Description

本発明は、免疫測定用キット及び免疫測定方法に関し、特に、洗浄工程を不要とすることで、短時間で検体中の測定対象物質の有無を検出又は測定対象物質を定量することができる免疫測定用キット及び免疫測定方法に関する。   The present invention relates to an immunoassay kit and an immunoassay method, and in particular, an immunoassay capable of detecting the presence or absence of a measurement target substance in a sample or quantifying the measurement target substance in a short time by eliminating a washing step. The present invention relates to a kit and an immunoassay method.

農畜産物、食品、食品添加物、飲料、医薬品、医薬部外品、化粧品などの製品または原料における菌学的安全性は、常に保証されている必要がある。そのため、製品または原料中の菌学的分析手法を利用した菌検査・定量が日常的に行われている。また、人間や動物等の健康状態を調べるために、血液及び尿等の体液や細胞等の生体組織(以下、「生体サンプル」と記載することがある。)に含まれる種々のアレルギー物質、ウィルス、タンパク質等の検査・定量も日常的に行われている。   The bacteriological safety of products or raw materials such as agricultural and livestock products, foods, food additives, beverages, pharmaceuticals, quasi-drugs and cosmetics must always be guaranteed. For this reason, bacterial inspection and quantification using a mycological analysis technique in products or raw materials are routinely performed. In addition, in order to examine the health condition of humans and animals, various allergens and viruses contained in body fluids such as blood and urine, and biological tissues such as cells (hereinafter sometimes referred to as “biological samples”). In addition, inspection and quantification of proteins and the like are also routinely performed.

製品または原料に含まれる菌検査・定量、生体サンプルの検査・定量方法としては、例えば、ELISA(Enzyme linked immunosorbent assay)、イムノクロマト法等の抗原−抗体反応を利用した物質の検査・定量方法が知られている。   Methods for testing and quantifying bacteria contained in products or raw materials and methods for testing and quantifying biological samples include, for example, methods for testing and quantifying substances using antigen-antibody reactions such as ELISA (Enzyme linked immunosorbent assay) and immunochromatography. It has been.

ELISAとは、以下の手順により、検体中の測定対象物質の有無を検出、又は測定対象物質を定量する方法である(非特許文献1参照)。
(1)マイクロプレート上に固定した1次抗体に抗原を結合させる。
(2)緩衝液を加えて洗浄した後、酵素等により修飾されている2次抗体を抗原に結合させる。
(3)非結合の2次抗体を緩衝液で洗浄・除去後、基質を加えることで2次抗体の酵素により発色する。
ELISA is a method for detecting the presence or absence of a measurement target substance in a sample or quantifying the measurement target substance by the following procedure (see Non-Patent Document 1).
(1) The antigen is bound to the primary antibody immobilized on the microplate.
(2) After adding a buffer solution and washing, a secondary antibody modified with an enzyme or the like is bound to an antigen.
(3) After washing / removing unbound secondary antibody with a buffer, color is developed by the secondary antibody enzyme by adding a substrate.

また、イムノクロマト法とは、以下の手順により、検体中の測定対象物質の有無を検出、又は測定対象物質を定量する方法である(非特許文献2参照)。
(1)メンブラン上に滴下された検体中の測定対象物質が、金属コロイド等で標識された抗体と複合体を形成し、毛細管現象によってメンブラン上を移動する。
(2)測定対象物質が存在する時は、検出抗体によって複合体の移動が途中でトラップされ、その呈色を目視によって判断する。
Further, the immunochromatography method is a method for detecting the presence or absence of a measurement target substance in a sample or quantifying the measurement target substance by the following procedure (see Non-Patent Document 2).
(1) A substance to be measured in a sample dropped on a membrane forms a complex with an antibody labeled with a metal colloid or the like, and moves on the membrane by capillary action.
(2) When the measurement target substance exists, the movement of the complex is trapped in the middle by the detection antibody, and the coloration is visually determined.

しかしながら、ELISAは、非結合の抗原や2次抗体を洗浄・除去する工程が必要であり、人手や時間がかかるという問題がある。一方、イムノクロマト法は、ELISAと比較して短時間で検出が可能であるが、感度が低く、夾雑物に弱いという問題がある。   However, ELISA requires a step of washing and removing unbound antigens and secondary antibodies, and has the problem that it takes manpower and time. On the other hand, the immunochromatography method can be detected in a short time as compared with the ELISA, but has a problem that the sensitivity is low and it is weak against impurities.

