phrase "biomolecular probe directly bound to an epoxy resin" and similar phrases mean that the biomolecular probe is attached to the resin by simply contacting the biomolecular probe with the resin without first contacting the epoxy resin with another agent that is covalently reactive with the epoxy resin. The biomolecular probe may be passively attached to the epoxy, or covalently attached to the epoxy.
The substrate for bioassay was prepared by:
(i) Providing a substrate having a surface comprising an epoxy-based resin, and
(ii) The biomolecular probe is contacted with the epoxy resin such that the biomolecular probe is directly bound to the epoxy resin.
In one embodiment, the substrate is an epoxy-based resin.
In one embodiment, the substrate is a solid support coated with an epoxy-based resin. Illustrative epoxy-coatable solid support materials include, but are not limited to, particles, beads, and surfaces, including glass, polymers, latex, elemental metals, metal composites, alloys, silicon, carbon, and mixtures thereof.
In one embodiment, a portion of the epoxy is polymerized prior to contacting the biomolecular probe with the epoxy.
Suitable epoxy-based resins include, but are not limited to, EPON SU-8, EPON 1001F, 1002F, 1004F, 1007F, 1009F, 2002, and 2005 (commercially available from Hexon Specialty Chemicals company of Fei Ye teville, north carolina, usa). EPON SU-8 and EPON 1002F are preferred resins.
SU-8 is a photocurable epoxy resin. SU-8 is a polymer of formaldehyde with (chloromethyl) oxirane and 4,4- (1-methylethylidene) bisphenol (CAS: 28906-96-9). SU-8 is a polymeric solid epoxy novolac resin with an average epoxy functionality of about 8. The structure of the SU-8 epoxy resin is as follows:
SU-8 is commercially available from Hexion Specialty Chemicals company as EPON SU-8 as a solution containing SU-8 and a photoacid generator.
1002F is a photocurable epoxy (CAS: 25036-25-3). 1002F is a polymer of 4,4'- (1-methylethylene) bisphenol with 2,2' - [ (1-methylethylene) bis (4, 1-phenylenemethylene) ] bis (ethylene oxide) and is commercially available from Flexion Specialty Chemicals company under the trade name EPON 1002F as a solution containing 1002F and a photoacid generator.
Suitable biomolecular probes include, but are not limited to, lipids, polysaccharides, amino acids, polypeptides, oligopeptides, peptides, antibodies and fragments thereof, polynucleotides (including single-and double-stranded DNA and RNA), oligonucleotides, aptamers, lectins, avidin, streptavidin, biotin, and polyethylene glycol. Preferably, the biomolecular probe is a polypeptide, oligopeptide, peptide, polynucleotide or shorter oligonucleotide. In one embodiment, the biomolecule is an antibody. In one embodiment, the biomolecular probe is a synthetic molecule, such as rhodamine and the like. Exemplary biomolecular probes include SDMA, ADMA, T4, cortisol, progesterone, and enzymes (e.g., lipases, such as pancreatic lipase, etc.).
Without wishing to be bound by theory, it is believed that the biomolecular probes bind to epoxy-based resins by reaction of amine, thiol, or hydroxyl groups on the biomolecules with epoxy groups on the resin. Biomolecular probes may also be passively bound to epoxy resins. As used herein, the phrase "passive binding" refers to binding by non-covalent interactions (such as van der waals interactions, hydrophobic interactions, hydrophilic interactions, or hydrogen bonding interactions, etc.).
The substrate having a surface comprising an epoxy-based resin may be, but is not limited to, a film alone or adhered to another solid surface; microbeads; particles; a microsphere; a microchip; paramagnetic beads; particles containing identifying features such as bar codes and the like; paramagnetic particles; paramagnetic particles containing barcodes; and beads containing nickel barcodes.
In some embodiments, the biomolecular probe is directly bound to the epoxy resin by simply contacting the epoxy resin with the biomolecule.
In one embodiment, the biomolecular probe is contacted with the epoxy resin by adding a substrate having a surface comprising the epoxy resin to a solution of the biomolecular probe to provide a contact mixture. In one embodiment, the solution of the biomolecular probe is an aqueous solution. In one embodiment, the solution of biomolecular probes is a buffered aqueous solution. In one embodiment, the solution of the biomolecular probe is a Dimethylsulfoxide (DMSO) solution.
