Description

本発明は、標識試薬と抗体との非特異的な反応を抑制するブロッキング剤に関する。さらに詳しくは、蛍光色素で標識した試料中の抗原を、抗原抗体反応を利用して検出する方法において、蛍光色素と抗体との非特異的な反応を抑制するためのブロッキング剤に関する。また、本発明は、前記ブロッキング剤を用いたタンパク質検出方法及びタンパク質検出装置に関する。   The present invention relates to a blocking agent that suppresses nonspecific reaction between a labeling reagent and an antibody. More specifically, the present invention relates to a blocking agent for suppressing a nonspecific reaction between a fluorescent dye and an antibody in a method of detecting an antigen in a sample labeled with a fluorescent dye using an antigen-antibody reaction. The present invention also relates to a protein detection method and protein detection apparatus using the blocking agent.

免疫反応を利用して試料中の目的抗原を検出する方法において、試料を蛍光色素と結合させて、試料中の目的抗原を蛍光標識し、抗原抗体複合体の標識蛍光色素を検出することにより、試料中の目的抗原を定性的にあるいは定量的に測定する方法が知られている。本方法において、試料中の抗原と結合しなかった蛍光色素(未反応蛍光色素)が試料中に残存すると、抗体に未反応蛍光色素が非特異的に結合し、バックグラウンドが高くなることが知られている。このような蛍光色素と抗体との非特異反応を防止し、蛍光検出時のバックグラウンドを低減するため、従来、当該未反応蛍光色素をゲル濾過カラムにより取り除き、試料の精製を行っていた。しかし、ゲルろ過カラムを用いて試料を精製すると時間がかかるうえに、工程も増えるという問題があり、測定の簡略化、スピード化が求められていた。
ここで、非特異的な反応によるバックグラウンドの低減を目的とする技術として次のような従来技術が知られている。特許文献1には、DNAマイクロアレイにおける非特異的に吸着した蛍光色素付DNA及び未精製蛍光色素誘導体などの影響を受けずに、消光剤を用いて従来よりも検出感度と再現性を向上させる方法が開示されている。そして、消光剤としては、蛍光共鳴エネルギー転移により蛍光を消光させる物質を用いるとあり、具体的には、DNP、テトラメチルローダミンなどが挙げられている。特許文献2には、ハイブリダイゼーション用の特定の固体支持体を調製し、非特異的バックグラウンドを低減する方法が開示されている。
しかし、抗体と未反応蛍光色素の非特異反応自体をブロックするようなブロッキング剤についてはなんら開示も示唆もされていない。
In the method of detecting a target antigen in a sample using an immune reaction, the sample is bound with a fluorescent dye, the target antigen in the sample is fluorescently labeled, and the labeled fluorescent dye of the antigen-antibody complex is detected, A method for measuring a target antigen in a sample qualitatively or quantitatively is known. In this method, it is known that if the fluorescent dye that has not bound to the antigen in the sample (unreacted fluorescent dye) remains in the sample, the unreacted fluorescent dye binds non-specifically to the antibody and the background increases. It has been. In order to prevent such non-specific reaction between the fluorescent dye and the antibody and reduce the background during fluorescence detection, conventionally, the unreacted fluorescent dye has been removed by a gel filtration column and the sample has been purified. However, when a sample is purified using a gel filtration column, there is a problem in that it takes time and the number of steps increases, and there has been a demand for simplification and speeding up of the measurement.
Here, the following conventional techniques are known as techniques for reducing the background due to non-specific reactions. Patent Document 1 discloses a method for improving detection sensitivity and reproducibility by using a quencher without being affected by nonspecifically adsorbed DNA with fluorescent dye and unpurified fluorescent dye derivative in a DNA microarray. Is disclosed. As a quencher, a substance that quenches fluorescence by fluorescence resonance energy transfer is used, and specifically, DNP, tetramethylrhodamine, and the like are mentioned. Patent Document 2 discloses a method for preparing a specific solid support for hybridization and reducing non-specific background.
However, there is no disclosure or suggestion of a blocking agent that blocks the non-specific reaction itself between the antibody and the unreacted fluorescent dye.