本発明は、上記問題点を解決するためになされたもので、鋭意研究を行ったところ、(1)発光することができる標識成分で標識した抗体(2次抗体)から発する波長域の光を吸収する化合物を抗原―抗体反応を行う媒体中に添加すると、(2)検体中に測定対象物質が含まれない場合は、媒体中に分散している2次抗体からの発光が化合物に吸収されることで、検出機による発光の検出が抑えられること、(3)一方、検体中に測定対象物質が含まれる場合は抗原−抗体反応により測定対象物質及び2次抗体が複合体を形成し、該複合体を容器の一部に偏在させることで、検体中に測定対象物質が含まれない場合と比較して、検出機による光の検出量を多くできること、(4)そして、媒体中に分散している2次抗体からの発光は化合物に吸収されることから、2次抗体を洗浄・除去する工程が無くても検体中の測定対象物質の有無を検出、又は測定対象物質を定量できることから、測定対象物質の検出・定量時間を短縮できること、を新たに見出した。   The present invention has been made to solve the above-mentioned problems, and as a result of extensive research, (1) light in a wavelength range emitted from an antibody (secondary antibody) labeled with a labeling component capable of emitting light (secondary antibody). When a compound to be absorbed is added to the medium in which the antigen-antibody reaction is performed, (2) if the analyte is not contained in the sample, light emitted from the secondary antibody dispersed in the medium is absorbed by the compound. (3) On the other hand, when the measurement target substance is contained in the sample, the measurement target substance and the secondary antibody form a complex by the antigen-antibody reaction, By making the complex unevenly distributed in a part of the container, the amount of light detected by the detector can be increased compared to the case where the sample does not contain the measurement target substance, and (4) and dispersed in the medium Light emitted from the secondary antibody Therefore, the detection / quantification time of the measurement target substance can be shortened because the presence or absence of the measurement target substance in the sample can be detected or the measurement target substance can be quantified without the step of washing / removing the secondary antibody. , Newly found.

すなわち、本発明の目的は、短時間で検体中の測定対象物質を検出・定量するための免疫測定用キット及び免疫測定方法を提供することにある。   That is, an object of the present invention is to provide an immunoassay kit and an immunoassay method for detecting and quantifying a measurement target substance in a specimen in a short time.

以下に、本発明の免疫測定用キット及び免疫測定方法について詳しく説明する。図1は、本発明の免疫測定の原理を説明する図である。図1(1)は検体中に検出対象物質が含まれる場合の例を示している。本発明の免疫測定用キットは、少なくとも、発光することができる標識成分1で標識した抗体(2次抗体)2、標識成分1が発する波長域の光を吸収する化合物3を含んでいる。検体中に測定対象物質4が含まれていると、容器5の一部に固定されている測定対象物質4を特異的に認識する抗体(1次抗体)6に測定対象物質4が結合し、更に測定対象物質4に2次抗体2が結合して複合体を形成する。そして、複合体が容器5の壁面に偏在することから2次抗体2が発する光も容器壁面に偏在し、検出機7により2次抗体2が発する光を検出し易くなる。以下、本発明の免疫測定方法を「生物発光色素吸収法」と記載することがある。   The immunoassay kit and immunoassay method of the present invention will be described in detail below. FIG. 1 is a diagram for explaining the principle of immunoassay of the present invention. FIG. 1 (1) shows an example in which a detection target substance is contained in a specimen. The immunoassay kit of the present invention includes at least an antibody (secondary antibody) 2 labeled with a labeling component 1 capable of emitting light, and a compound 3 that absorbs light in the wavelength region emitted by the labeling component 1. When the measurement target substance 4 is contained in the sample, the measurement target substance 4 binds to an antibody (primary antibody) 6 that specifically recognizes the measurement target substance 4 fixed to a part of the container 5; Further, the secondary antibody 2 is bound to the measurement target substance 4 to form a complex. Since the complex is unevenly distributed on the wall surface of the container 5, the light emitted from the secondary antibody 2 is also unevenly distributed on the container wall surface, and the detector 7 can easily detect the light emitted from the secondary antibody 2. Hereinafter, the immunoassay method of the present invention may be referred to as “bioluminescent dye absorption method”.