In a preferred embodiment, the substrate having a surface comprising an epoxy resin is washed with DMSO before the substrate having a surface comprising an epoxy resin is added to the solution of biomolecular probes to provide the contact mixture. In one embodiment, the substrate having a surface comprising an epoxy resin is washed with DMSO immediately before contacting the substrate having a surface comprising an epoxy resin with a solution of biomolecular probes to provide a contact mixture. Surprisingly, it was found that contacting an epoxy with DMSO prior to contacting the epoxy with a biomolecular probe provided a substrate for bioassay as follows: the substrate exhibits less variability in the number of biomolecular probes bound to the epoxy and less variability in the signal obtained in detecting the presence of analytes bound to the biomolecular probes in a sample. Surprisingly, it was found that contacting an epoxy with DMSO before contacting the epoxy with a biomolecular probe provided a substrate for bioanalytical analysis that exhibited better signals.
By directly binding the biomolecular probe to the epoxy resin, the method advantageously avoids the additional step of having to functionalize the epoxy resin by: (i) Reacting the epoxy with another molecule prior to binding the biomolecular probe to the epoxy, or (ii) mixing the other molecule into the epoxy prior to polymerization. By avoiding this additional step, the method is advantageously faster, cheaper, and eliminates steps that may be erroneous or variable.
When a solution of biomolecular probes is used to contact the biomolecular probes with a substrate having a surface comprising an epoxy resin, the concentration of biomolecular probes in the solution ranges from about 0.05mg/mL to about 5mg/mL, preferably from about 0.01mg/mL to about 3.0mg/mL, more preferably from about 0.15mg/mL to about 2.5mg/mL, for example about 1.5mg/mL.
The concentration of the substrate having the epoxy-containing resin surface in the contact mixture ranges from about 0.05x 10 6 substrate/mL to about 5.0X10 6 substrate/mL, preferably about 0.1X10 6 substrate/mL to about 3.0X10 6 substrate/mL. In one embodiment, the biomolecular probe is a peptide and the concentration of the substrate having the surface comprising the epoxy resin in the contact mixture ranges from about 0.1x 10 6 substrate/mL to about 3.0X10 6 substrate/mL, e.g., about 2.0X10 6 substrate/mL. In one embodiment, the biomolecular probe is an antibody and the concentration of the substrate having the surface comprising the epoxy resin in the contact mixture ranges from about 0.1x 10 6 substrate/mL to about 1.8X10 6 substrate/mL, e.g., about 1x 10 6 substrate/mL.
The solution of the biomolecular probe is typically contacted with a substrate having a surface comprising an epoxy resin for a time sufficient to allow the biomolecular probe to bind to the epoxy resin. Typically, the solution of biomolecular probes is contacted with a substrate having a surface comprising an epoxy resin for at least about 4 hours, preferably at least about 8 hours, more preferably at least about 10 hours. In one embodiment, the molecular probe is contacted with a substrate having a surface comprising an epoxy resin for about 4 hours to about 18 hours.

In one embodiment, the contact mixture is maintained at a temperature between about 4 ℃ and about 65 ℃, preferably between about 15 ℃ and about 30 ℃, more preferably between about 18 ℃ and 27 ℃. In one embodiment, the contact mixture is agitated to ensure that the surface of the substrate having the surface comprising the epoxy resin is in sufficient contact with the solution of biomolecular probes.

Without wishing to be bound by theory, the second aspect of the method involves the reaction of thiol groups on the biomolecular probe with epoxide groups on the epoxide resin. Such cysteine residues may be present at any position of the peptide sequence. Cysteine may also be separated from the peptide by a linker (such as a PEG linker, etc.). The PEG may have a defined length, such as by using discontinuous PEG. dPEG (Quanta Biodesign, prain, ohio) is a particularly suitable PEG.

Example 4: coupling rhodamine to barcoded magnetic beads:
materials:
DMSO washing of BMB:
to a 1mL centrifuge tube on a magnetic rack, 0.5mL of BMB suspended in storage buffer was added to provide a concentration of 100,000BMB/mL.
