Description

本発明は、食中毒菌の迅速検出方法、詳細には、便中のカンピロバクターの迅速検出方法に関する。   The present invention relates to a rapid detection method for food poisoning bacteria, and more particularly to a rapid detection method for Campylobacter in feces.

カンピロバクター腸炎は、カンピロバクター(Campylobacter)に汚染された食品を摂食することにより引き起こされる細菌性食中毒の1つであり、その発生件数は、わが国で発生している細菌性食中毒の中で最も多い。現在、カンピロバクター腸炎の診断は、細菌培養法により患者便からカンピロバクターを検出することにより実施されているが、それは煩雑な操作と最低2日の培養期間を必要とする。   Campylobacter enteritis is one of the bacterial food poisonings caused by eating food contaminated with Campylobacter, and the incidence is the largest among the bacterial food poisonings occurring in Japan. Currently, the diagnosis of Campylobacter enteritis is carried out by detecting Campylobacter from the patient's stool by a bacterial culture method, which requires a complicated operation and a culture period of at least 2 days.

カンピロバクター腸炎の2大原因菌はカンピロバクター・ジェジュニ(Campylobacter jejuni)およびカンピロバクター・コリ(Campylobacter coli)であるが、患者から分離されるカンピロバクターの95〜99%はC. jejuniであり、C. coliは数%に過ぎない。従って、C. jejuniがカンピロバクター腸炎の主要原因菌であり、これはLiorの血清型別システムにより数十種類の血清型に分類される。他のカンピロバクター菌種では、カンピロバクター・ラリ(Campylobacter lari)及びカンピロバクター・アプサリエンシス(Campylobacter upsaliensis)が、その発生は非常に稀であるが、ヒト腸炎との関連が報告されている。従って、検出率や診断精度を高めるためには、カンピロバクター属に対して特異性が高く、しかもこれらのヒト腸炎の原因となるカンピロバクターに属する広範な菌種(広範なカンピロバクター血清型)を検出できる方法が必要とされている。   Campylobacter enteritis has two major causative organisms: Campylobacter jejuni and Campylobacter coli, but 95-99% of Campylobacter isolates from patients are C. jejuni, and C. coli is a number It is only%. Therefore, C. jejuni is the main causative agent of Campylobacter enteritis, which is classified into several tens of serotypes by Lior's serotyping system. In other Campylobacter species, Campylobacter lari and Campylobacter upsaliensis are very rare but have been reported to be associated with human enteritis. Therefore, in order to increase the detection rate and diagnostic accuracy, it is highly specific for Campylobacter and can detect a wide range of bacterial species (a wide range of Campylobacter serotypes) belonging to Campylobacter that cause these human enteritis. Is needed.

上記のような問題を解決するために、これまでに様々な検出方法が開発されてきたが、カンピロバクター属に対して特異性が高く、カンピロバクターに属する広範な菌種(広範なカンピロバクター血清型)を検出でき、しかも迅速に検出を行うことのできる方法はなかった。例えば、本発明と同様にモノクローナル抗体を用いてカンピロバクターを検出しようとする試みもいくつかあったが(非特許文献1〜3参照)、これらの方法に用いられる抗体は、カンピロバクター以外の菌にも反応してしまう、C. jejuniの一部の血清型には反応しない、1種類ではサンドイッチ検出系を構築できない等の問題がある。また、ELISA法を用いる方法もあるが(非特許文献4参照)、迅速性および簡便性の点で満足とはいえない。

In order to solve the above problems, various detection methods have been developed so far, but it is highly specific for Campylobacter, and a wide range of species belonging to Campylobacter (a wide range of Campylobacter serotypes). There was no method that could detect and quickly detect. For example, there were some attempts to detect Campylobacter using a monoclonal antibody as in the present invention (see Non-Patent Documents 1 to 3), but antibodies used in these methods are also used for bacteria other than Campylobacter. There is a problem that it does not react with some serotypes of C. jejuni, which does not react, and a single type cannot construct a sandwich detection system. In addition, there is a method using an ELISA method (see Non-Patent Document 4), but it is not satisfactory in terms of speed and simplicity.

便中のカンピロバクターを迅速かつ高精度、かつ高特異性でもって検出する方法、そのためのキット等を提供することが本発明の課題である。   It is an object of the present invention to provide a method for detecting Campylobacter in stool quickly, with high accuracy and high specificity, a kit for that purpose, and the like.