一方、図1(2)は検体中に測定対象物質4が含まれない場合の例を示している。測定対象物質4が含まれない場合は、2次抗体2は、測定対象物質4と複合体を形成しないことから、化合物3を含む媒体中に分散した状態となる。2次抗体2が発する光は化合物3に吸収されるので、図1(1)と比較して検出機7により検出され難くなる。   On the other hand, FIG. 1 (2) shows an example in which the measurement target substance 4 is not contained in the specimen. When the measurement target substance 4 is not included, the secondary antibody 2 does not form a complex with the measurement target substance 4 and thus is dispersed in a medium containing the compound 3. Since the light emitted from the secondary antibody 2 is absorbed by the compound 3, it is difficult to be detected by the detector 7 as compared with FIG.

本発明の生物発光色素吸収法では、2次抗体2が発する光を化合物3で吸収することが特徴である。そのため、測定対象物質4と2次抗体2が複合体を形成した場合でも、当該複合体が溶媒中に分散した状態であると2次抗体2が発する光を化合物3が吸収してしまい、検出感度が悪くなる。そのため、測定対象物質4と2次抗体2の複合体が可能な限り容器5の壁面に偏在し、2次抗体2が発する光が化合物3に吸収され難くすることが好ましい。図1(1)に示す例では、容器5の壁面の一部(底面)に1次抗体6を固定することで複合体を容器5の底面付近に偏在させているが、複合体を容器5の壁面の特定部分に偏在できれば、特に制限は無い。   The bioluminescent dye absorption method of the present invention is characterized in that the light emitted from the secondary antibody 2 is absorbed by the compound 3. Therefore, even when the measurement target substance 4 and the secondary antibody 2 form a complex, if the complex is dispersed in the solvent, the compound 3 absorbs light emitted from the secondary antibody 2 and is detected. Sensitivity deteriorates. Therefore, it is preferable that the complex of the substance to be measured 4 and the secondary antibody 2 is unevenly distributed on the wall surface of the container 5 as much as possible so that the light emitted from the secondary antibody 2 is not easily absorbed by the compound 3. In the example shown in FIG. 1 (1), the complex is unevenly distributed near the bottom surface of the container 5 by fixing the primary antibody 6 to a part (bottom surface) of the wall surface of the container 5. There is no particular limitation as long as it can be unevenly distributed on a specific portion of the wall surface.

例えば、測定対象物質4が菌体等の媒体に不溶性の物質の場合、容器5として遠心分離機に装着可能な容器を用い、菌体と2次抗体2を結合させて複合体を形成した後、遠心分離により複合体を容器5の底部に偏在させてもよい。その場合、1次抗体6を容器5に固定しなくてもよい。また、1次抗体6を容器5ではなく磁性ビーズ等に固定することで、1次抗体6−測定対象物質4−2次抗体2の複合体を、磁力等を用いて容器5の壁面に引き寄せることで偏在してもよい。更に、1次抗体6をガラスビーズ等の固体物質に固定して、1次抗体6−測定対象物質4−2次抗体2の複合体を、遠心分離機を用いて容器5の底部に偏在してもよい。   For example, when the measurement target substance 4 is a substance that is insoluble in a medium such as a microbial cell, a container that can be attached to a centrifuge is used as the container 5 and the microbial cell and the secondary antibody 2 are combined to form a complex. The composite may be unevenly distributed at the bottom of the container 5 by centrifugation. In that case, the primary antibody 6 may not be fixed to the container 5. In addition, by fixing the primary antibody 6 not to the container 5 but to a magnetic bead or the like, the complex of the primary antibody 6-the substance to be measured 4-2 and the secondary antibody 2 is attracted to the wall surface of the container 5 using magnetic force or the like. It may be unevenly distributed. Further, the primary antibody 6 is fixed to a solid substance such as glass beads, and the complex of the primary antibody 6-the substance to be measured 4-secondary antibody 2 is unevenly distributed at the bottom of the container 5 using a centrifuge. May be.