BMB suitable for this process is BMB prepared from SU-8, an epoxy negative photoresist (commercially available from Applied BioCode Inc. of St.Fei Prins, calif.). BMB is provided in a storage buffer containing sodium chloride (0.8%), potassium chloride (0.02%), disodium hydrogen phosphate (0.144%), monopotassium hydrogen phosphate (0.024%), tween-20 (0.05%), and ProClin 950 (0.1%).
Liquid was removed from each centrifuge tube with a pipette, and then about 0.5mL DMSO (commercially available from Sigma Aldrich corporation of st. The tube was vortexed vigorously for 10 seconds, placed back on a magnetic rack, left to stand for 1 minute, and the DMSO removed with a pipette. The washing process was repeated 2 more times. Then, about 0.5mL DMSO was added to each tube, the tube was vortexed vigorously, and left to stand on a mixer at room temperature for 4 hours.
Coating with rhodamine-lissamine:
after mixing for 4 hours, the tube was removed, placed on a magnet holder for 1 minute, DMSO was removed with a pipette, and about 0.5mL of about 150mM EPPS buffer, pH about 9.0, was added. The tube containing BMB in EPPS buffer was then vortexed vigorously for 10 seconds, placed back on the magnet holder, and the EPPS buffer removed with a pipette. The washing process was repeated 2 more times. After washing was completed, about 0.5mL EPPS buffer was added to each tube and the tube was vortexed. Then, about 10.0mM rhodamine-Liylamine (9. Mu.L, 0.3mg/mL solution in DMSO) or sulforhodamine (control, 1.2. Mu.L, 2.8mg/mL solution in DMSO) was added to the epoxy BMB in EPPS buffer. The BMB suspension was turned upside down at room temperature for about 22 hours in the dark. After this time, the coated BMB was placed on a magnetic stent and the solvent was removed with a pipette. The coated BMB was washed with about 1.0mL of a solution of about 1.8mM disodium hydrogen phosphate, about 8.4mM sodium dihydrogen phosphate, about 145nM sodium chloride and about 0.05% Tween-20 by brief vortexing, and then the solvent was removed. This procedure was repeated 5 times. Finally, about 1.0mL of a solution of about 1.8mM disodium hydrogen phosphate, about 8.4mM sodium dihydrogen phosphate, about 145nM sodium chloride, and about 0.05% Tween-20 was added to the coated BMB to a final concentration of about 50,000BMB/mL. About 5.0 μl of the resulting BMB suspension was then added to the wells of a 96-well plate, with a final count of about 250 BMB/well. About 200. Mu.L of a solution of about 1.8mM disodium hydrogen phosphate, about 8.4mM sodium dihydrogen phosphate, about 145nM sodium chloride, and about 0.05% Tween-20 was added to each well to provide a suspension for determining BMB.
Fluorescence of each well was determined using a microplate reader (commercially available from Applied BioCode company of san feiprism, california).
The epoxy BMB coated with rhodamine-lissamine showed significant fluorescence on the microplate reader, indicating that the rhodamine probes were effectively coated on the epoxy BMB surface. In contrast to sulforhodamine without reactive amine functionality, epoxy BMB incubated with epoxy BMB did not show any observable fluorescence. This demonstrates that the non-specific binding of the rhodamine probe to the epoxy BMB surface is very low, indicating that rhodamine-lissamine specifically reacts with the epoxy surface via primary amine functionality. It can be concluded that amine functionalized small molecules are capable of covalently binding to the epoxy BMB surface.

approximately 0.2mL of BMB suspended in storage buffer was added to a 1mL centrifuge tube on a magnet rack to provide a concentration of 1,00,000BMB/mL.
BMB suitable for this process is BMB prepared from SU-8, an epoxy negative photoresist (commercially available from Applied BioCode Inc. of St.Fei Prins, calif.). BMB is provided in a storage buffer containing sodium chloride (0.8%), potassium chloride (0.02%), disodium hydrogen phosphate (0.144%), monopotassium hydrogen phosphate (0.024%), tween-20 (0.05%), and ProClin-950 (0.1%).
Liquid was removed from each centrifuge tube with a pipette, and then about 0.2mL DMSO (commercially available from Sigma Aldrich corporation of st. The tube was vortexed vigorously for 10 seconds, placed back on a magnetic rack, left to stand for 1 minute, and the DMSO removed with a pipette. The washing process was repeated 2 more times. About 0.2mL of DMSO was added to each tube, the tube was vortexed vigorously and allowed to stand on a mixer for 4 hours at room temperature.