本発明者らは上記事情に鑑みて鋭意研究を重ね、カンピロバクター腸炎の主要原因菌であるC. jejuniの菌体表面タンパク質に対するマウスモノクローナル抗体を新たに作出し、それを用いることにより患者便抽出液中のカンピロバクター抗原を15分以内に簡便に検出することが可能であること、この抗体がカンピロバクター特異的であり、しかもカンピロバクター属の広範な種(広範な血清型)をカバーするものであること等を見出し、本発明を完成するに至った。   In light of the above circumstances, the present inventors have made extensive studies and newly created a mouse monoclonal antibody against the cell surface protein of C. jejuni, the main causative bacterium of Campylobacter enteritis, and by using it, a patient stool extract is used. Campylobacter antigen can be easily detected within 15 minutes, and this antibody is specific to Campylobacter and covers a wide range of Campylobacter species (wide serotypes) As a result, the present invention has been completed.

本発明によれば、便中のカンピロバクター属の様々な菌種(広範な血清型)を迅速かつ高精度、かつ高特異性で検出することができるので、本発明は、カンピロバクター食中毒の診断薬や診断キットの製造分野において利用可能である。本発明の検出方法は、一度に多くの検体を処理するハイスループット分析にも適したものである。   According to the present invention, various bacterial species of the genus Campylobacter (a wide range of serotypes) in stool can be detected quickly, with high accuracy, and with high specificity. Therefore, the present invention provides a diagnostic agent for Campylobacter food poisoning, It can be used in the field of manufacturing diagnostic kits. The detection method of the present invention is also suitable for high-throughput analysis in which many samples are processed at once.

本発明は、1の態様において、モノクローナル抗体4B4と便試料とを反応させることを特徴とする、便中のカンピロバクターの検出方法に関するものである。本発明において新たに取得されたモノクローナル抗体4B4は、カンピロバクター菌体表面タンパク質に特異的に結合する。しかも、カンピロバクター属の多くの菌種(広範な血清型)の菌体表面タンパク質に結合する。したがって、モノクローナル抗体4B4を用いれば、カンピロバクターに属する多くの種の細菌(広範な血清型)を特異的に検出することが可能である。そのうえ、モノクローナル抗体4B4は、後述のごとく、それのみを用いてイムノクロマトグラフィー(本明細書において「イムノクロマト」と略称することがある)やサンドイッチELISAのようなサンドイッチ検出を行うことができる。その理由は、モノクローナル抗体4B4がカンピロバクター菌体表面タンパク質の2つまたはそれ以上の部位に結合するためと考えられる。   In one aspect, the present invention relates to a method for detecting Campylobacter in feces, which comprises reacting monoclonal antibody 4B4 with a fecal sample. The monoclonal antibody 4B4 newly obtained in the present invention specifically binds to Campylobacter cell surface protein. In addition, it binds to cell surface proteins of many species of Campylobacter species (wide serotype). Therefore, by using the monoclonal antibody 4B4, it is possible to specifically detect many types of bacteria (wide serotype) belonging to Campylobacter. Moreover, as described later, the monoclonal antibody 4B4 can be used alone to perform sandwich detection such as immunochromatography (sometimes abbreviated as “immunochromatography” in this specification) or sandwich ELISA. The reason is considered that the monoclonal antibody 4B4 binds to two or more sites of the Campylobacter cell surface protein.

モノクローナル抗体4B4と便試料との反応とは、モノクローナル抗体4B4と便試料中に存在するカンピロバクター属細菌の表面タンパク質とが特異的に反応し、結合することを意味する。   The reaction between the monoclonal antibody 4B4 and the stool sample means that the monoclonal antibody 4B4 and the surface protein of Campylobacter bacterium present in the stool sample specifically react and bind to each other.

本発明において分析される試料としては、動物、特にヒトの糞便が挙げられる。   Samples to be analyzed in the present invention include animals, particularly human feces.