標識成分1は、2次抗体2に結合することができ、発光できる成分であれば特に制限は無い。例えば、ルシフェラーゼ(以下、「Luc」と記載することがある。)、βガラクトシダーゼ、クロラムフェニコール・アセチルトランスフェラーゼ(CAT)、アルカリフォスファターゼ(AP)、βグルクロニダーゼ、ホースラディッシュペルオキシダーゼ(HRP)等の基質と反応することで発光する酵素;緑色蛍光タンパク質(Green Fluorescent Protein,GFP)、phycoerythrin(PE)、allophycocyanin(APC)等の基質が無くても発光する蛍光タンパク質;フルオレセインイソチオシアネート(FITC)、ローダミン、テキサスレッド、Cy3、Cy5等の蛍光色素:量子ドット(Quantum Dot:QD)と呼ばれる半導体結晶;等が挙げられる。   The labeling component 1 is not particularly limited as long as it can bind to the secondary antibody 2 and can emit light. For example, substrates such as luciferase (hereinafter sometimes referred to as “Luc”), β-galactosidase, chloramphenicol acetyltransferase (CAT), alkaline phosphatase (AP), β-glucuronidase, horseradish peroxidase (HRP), etc. Enzyme that emits light by reacting with it; green fluorescent protein (Green Fluorescent Protein, GFP), fluorescein isothiocyanate (FITC), rhodamine, fluorescent protein that emits light even without a substrate such as phycoerythrin (PE), allophycocyanin (APC), etc. Fluorescent dyes such as Texas Red, Cy3, and Cy5: semiconductor crystals called Quantum Dots (QD); and the like.

標識成分1として酵素を用いる場合、当該酵素に特異的な公知の基質を用いて発光すればばよい。例えば、ホタルルシフェラーゼであれば甲虫ルシフェリン、ウミシイタケルシフェラーゼであればセレンテラジン、βガラクトシダーゼであれば1,2−dioxetane類、HRPであればルミノール系基質等、公知の酵素と基質の組み合わせを用いればよい。   When an enzyme is used as the labeling component 1, light emission may be performed using a known substrate specific to the enzyme. For example, a combination of a known enzyme and a substrate such as beetle luciferin for firefly luciferase, coelenterazine for Renilla luciferase, 1,2-dioxetanes for β-galactosidase, and luminol substrate for HRP may be used. .

2次抗体2は、測定対象物質4を特異的に認識できるものであれば特に制限は無い。例えば、市販されている抗体、又は、測定対象物質4を用いた公知の抗体製造方法により製造した抗体を用いればよい。標識成分1で標識した抗体(2次抗体)2は、標識成分1と抗体2が結合できれば特に制限はなく、公知の方法で結合すればよい。例えば、標識成分1をビオチン化し、2次抗体2をストレプトアビジン化し、ビオチン−ストレプトアビジン結合により両者を結合すればよい。ビオチン化、ストレプトアビジン化は、市販されている公知のキットを用いて行えばよい。   The secondary antibody 2 is not particularly limited as long as it can specifically recognize the measurement target substance 4. For example, a commercially available antibody or an antibody produced by a known antibody production method using the measurement target substance 4 may be used. The antibody (secondary antibody) 2 labeled with the labeling component 1 is not particularly limited as long as the labeling component 1 and the antibody 2 can be bound, and may be bound by a known method. For example, the labeling component 1 may be biotinized, the secondary antibody 2 may be streptavidin, and both may be bound by a biotin-streptavidin bond. Biotinylation and streptavidinization may be performed using a commercially available kit.

本発明の化合物3は、標識成分1が発する光の波長域を吸収できるものであれば特に制限は無い。化合物3が吸収できる光の波長域が、標識成分1が発する光の波長域と少なくとも一部が重複していることが好ましく、標識成分1が発する光のピーク波長を含んでいることがより好ましく、標識成分1が発する光の波長域を全て含んでいることが特に好ましい。   The compound 3 of the present invention is not particularly limited as long as it can absorb the wavelength range of light emitted from the labeling component 1. The wavelength range of light that can be absorbed by the compound 3 is preferably at least partially overlapped with the wavelength range of the light emitted by the labeling component 1, and more preferably includes the peak wavelength of the light emitted by the labeling component 1. It is particularly preferable that the entire wavelength range of light emitted from the labeling component 1 is included.