After mixing for 4 hours, the tube was removed, placed on a magnet holder for 1 minute, DMSO was removed with a pipette, and about 0.2mL of about 150mM EPPS buffer was added to the tube at a pH of about 9.0. Then, the tube containing BMB in EPPS buffer was vortexed vigorously for 10 seconds, placed back on the magnet holder, and the EPPS buffer was removed with a pipette. The washing process was repeated 2 more times.
A solution of about 0.1mM biotin-Lyme peptide and Lyme-Alexafluor555 was prepared from a 1.0mM stock solution. Each peptide has multiple lysine residues, but no cysteine residues or other sulfhydryl groups. Approximately 200. Mu.L of biotin-Lyme peptide solution, lyme-Alexafluor555 solution or control containing EPPS buffer alone was added to the BMB containing tube. The resulting BMB suspension was turned upside down at room temperature for about 2 hours in the dark. After this period of time, the tube containing BMB was placed on a magnetic rack and the solvent was removed with a pipette. The BMB was then washed with about 0.2mL of a solution of about 1.8mM disodium hydrogen phosphate, about 8.4mM sodium dihydrogen phosphate, about 145nM sodium chloride, and about 0.05% Tween-20 by brief vortexing, and then the solvent was removed. This procedure was repeated 2 times.
About 200. Mu.L of SA-PE (streptavidin phycoerythrin) containing solution (8. Mu.g/mL SA-PE) was obtained by diluting SA-PE (commercially available as a 1mg/mL solution from Moss company of Pasadena, malaran) with a multiplex assay buffer of 1.8mM disodium hydrogen phosphate, 8.4mM sodium dihydrogen phosphate, 145nM sodium chloride, 0.05% Tween-20, 1% bovine serum albumin, 0.05% ProClin 950) was added to BMB and the beads were incubated for about 10 minutes. After incubation, the supernatant was removed, BMB was washed with about 0.2mL of a solution of about 1.8mM disodium hydrogen phosphate, about 8.4mM disodium phosphate, about 145nM sodium chloride and about 0.05% Tween-20 (pH of about 7.4) by brief vortexing, and then the solvent was removed. This procedure was repeated 5 times. Finally, about 0.4mL of a solution (pH about 7.4) of about 1.8mM disodium hydrogen phosphate, about 8.4mM sodium dihydrogen phosphate, about 145nM sodium chloride, and about 0.05% Tween-20 was added to the coated BMB to provide a final concentration of about 50,000BMB/mL. 5.0. Mu.L of the resulting BMB suspension was added to wells of a 96-well plate, with a final count of about 250 BMB/well, and about 200. Mu.L of a solution of about 1.8mM disodium hydrogen phosphate, about 8.4mM sodium dihydrogen phosphate, about 145mM sodium chloride, and about 0.05% Tween-20 was added to each well to provide a BMB suspension for assay.
The fluorescence of each well was determined using a microplate reader (commercially available from Applied BioCode company of san fepristine, california)
BMB coated with biotin-Lyme peptide and Lyme-Alexafluor555 peptide showed significant fluorescence on the microplate reader, indicating that the peptides were effectively coated on the BMB surface. The lack of fluorescence observed in the control indicated that the SA-PE analyte bound very poorly to the BMB surface, indicating that the biotin-Lyme peptide and Lyme-Alexafluor555 peptide reacted specifically with the epoxy surface via the primary amine functionality contained in the lysine residues of the peptide. It can be concluded that peptides containing lysine (amine functionality) are capable of covalently binding to the epoxy BMB surface.
Example 6: assay using barcoded magnetic beads followed by washing with citrate buffer: coupling of biomolecular probes with barcoded magnetic beads:
about 0.2mL (volume may vary from about 0.1mL to about 500 mL) of BMB suspended in a storage buffer was added to a 1mL centrifuge tube on a magnet rack to provide a concentration of about 1,00,000BMB/mL (the concentration may range from about 1,00,000BMB/mL to about 3x 10) 6 BMB/mL)。
BMB suitable for this process is BMB prepared from SU-8, an epoxy negative photoresist (commercially available from Applied BioCode Inc. of St.Fei Prins, calif.). BMB is provided in a storage buffer containing sodium chloride (0.8%), potassium chloride (0.02%), disodium hydrogen phosphate (0.144%), monopotassium hydrogen phosphate (0.024%), tween-20 (0.05%), and ProClin-950 (0.1%).