モノクローナル抗体4B4は、本発明により得られたマウスハイブリドーマCJ−4B4によって産生される抗体である。マウスハイブリドーマCJ−4B4は、2007年9月19日に、日本国茨城県つくば市東1丁目1番地1中央第6の独立行政法人 産業技術総合研究所 特許生物寄託センターに寄託され、受領番号FERM AP−21368が付与された。上記ハイブリドーマおよびモノクローナル抗体4B4は本発明に包含される。   Monoclonal antibody 4B4 is an antibody produced by murine hybridoma CJ-4B4 obtained according to the present invention. Mouse hybridoma CJ-4B4 was deposited on September 19, 2007 at the Patent Organism Depositary, National Institute of Advanced Industrial Science and Technology (AIST), 1-1-1 Higashi 1-chome, Tsukuba, Ibaraki, Japan. -21368. The hybridoma and monoclonal antibody 4B4 are included in the present invention.

本発明は、もう1つの態様において、(a)検出可能な標識を付したモノクローナル抗体4B4を試料と反応させて複合体を形成させること、次いで、(b)(a)で得られた複合体を、固相上に固定化されたモノクローナル抗体4B4と反応させて、形成されたさらなる複合体を該標識を用いて検出することを特徴とする、カンピロバクターの検出方法に関するものである。前述のように、モノクローナル抗体4B4は、それのみを用いることでイムノクロマトやサンドイッチELISA(通常、これらの手法は2種類以上の抗体を使用する必要があるが、それに適した優れた抗体を2種類以上作出することは容易ではない)などのサンドイッチ検出を行うことができるので、検出系の開発を容易にする。   In another embodiment, the present invention provides (a) reacting a monoclonal antibody 4B4 with a detectable label with a sample to form a complex, and then (b) the complex obtained in (a). Is reacted with monoclonal antibody 4B4 immobilized on a solid phase, and a further complex formed is detected using the label, which relates to a method for detecting Campylobacter. As described above, monoclonal antibody 4B4 can be used alone for immunochromatography or sandwich ELISA (usually, these methods require the use of two or more types of antibodies, but two or more types of excellent antibodies suitable for them are used. (It is not easy to create) and the like can be detected, which facilitates the development of a detection system.

先ず、検出可能な標識を付したモノクローナル抗体4B4と試料とを反応させて複合体を形成させる。この工程において、試料中のカンピロバクター菌体表面タンパク質あるいはカンピロバクターから遊離した表面タンパク質とモノクローナル抗体4B4とが反応して結合し、複合体が形成される。検出可能な標識としては、金コロイド、酵素(例えば、ペルオキシダーゼ、アルカリホスファターゼ、ルシフェラーゼ)、蛍光基(例えば、FITC)、発光基(例えば、アクリジニウムなど)、放射性同位元素(例えば、32P、35S、H)などが挙げられるが、これらに限らない。モノクローナル抗体4B4と標識の結合方法は当業者に公知であり、例えば、共有結合を介して抗体に標識を結合させることができる。当業者は、標識の種類や検出方法に応じて結合方法を適宜選択して用いることができる。標識の検出についても肉眼観察、分光学的処方による検出、放射能カウントなど、様々であり、やはり当業者が適宜検出方法を選択することができる。 First, a monoclonal antibody 4B4 with a detectable label is reacted with a sample to form a complex. In this step, the Campylobacter cell surface protein in the sample or the surface protein released from Campylobacter reacts and binds to the monoclonal antibody 4B4 to form a complex. Detectable labels include colloidal gold, enzymes (eg, peroxidase, alkaline phosphatase, luciferase), fluorescent groups (eg, FITC), luminescent groups (eg, acridinium), radioisotopes (eg, 32 P, 35 S). , 3 H) and the like. A method for binding the monoclonal antibody 4B4 and the label is known to those skilled in the art. For example, the label can be bound to the antibody via a covalent bond. A person skilled in the art can appropriately select and use a binding method according to the type of label and the detection method. There are various label detection methods such as visual observation, detection by spectroscopic prescription, and radioactivity count, and those skilled in the art can appropriately select a detection method.