化合物3の具体例としては、ブルーデキストラン、ブロムフェノールブルー、アントシアニン等が挙げられる。例えば、ルシフェラーゼは生物種により異なるものの、ホタルルシフェラーゼは約556nm、ウミシイタケルシフェラーゼは約480nmがピーク波長を有するので、化合物3としては、ルシフェラーゼの上記波長域の光を収できるブルーデキストランを選択すればよい。なお、化合物3は単独で用いることもできるが、標識成分1が発する光の波長域を単独の化合物3で吸収できない場合は、異なる吸収波長域を持つ化合物3を組み合わせて用いてもよい。   Specific examples of compound 3 include blue dextran, bromophenol blue, anthocyanin and the like. For example, although luciferase varies depending on the species, firefly luciferase has a peak wavelength of about 556 nm, and Renilla luciferase has a peak wavelength of about 480 nm. Therefore, as compound 3, blue dextran capable of collecting light in the above wavelength range of luciferase can be selected. Good. In addition, although the compound 3 can also be used independently, when the wavelength range of the light which the labeling component 1 emits cannot be absorbed with the single compound 3, you may use combining the compound 3 which has a different absorption wavelength range.

化合物3の濃度は、媒体中に遊離した2次抗体2が発する光を吸収し、検出機7に届き難くするために必要な量であればよい。媒体中の標識成分1の濃度にもよるが、例えば、ABSに換算して2以上が好ましく、2.5以上がより好ましく、3以上が特に好ましい。化合物3の濃度が薄すぎると、媒体中に遊離している2次抗体2が発する光が検出機に届くので好ましくない。一方、化合物3の濃度の上限は特になく、媒体中に溶解可能な範囲とすればよい。   The concentration of the compound 3 may be an amount necessary for absorbing light emitted from the secondary antibody 2 released into the medium and making it difficult to reach the detector 7. Although depending on the concentration of the labeling component 1 in the medium, for example, 2 or more is preferable in terms of ABS, 2.5 or more is more preferable, and 3 or more is particularly preferable. If the concentration of the compound 3 is too low, light emitted from the secondary antibody 2 released in the medium reaches the detector, which is not preferable. On the other hand, the upper limit of the concentration of compound 3 is not particularly limited, and may be in a range that can be dissolved in the medium.

また、生体サンプルを検体とした場合の測定対象物質4としては、花粉、ダニ等のアレルギー物質;HIV、肝炎等のウィルス;PSA等の癌マーカー;各種タンパク質;等が挙げられる。   Examples of the measurement target substance 4 when using a biological sample as a specimen include allergens such as pollen and mites; viruses such as HIV and hepatitis; cancer markers such as PSA; various proteins;

検体、2次抗体2、化合物3を混合するための媒体としては、従来から免疫測定で用いられている媒体であれば特に制限は無く、例えば、リン酸バッファー等が挙げられる。   The medium for mixing the specimen, the secondary antibody 2 and the compound 3 is not particularly limited as long as it is a medium conventionally used in immunoassays, and examples thereof include a phosphate buffer.

容器5は、免疫測定に使用できる容器であれば特に制限は無いが、本発明では容器5を通過する光を検出する。そのため、検出感度を上げるためには標識成分1が発する光の透過性が高い透明な材料で容器を作製することが好ましい。測定対象物質4を捕捉する為の1次抗体6を容器5に固定しない場合は、エッペンドルフチューブ等、遠心分離機に装着し遠心分離できる容器が好ましい。一方、1次抗体6を用いる場合は、容器5は特に制限は無く、96ウェルプレート等、免疫測定の分野で使用されている一般的な容器を用いればよい。   Although there will be no restriction | limiting in particular if the container 5 can be used for an immunoassay, In this invention, the light which passes the container 5 is detected. Therefore, in order to increase the detection sensitivity, it is preferable that the container is made of a transparent material having a high transmittance for the light emitted from the labeling component 1. In the case where the primary antibody 6 for capturing the substance 4 to be measured is not fixed to the container 5, a container such as an Eppendorf tube that can be attached to a centrifuge and centrifuged is preferable. On the other hand, when the primary antibody 6 is used, the container 5 is not particularly limited, and a general container used in the field of immunoassay such as a 96-well plate may be used.