Liquid was removed from each centrifuge tube with a pipette, and then about 0.2mL DMSO (commercially available from Sigma Aldrich corporation of st. The tube was vortexed vigorously for 10 seconds, returned to the magnet holder, allowed to stand for 1 minute, and the DMSO removed with a pipette. The washing process was repeated 2 more times. In one embodiment, about 0.2mL DMSO is then added to each tube, the tube vortexed vigorously, and left to stand on the mixer for 4 hours at room temperature. Mixing at room temperature for 4 hours is optional.
After mixing, the tube was removed and placed on a magnet holder, allowed to stand for 1 minute, DMSO was removed with a pipette, and about 0.2mL of about 150mM EPPS buffer (pH about 9.0) was added to the tube. Then, the tube containing BMB in EPPS buffer was vortexed vigorously for 10 seconds, placed back on the magnet holder, and the EPPS buffer was removed with a pipette. The washing process was repeated 2 more times. After the final wash with EPPS, BMB was coated with peptides or antibodies, respectively, as described in sections (a) and (B) below, such that each peptide and antibody bound to BMB with a different barcode.
(A) Coating BMB with peptide
Peptides (biochemical probes) using antibodies (e.g., peptides derived from the protein sequence of phagocytic anaplasma, platy anaplasma, canine anaplasma, especially elctrocera or borrelia, as described above) capable of specifically binding to antibodies of the patient against anaplasma, elctrocera or borrelia are synthesized using cysteines attached to the N-terminus of each peptide via a PEG12 linker, except that peptides derived from borrelia with N-terminal cysteines do not use a PEG linker. About 200. Mu.L of about 0.1mM solution of each peptide was added to the tube containing the EPPS washed BMB. The resulting BMB suspension was turned upside down at room temperature for about 2 hours in the dark. After this time, the tube containing BMB was placed on a magnetic rack and the solvent was removed with a pipette. BMB was then washed by brief vortexing with about 0.2mL of a solution of about 1.8mM disodium hydrogen phosphate, about 8.4mM sodium dihydrogen phosphate, about 145nM sodium chloride, and about 0.05% Tween-20, followed by removal of the solvent. This procedure was repeated 2 times.
(B) Coating BMB with antibodies
About 200 μl of an antibody (biochemical probe) capable of specifically binding to an antigen from heartworm (heartworm canitis) circulating in the blood of an infected animal at a concentration of about 10mg/mL (the concentration of the antibody may range from about 1.5mg/mL to about 12.0 mg/mL) was added to the tube containing the BMB. The resulting BMB suspension was turned upside down at room temperature for about 2 hours in the dark. After this time, the tube containing BMB was placed on a magnetic rack and the solvent was removed with a pipette. BMB was then washed by brief vortexing with about 0.2mL of a solution of about 1.8mM disodium hydrogen phosphate, about 8.4mM sodium dihydrogen phosphate, about 145nM sodium chloride and about 0.05% Tween-20, followed by removal of the solvent. This procedure was repeated 2 times.
And (3) measuring:
BMB coated with biomolecular probes described in (a) or (B) above (65,000BMB/mL in assay buffer (1.0% BSA, 0.05% Tween, 0.05% proclin 950 in PBS)) were mixed to create a multiplex BMB mixture. The multiplex BMB mixture was further diluted in assay buffer to achieve a concentration of 500BMB/mL for each biomolecular probe.
Approximately 100 μl of this diluted multiplex BMB mixture (i.e., approximately 50 beads per biomolecular probe) was added to each well of a 96-well plate using an integral automatic pipette (commercially available from Integra Biosciences company of Hudson, new hampshire, usa). BMB was washed in a 405-TS plate washer (commercially available from Vanuus, buddha) ) The top was washed with 300. Mu.L of 0.05% Tween-20 in PBS and soaked for 10 seconds, and 5 washes were performed. After the last wash, excess supernatant remained on the plate after the wash.
mu.L of sample (serum or plasma, pure) was added to BMB in each well on a 96-well plate. The plate was then placed on a flat plate mixer and mixed at 1,000rpm for 30 minutes. After 30 minutes of incubation, BMB was washed with 300. Mu.L of 0.05% Tween-20 in PBS and soaked for 10 seconds.