次に、得られた複合体と固相に固定化されたモノクローナル抗体4B4とを反応させる。上記複合体が存在する場合には、固相に固定化されたモノクローナル抗体と上記複合体中のカンピロバクター表面タンパク質とが反応してさらなる複合体が形成される。モノクローナル抗体4B4の固相への固定化方法は公知であり、検出手段・方法に応じて適宜選択されうる。典型的な固定化方法としては、例えば、物理的吸着法、化学的結合法など挙げられる。上記さらなる複合体の検出方法としては、例えばイムノクロマト法やサンドイッチELISA法などが一般的であり、本発明においても使用可能である。また、ラテックス粒子にモノクローマル抗体4B4を結合させて、これを試料と混合し、顕微鏡観察により凝集の有無を調べることも可能である。本発明における検出方法としては、イムノクロマト法が迅速性の点から好ましいが、これらの方法に限られず、当業者は様々な方法を適用することができる。   Next, the obtained complex is reacted with the monoclonal antibody 4B4 immobilized on the solid phase. When the complex is present, the monoclonal antibody immobilized on the solid phase reacts with the Campylobacter surface protein in the complex to form a further complex. The method for immobilizing the monoclonal antibody 4B4 on the solid phase is known and can be appropriately selected depending on the detection means and method. Examples of typical immobilization methods include physical adsorption methods and chemical bonding methods. As a method for detecting the further complex, for example, an immunochromatography method or a sandwich ELISA method is generally used and can also be used in the present invention. It is also possible to bind the monoclonal antibody 4B4 to latex particles, mix this with a sample, and examine the presence or absence of aggregation by microscopic observation. As a detection method in the present invention, immunochromatography is preferable from the viewpoint of rapidity, but is not limited to these methods, and those skilled in the art can apply various methods.

本発明のカンピロバクターの検出方法において、便試料を界面活性剤にて処理してから、モノクローナル抗体4B4と接触させてもよい。モノクローナル抗体4B4と反応するカンピロバクターの菌体表面タンパク質は、界面活性剤処理により容易に菌体から遊離される性質を有する。使用されうる界面活性剤としては特に制限はないが、モノクローナル抗体4B4により認識されなくなるほどカンピロバクターの菌体表面タンパク質の構造を変化させるものは好ましくない。界面活性剤としては陰イオン系界面活性剤(脂肪酸塩、アルファスルホ脂肪酸エステルナトリウムなど)、陽イオン系界面活性剤(アルキルトリメチルアンモニウム塩、ジアルキルジメチルアンモニウム塩など)、両性イオン界面活性剤(アルキルアミノ脂肪酸塩、アルキルベタイン、アルキルアミンオキシドなど)、非イオン系界面活性剤(ショ糖脂肪酸エステルソルビタン脂肪酸エステル、ポリオキシエチレンソルビタン脂肪酸エステル、脂肪酸アルカノールアミドなど)があり、いずれの種類の界面活性剤でも使用可能である。多種多様な界面活性剤が市販されている。例えば、商品名ノニデット、トライトンX、プルロニック、ツインなどの商品名で市販されているものがある。使用される界面活性剤の濃度は、界面活性剤の種類によって異なるが、当業者であれば容易に決定しうる。なお、界面活性剤を有効成分とするタンパク質抽出剤を本発明に使用することもできる。本明細書において、界面活性剤を有効成分とするタンパク質抽出剤を「界面活性剤」に含めることとする。界面活性剤を有効成分とするタンパク質抽出剤は多くの種類があり、市販されている。界面活性剤を有効成分とする市販のタンパク質抽出剤としてはB-PER Bacterial Protein Extraction Reagent(PIERCE, Rockford, IL)、B-PER II Bacterial Protein Extraction Reagent(PIERCE)、BugBuster Protein Extraction Reagent(EMD Chemicals, San Diego, CA)などが例示される。   In the Campylobacter detection method of the present invention, the stool sample may be treated with a surfactant and then contacted with the monoclonal antibody 4B4. The cell surface protein of Campylobacter that reacts with the monoclonal antibody 4B4 has a property that it can be easily released from the cell by treatment with a surfactant. There are no particular limitations on the surfactant that can be used, but those that change the structure of the cell surface protein of Campylobacter so that it is not recognized by the monoclonal antibody 4B4 are not preferred. Surfactants include anionic surfactants (fatty acid salts, sodium alphasulfo fatty acid ester, etc.), cationic surfactants (alkyltrimethylammonium salts, dialkyldimethylammonium salts, etc.), zwitterionic surfactants (alkylamino) Fatty acid salts, alkylbetaines, alkylamine oxides, etc.), nonionic surfactants (sucrose fatty acid ester sorbitan fatty acid ester, polyoxyethylene sorbitan fatty acid ester, fatty acid alkanolamide, etc.), any type of surfactant It can be used. A wide variety of surfactants are commercially available. For example, there are those marketed under trade names such as trade names Nonidet, Triton X, Pluronic, and Twin. The concentration of the surfactant used varies depending on the type of the surfactant, but can be easily determined by those skilled in the art. In addition, the protein extractant which uses surfactant as an active ingredient can also be used for this invention. In the present specification, a protein extractant containing a surfactant as an active ingredient is included in the “surfactant”. There are many types of protein extractants containing surfactants as active ingredients and are commercially available. Commercial protein extractants with surfactants as active ingredients include B-PER Bacterial Protein Extraction Reagent (PIERCE, Rockford, IL), B-PER II Bacterial Protein Extraction Reagent (PIERCE), BugBuster Protein Extraction Reagent (EMD Chemicals, San Diego, CA).