なお、本発明では、標識成分1が発する光をそのまま検出機7で検出してもよいが、標識成分1から発する光の波長域を近赤外波長領域、例えば、850〜1700nm程度に変換部で変換し、当該波長域を検出できる検出機7を用いてもよい。変換部を構成する部材としては、例えば、Ybイオン、Ndイオン、Tmイオン、Smイオン、Hoイオン、Erイオン、Dyイオン、Prイオン等の希土類イオンを、硼酸系ガラス、ゲルマン酸系ガラス、リン酸系ガラス、フッ化物ガラス等に添加したガラス等が挙げられる。具体的には、Bi23−B23系ガラス、Bi23−GeO2系ガラス、ZnO−B23系ガラス、CaO−B23系ガラス及びCaO−P25系等の公知のガラスが挙げられる。 In the present invention, the light emitted from the labeling component 1 may be detected by the detector 7 as it is, but the wavelength region of the light emitted from the labeling component 1 is converted into a near infrared wavelength region, for example, about 850 to 1700 nm. It is also possible to use a detector 7 that can convert the signal and detect the wavelength range. Examples of the member constituting the conversion unit include rare earth ions such as Yb ion, Nd ion, Tm ion, Sm ion, Ho ion, Er ion, Dy ion, and Pr ion, boric acid glass, germanic acid glass, phosphorus The glass etc. which were added to acid type glass, fluoride glass, etc. are mentioned. Specifically, Bi 2 O 3 —B 2 O 3 glass, Bi 2 O 3 —GeO 2 glass, ZnO—B 2 O 3 glass, CaO—B 2 O 3 glass and CaO—P 2 O Well-known glass of 5 series etc. is mentioned.

可視光の波長領域を検出する場合と異なり、標識成分1から発する光の波長領域を近赤外波長領域に変換する場合、容器5は透明である必要はない。したがって、容器5は不透明な材料で形成してもよく、容器5を作製する材料の選択範囲を広くすることができる。光の波長領域を変える場合は、上記成分で作製した近赤外蛍光ガラス体に1次抗体6を固定して、媒体中に添加すればよい。近赤外蛍光ガラス体は1次抗体6−測定対象物質4−2次抗体2と複合体を形成することから、標識成分1が発する光を近赤外蛍光ガラス体で近赤外波長領域に変換することができ、容器5を通過した近赤外波長領域の光を検出機で検出すればよい。   Unlike the case of detecting the wavelength region of visible light, the container 5 does not need to be transparent when the wavelength region of light emitted from the labeling component 1 is converted to the near-infrared wavelength region. Therefore, the container 5 may be formed of an opaque material, and the selection range of the material for producing the container 5 can be widened. When changing the wavelength region of light, the primary antibody 6 may be fixed to the near-infrared fluorescent glass body prepared with the above components and added to the medium. Since the near-infrared fluorescent glass body forms a complex with the primary antibody 6-substance to be measured 4-secondary antibody 2, the light emitted from the labeling component 1 is placed in the near-infrared wavelength region with the near-infrared fluorescent glass body. The light in the near-infrared wavelength region that can be converted and has passed through the container 5 may be detected by a detector.

近赤外蛍光ガラス体を用いた場合は、容器5全体を不透明な材料で作製することができるが、容器5の一部に上記成分で作製した変換部(近赤外蛍光ガラス体)を組み込んでもよい。変換部に一次抗体6を固定しておくことで、変換部及び/又は変換部周辺の容器5を通して、近赤外波長領域の光を検出機7で検出することができる。   When the near-infrared fluorescent glass body is used, the entire container 5 can be made of an opaque material, but a conversion part (near-infrared fluorescent glass body) made of the above components is incorporated in a part of the container 5. But you can. By fixing the primary antibody 6 to the conversion unit, light in the near-infrared wavelength region can be detected by the detector 7 through the conversion unit and / or the container 5 around the conversion unit.

1次抗体6は、2次抗体2と同様、測定対象物質4を特異的に認識して結合できるものであれば特に制限は無く、市販されている抗体、又は、測定対象物質4を用いた公知の抗体製造方法により製造した抗体を用いればよい。なお、上記のとおり1次抗体6を用いることは必須ではないが、用いる場合は、容器5の壁面に公知の方法で固定すればよい。また、容器5に変え、免疫測定分野で従来より使用されている磁性ビーズ、ガラスビーズ等に固定してもよい。   As with the secondary antibody 2, the primary antibody 6 is not particularly limited as long as it can specifically recognize and bind to the measurement target substance 4, and a commercially available antibody or the measurement target substance 4 was used. An antibody produced by a known antibody production method may be used. Although it is not essential to use the primary antibody 6 as described above, when used, it may be fixed to the wall surface of the container 5 by a known method. Further, the container 5 may be replaced with a magnetic bead or glass bead conventionally used in the immunoassay field.