50. Mu.L of each biotinylated peptide (2.0. Mu.g/mL, i.e., the same peptide used as a biomolecular probe) or biotinylated anti-heartworm antibody (1.0. Mu.g/mL) in 1.0% BSA, 0.05% Tween, 0.05% Proclin 950 (in PBS) was added to each well of a 96-well plate. The plates were then placed on a flat plate mixer and mixed for 15 minutes. After 15 minutes of incubation, BMB was washed with 300. Mu.L of 0.05% Tween-20 in PBS and soaked for 10 seconds.
mu.L of SA-PE (8.0. Mu.g/mL, commercially available from MOSS Inc. of Pasadena, mallotus, USA, catalog number: SAPERP 01) was added to each well of the 96-well plate. The plates were then placed on a flat plate mixer and mixed for 10 minutes. After 10 minutes of incubation, BMB was washed with 300. Mu.L of 0.05% Tween-20 in PBS and soaked for 10 seconds.
The resulting BMB is then treated in either of two ways.
In the first method, to each well of a 96-well plate, are added:
(i) About 200. Mu.L of buffer (commercially available from Applied BioCode Inc., st. Fei Springs, calif., catalog number 44-D0004-500) (standard read buffer).
In the second method, to each well of a 96-well plate, are added:
(ii) About 200. Mu.L of a citric acid buffer solution (citrate read buffer) containing trisodium citrate dihydrate (0.485M), citric acid (0.015M), sodium chloride (0.1M), proclin 950 (0.5 mL/L) at a pH of 6.1-6.3.
Ionic strength is an important factor in allowing the stability of immune complexes formed on the bead surface. Without wishing to be bound by theory, it is believed that the stabilization is due to the high salt concentration making the solution undesirably dissociable. Salts other than citrate can also work at high ionic strength, but their minimum concentration needs to be around 0.5M. However, other salts are undesirable in terms of production or transportation because they may precipitate from solution at temperatures below ambient. Advantageously, the mixture of citric acid buffer is kept in solution during storage or transport under refrigerated conditions.
Fluorescent use of each well2500 analyzer (BioCode company commercially available from san fei spellins, california).
The fluorescence intensity of each sample in each well of a 96-well plate (i.e., a plate with 12 columns (1-12) and 8 rows (a-H)) was determined. Fig. 1 illustrates the signal intensity observed with a read buffer containing standard (fig. 1A) and with a citrate read buffer (fig. 1B). In the experiment, each well of a 96-well plate (i.e., a plate having 12 columns (1-12) and 8 rows (a-H)) was filled with the same BMB (e.g., each item bound to a bead, as described above), and each well read from column 1 (i.e., wells 1A through 1H) to column 12 (i.e., wells 12A through 12H). The time required to read the fluorescence of all wells in a 96-well plate (i.e., wells 1A through 12H) was about 37 minutes. As shown in fig. 1A, when the standard read buffer (i.e., the citrate-free buffer) is used, i.e., method (i), the signal intensity gradually decreases from the start of the read cycle to the end of the read cycle (about 37 minutes). In contrast, as shown in fig. 1B, when the citrate read buffer, i.e., method (ii), was used, no decrease in signal intensity was observed from the start of the read cycle to the end of the read cycle (about 37 minutes). In the assay for antibodies specific to each of the anaplasma derived peptides (designated "AP", "Aph" and "Apl" on the X-axis of fig. 1A and 1B), a decrease in signal intensity occurs during the read cycle when citrate-free buffers (e.g., standard read buffers) are used, but not when citrate-containing buffers (e.g., citrate read buffers) are used.
Fig. 1 shows that contacting BMB with citrate buffer prior to reading fluorescence is advantageous in avoiding fluorescence decrease over time as compared to other buffers.
In assays directed against antibodies specific for peptides derived from canine ehrlichia, eulizidine, and in assays directed against borrelia burgdorferi, similar effects of standard and citric acid read buffer on signal intensity over time were observed (not shown).