便中のカンピロバクターを免疫学的分析方法を用いて検出する場合、水または適当な緩衝液で希釈していわゆる乳剤状態とし、遠心分離を行うことにより滓を除去してからカンピロバクター検出手順に供するのが望ましいが、遠心分離によって大部分の菌体も滓とともに除去されてしまい、検出感度が低下するという問題がある。しかし、モノクローナル抗体4B4と反応するカンピロバクターの菌体表面タンパク質は、界面活性剤処理により容易に菌体から遊離される性質を有するので、界面活性剤処理後に遠心分離を行うことにより、菌体が滓とともに除去されても表面タンパク質は上清中に残り、上清を以後の検出操作に用いることで検出感度の向上を図ることができる。   When detecting Campylobacter in stool using an immunological analysis method, dilute it with water or a suitable buffer to form a so-called emulsion, and remove the sputum by centrifugation and use it for the Campylobacter detection procedure. However, there is a problem that most of the cells are removed together with the sputum by centrifugation and the detection sensitivity is lowered. However, since the cell surface protein of Campylobacter that reacts with the monoclonal antibody 4B4 has a property that it can be easily released from the cell by the surfactant treatment, the cell is removed by centrifugation after the surfactant treatment. Even if it is removed together, the surface protein remains in the supernatant, and the detection sensitivity can be improved by using the supernatant for the subsequent detection operation.

界面活性剤を用いる代わりに、上記の乳剤状態の試料をサンプルパッドなどのフィルターに適用し、滓を除去することもできる。この場合、界面活性剤は使用しても、使用しなくてもよい(表面タンパク質が菌体に付いたままであっても、イムノクロマト法や他の方法にて検出可能な場合がある)。   Instead of using a surfactant, the above emulsion sample can be applied to a filter such as a sample pad to remove wrinkles. In this case, the surfactant may or may not be used (even if the surface protein remains attached to the microbial cells, it may be detectable by immunochromatography or other methods).

これらの前処理方法はどのような試料にも適用可能であるが、試料がヒトの便である場合に特に効果的である。   These pretreatment methods can be applied to any sample, but are particularly effective when the sample is human feces.

本発明は、もう1つの態様において、上で説明した本発明の方法を用いてカンピロバクターを検出するためのキットに関するものである。本発明のキットはモノクローナル抗体4B4を必須構成成分として含むものである。本発明のキットは、例えば、イムノクロマト用のパーツ、試料処理のための界面活性剤、あるいはサンプルパッドなどを含んでいてもよい。本発明を構成する成分はこれらのものには限定されない。本発明のキットはハイスループット検査用であってもよい。通常、キットには取扱説明書が添付される。   In another aspect, the present invention relates to a kit for detecting Campylobacter using the method of the present invention described above. The kit of the present invention contains monoclonal antibody 4B4 as an essential component. The kit of the present invention may contain, for example, parts for immunochromatography, a surfactant for sample processing, or a sample pad. The components constituting the present invention are not limited to these. The kit of the present invention may be for high-throughput testing. Usually, an instruction manual is attached to the kit.

以下に実施例を示して本発明をより詳細かつ具体的に説明するが、実施例はあくまでも例示説明のためのものであって、本発明の範囲を限定するものではない。   The present invention will be described in more detail and specifically with reference to the following examples. However, the examples are for illustrative purposes only and do not limit the scope of the present invention.