検出機7は、標識成分1から発する光が可視光の場合は可視光領域の波長に感度がある検出機であれば特に制限は無く、例えば、Si系のCCD、CMOSカメラ等が挙げられる。また、近赤外光領域に変換して検出する場合には、例えば、850〜1700nm程度の波長に感度があり、且つ850nm以下の波長には感度がないものが好ましく、例えば、InGaAsカメラ、ゲルマニウムカメラ、ビジコンカメラ等が挙げられる。また、検出機7には、標識成分1が発する波長域以外の波長域の光を除去するためのフィルターを設けることで周囲のノイズを除去し、検出感度を高めてもよい。   If the light emitted from the labeling component 1 is visible light, the detector 7 is not particularly limited as long as it is sensitive to the wavelength in the visible light region, and examples thereof include a Si-based CCD and a CMOS camera. In the case of detecting by converting into the near infrared light region, for example, those having sensitivity at a wavelength of about 850 to 1700 nm and insensitive at a wavelength of 850 nm or less are preferable. For example, an InGaAs camera, germanium, etc. Examples include cameras and vidicon cameras. In addition, the detector 7 may be provided with a filter for removing light in a wavelength region other than the wavelength region emitted by the labeling component 1, thereby removing ambient noise and increasing detection sensitivity.

本発明の免疫測定方法は、必要に応じて1次抗体を固定した容器5に、検体、標識成分1で標識した2次抗体2、標識成分1が発する光の波長域の光を吸収する化合物3を媒体中で混合する工程、標識成分1から発光した光を検出機7で測定する工程を少なくとも含んでいる。なお、標識成分1が酵素の場合は、当該酵素に特異的な基質を媒体中に添加しておけばよい。また、1次抗体6を容器5に固定した場合、又は、1次抗体6を固定したビーズを容器5に入れる場合は、遠心分離工程は必要に応じて実施すればよいが、1次抗体6を用いない場合は、測定する工程の前に、遠心分離をする工程を設けることが好ましい。   The immunoassay method of the present invention is a compound that absorbs light in a wavelength region of light emitted from a specimen, a secondary antibody 2 labeled with a labeling component 1 and a labeling component 1 in a container 5 in which a primary antibody is immobilized as necessary. 3 in the medium, and at least the step of measuring the light emitted from the labeling component 1 with the detector 7. When the labeling component 1 is an enzyme, a substrate specific for the enzyme may be added to the medium. In addition, when the primary antibody 6 is fixed to the container 5 or when beads having the primary antibody 6 fixed are put into the container 5, the centrifugation step may be performed as necessary. When not using, it is preferable to provide the process of centrifuging before the process of measuring.

[モデル系による生物発光色素吸収法の実証]
<実施例1>
ビオチンとストレプトアビジンは自然界で最も強固に結合することが知られており、様々な生物化学の研究において用いられている。この結合を利用して、生物発光色素吸収法のモデル系を構築し、本発明の免疫測定方法の実証を行った。
上記の手順で作製した緑色Lucを、同人化学研究所製Biotin labeling kit−NH2を用いてビオチン化した。
次に、PCRチューブ(BM機器株式会社製 PCR−02F2)に、
・緑色ビオチン化Lucを10ng、
・ビオチンと結合するストレプトアビジンが固定されたSAビーズ(Life technologies社製、Dynabeads(登録商標) M270 streptavidin)を6−7×106beads、
・ブルーデキストラン(GE Health care life science社製 17−0360−01)、
・Lucの基質が含まれている定量試薬(Promega社製、One Glo Luciferase assay system)を100μL、
加え、更に、PBS(pH7.4)を加えて合計200μLとすることで反応系を作製した。なお、ブルーデキストランは、反応系中の濃度が1.0wt%となるように添加した。反応系をピペッティングによって混合後、磁石上に10秒間静置し、浜松ホトニクス社製H7360−01を用いて30秒間測定した。なお、株式会社島津製作所製紫外可視分光光度計UV2450を用いて混合時の反応系のABSを測定した値は、6.98(トップピーク)であった。
[Demonstration of bioluminescent dye absorption method using model system]
<Example 1>
Biotin and streptavidin are known to bind most tightly in nature and are used in various biochemical studies. Using this binding, a model system of a bioluminescent dye absorption method was constructed, and the immunoassay method of the present invention was demonstrated.
Green Luc produced by the above procedure was biotinylated using Biotin labeling kit-NH2 manufactured by Doujin Chemical Laboratory.
Next, in the PCR tube (BM-02 Co., Ltd. PCR-02F2)
10 ng of green biotinylated Luc,
-SA beads to which streptavidin that binds to biotin was immobilized (Life technologies, Dynabeads (registered trademark) M270 streptavidin) was 6-7 × 10 6 beads,
-Blue dextran (GE Healthcare life science company 17-0360-01),
100 μL of a quantitative reagent (Promega, One Glo Luciferase assay system) containing a Luc substrate,
In addition, PBS (pH 7.4) was further added to make a total of 200 μL to prepare a reaction system. Blue dextran was added so that the concentration in the reaction system was 1.0 wt%. The reaction system was mixed by pipetting, then allowed to stand on the magnet for 10 seconds, and measured for 30 seconds using H7360-01 manufactured by Hamamatsu Photonics. In addition, the value which measured ABS of the reaction system at the time of mixing using Shimadzu Corporation ultraviolet visible spectrophotometer UV2450 was 6.98 (top peak).