(XII)イムノクロマト法に使用可能なモノクローナル抗体の選定
上で大量調製したモノクローナル抗体からイムノクロマト法に使用可能な抗体を選別し、そのアイソタイプを決定した。手順は下記のとおり。
(1)大量調製した12種類のモノクローナル抗体のそれぞれを用いて、12種類の抗体固相化メンブレン(作製法は後記)と12種類の金コロイド標識抗体(作製法は後記)を作製した。
(2)144通りの抗体固相化メンブレンと金コロイド標識抗体の組み合わせのそれぞれについて、C. jejuni (Lior血清型7)の菌体抽出抗原を検出対象にしてイムノクロマト法を実施した。
(3)その結果、144通りの組み合わせの中で、1通りのみ(抗体固相化メンブレンも金コロイド標識抗体も、共に同じ抗体の組み合わせ)が陽性反応を示した。この抗体を4B4抗体と命名した。4B4抗体をカンピロバクターの迅速検出法に使用することにした。
(XII) Selection of monoclonal antibodies that can be used for immunochromatography The antibodies that can be used for immunochromatography were selected from the monoclonal antibodies that were prepared in large quantities, and their isotypes were determined. The procedure is as follows.
(1) Using each of the 12 types of monoclonal antibodies prepared in large quantities, 12 types of antibody-immobilized membranes (production method will be described later) and 12 types of gold colloid-labeled antibodies (production method will be described later) were prepared.
(2) For each of 144 combinations of antibody-immobilized membranes and colloidal gold-labeled antibodies, immunochromatography was performed using C. jejuni (Lior serotype 7) cell extract antigens as detection targets.
(3) As a result, of 144 combinations, only one (both antibody-immobilized membrane and colloidal gold labeled antibody were the same antibody combination) showed a positive reaction. This antibody was named 4B4 antibody. We decided to use the 4B4 antibody for rapid detection of Campylobacter.

この実験により、モノクローナル抗体4B4は、イムノクロマト法などのサンドイッチ法に、4B4抗体1種のみで使用可能であることがわかった。通常、イムノクロマト法などのサンドイッチ法には2種類以上の抗体を必要とするのが、それに適した優れた抗体を2種類以上作出することは容易ではない。従って、この4B4の性質は、イムノクロマト法などのサンドイッチ法を利用した菌の検出系の開発作業を容易なものとする。   From this experiment, it was found that the monoclonal antibody 4B4 can be used in a sandwich method such as an immunochromatography method with only one type of 4B4 antibody. Usually, sandwich methods such as immunochromatography require two or more types of antibodies, but it is not easy to produce two or more types of excellent antibodies suitable for them. Therefore, this 4B4 property facilitates the development of a bacteria detection system using a sandwich method such as an immunochromatography method.

上記実験で得られた、モノクローナル抗体4B4を産生するハイブリドーマ(CJ−4B4)は、茨城県つくば市東1−1−1 つくばセンター 中央第6の、独立行政法人産業技術総合研究所 特許生物寄託センターに、2007年9月19日に受領され、受領番号FERM AP−21368を付与された。   The hybridoma (CJ-4B4) that produces the monoclonal antibody 4B4 obtained in the above experiment has been established at the Patent Organism Depositary, National Institute of Advanced Industrial Science and Technology, Tsukuba Center, 1-1-1, Tsukuba Center, Tsukuba City, Ibaraki Prefecture. , Received on September 19, 2007 and has been given the receipt number FERM AP-21368.

モノクローナル抗体4B4抗体は、試験したカンピロバクター属の5菌種のうち3菌種と反応したが、カンピロバクター属以外の細菌とは反応しなかった。表1〜表3の結果をあわせると、モノクローナル抗体4B4を用いた場合、カンピロバクター腸炎患者から分離される頻度が非常に高いC. jejuniのみならず、患者から分離される頻度はC. jejuniほど高くないがカンピロバクター腸炎の原因菌であるC. coliについてもC. jejuniと同程度の検出感度で検出できることがわかった。また、その発生は希であるが、ヒト腸炎との関連が報告されているC. lariおよびC. upsaliensisについても、C. jejuni、と同程度の検出感度で検出できることもわかった。したがって、モノクローナル抗体4B4はカンピロバクター属の細菌に対して特異性が高く、またヒト腸炎の原因となる広範なカンピロバクター属の菌種(広範な血清型)を検出できるので、カンピロバクター腸炎の診断を、漏れなく正確に行うのに好適なものであることがわかった。   The monoclonal antibody 4B4 antibody reacted with 3 of the 5 species of Campylobacter tested, but did not react with bacteria other than Campylobacter. When the results of Tables 1 to 3 are combined, when the monoclonal antibody 4B4 is used, not only C. jejuni, which is very frequently separated from patients with Campylobacter enteritis, but also as frequently as C. jejuni. However, it was found that C. coli, the causative agent of Campylobacter enteritis, can be detected with the same detection sensitivity as C. jejuni. It was also found that the occurrence of C. lari and C. upsaliensis, which is rarely observed but related to human enterocolitis, can be detected with the same detection sensitivity as C. jejuni. Therefore, monoclonal antibody 4B4 is highly specific for Campylobacter bacteria and can detect a wide range of Campylobacter species (wide serotypes) that cause human enteritis. It was found to be suitable for performing accurately.

なお、本明細書に記載した実施例における寒天培地上での細菌の培養は以下のようにして行った。

先ず、タンパク質抽出剤(B-PER II Bacterial Protein Extraction Reagent(PIERCE)、50%)を含有する水に患者大便試料を懸濁して乳剤を得た。この操作により、試料中にカンピロバクターが存在する場合には、カンピロバクター菌体表面の4B4抗原タンパク質が遊離される。乳剤を遠心分離して菌体を沈降させて上清を得た。上清中に4B4抗原タンパク質の大部分が存在する。上清を本発明のモノクローナル抗体4B4(金コロイド標識したもの)と反応させて複合体を形成させた。このようにして得られた複合体を含む上清を、常法によりイムノクロマトにかけた。イムノクロマトの固相にも4B4抗体をバンド状に固定化しておいた(物理的吸着法により固定化)。約15分置くと、上記複合体と固相の4B4抗体との間でさらなる複合体が形成され、上記標識により検出可能となったバンドが出現した。このバンドの出現により試料中にカンピロバクターが存在すること(陽性であること)がわかった。この実験の手順の概略を図2に示す。
Detection of Campylobacter from Human Feces First, a patient stool sample was suspended in water containing a protein extractant (B-PER II Bacterial Protein Extraction Reagent (PIERCE), 50%) to obtain an emulsion. By this operation, when Campylobacter is present in the sample, 4B4 antigen protein on the surface of Campylobacter is released. The emulsion was centrifuged to settle the cells, and a supernatant was obtained. The majority of 4B4 antigen protein is present in the supernatant. The supernatant was reacted with the monoclonal antibody 4B4 of the present invention (labeled with colloidal gold) to form a complex. The supernatant containing the complex thus obtained was subjected to immunochromatography by a conventional method. The 4B4 antibody was also immobilized in a band shape on the immunochromatographic solid phase (immobilized by physical adsorption). After about 15 minutes, a further complex was formed between the complex and the solid phase 4B4 antibody, and a band that was detectable by the label appeared. The appearance of this band showed that Campylobacter was present in the sample (positive). An outline of the procedure of this experiment is shown in FIG.

本発明によれば、このような簡単な操作手順により、短時間のうちに便中のカンピロバクターの有無を判定することができる。便を採取してから乳剤の調製、遠心分離、4B4抗体との混合、イムノクロマトを含む一連の操作を行っても、通常であれば30分以内に終了し、従来の便からのカンピロバクター検出方法が最低でも2日間を要することをからすれば、大変な時間短縮となる。   According to the present invention, the presence or absence of Campylobacter in the stool can be determined in a short time by such a simple operation procedure. Even if a series of operations including preparation of emulsion, centrifugation, mixing with 4B4 antibody, and immunochromatography are performed after the stool is collected, it is usually completed within 30 minutes, and conventional methods for detecting Campylobacter from stool are available. If it takes at least two days, it will save a lot of time.

実施例で説明した実験において用いたその他の実験手法は当業者に公知のものであるか、公知の手法を当業者が容易に変更して行いうるものである。   Other experimental methods used in the experiments described in the examples are known to those skilled in the art or can be easily modified by those skilled in the art.

本発明は、便中のカンピロバクターの迅速検出方法を提供するので、カンピロバクター検査薬、検査キット等の分野において利用可能である。   Since the present invention provides a rapid detection method of Campylobacter in feces, it can be used in the fields of Campylobacter test agents, test kits and the like.