<比較例1>
実施例1のSAビーズの代わりに、ネガティブコントロールとしてビオチンと結合しないCAビーズ(Life Technologies社製、Dynabeads(登録商標) M270 carboxylic acid)を用いた以外は、実施例1と同様の手順で実験を行った。
<Comparative Example 1>
Instead of the SA beads of Example 1, CA beads that do not bind to biotin (Life Technologies, Dynabeads (registered trademark) M270 carboxylic acid) were used as a negative control. went.

図2は、実施例1及び比較例1の測定結果を表すグラフである。SAビーズを用いた実施例1は、ネガティブコントロールであるCAビーズを用いた比較例1より、有意に高いシグナルを得ることができた。これは、比較例1ではLucの発光がブルーデキストランに吸収されたのに対して、実施例1ではビオチン−ストレプトアビジン相互作用によってビオチン化Lucと結合したビーズが、磁石により容器底部に偏在したため、より多くのルシフェラーゼの発光が検出機により検出されたためと考えられる。   FIG. 2 is a graph showing the measurement results of Example 1 and Comparative Example 1. Example 1 using SA beads was able to obtain a significantly higher signal than Comparative Example 1 using CA beads as a negative control. This is because, in Comparative Example 1, Luc luminescence was absorbed by blue dextran, whereas in Example 1, beads bound to biotinylated Luc by biotin-streptavidin interaction were unevenly distributed at the bottom of the container by a magnet. It is thought that more luminescence of luciferase was detected by the detector.

[標識成分から発光する波長域と光を吸収する化合物の関係]
<比較例2>
実施例1(SAビーズ)のブルーデキストランに代え、ABSのピークが同じとなるようにタートラジン(Wako社製 204−00102)を添加(5.54×10-3wt%)した以外は、実施例1と同様の手順で実験を行った。また、比較例1(CAビーズ)についても、上記と同様の手順でタートラジンに変えた実験を行った。
[Relationship between wavelength range of light emitted from labeling component and compound that absorbs light]
<Comparative example 2>
Example 1 except that tartrazine (204-000102 manufactured by Wako) was added (5.54 × 10 −3 wt%) so that the peak of ABS was the same instead of blue dextran of Example 1 (SA beads) The experiment was performed in the same procedure as in 1. Moreover, also about the comparative example 1 (CA bead), the experiment changed into the tartrazine in the same procedure as the above was conducted.

図3は、SAビーズ及びCAビーズを用いた場合の測定結果を表すグラフである。化合物として実施例1及び比較例1のブルーデキストランに代え、タートラジンを用いた場合、SAビーズとCAビーズで大きな差は無く、且つ、photon counts/sの値も実施例1及び比較例1より高かった。これは、CAビーズを用いた場合、ビオチン化Lucは遊離しているものの、タートラジンでほとんど吸収されなかった為と考えられる。なお、SAビーズを用いたものの方が若干高い値が得られたが、これはSAビーズと結合したビオチン化Lucが容器底部に集まっていることに起因するものと考えられる。   FIG. 3 is a graph showing measurement results when SA beads and CA beads are used. When tartrazine was used in place of blue dextran of Example 1 and Comparative Example 1 as a compound, there was no significant difference between SA beads and CA beads, and the value of phototon counts / s was higher than that of Example 1 and Comparative Example 1 It was. This is probably because when CA beads were used, biotinylated Luc was released, but was hardly absorbed by tartrazine. A slightly higher value was obtained using the SA beads, which is considered to be due to the biotinylated Luc bound to the SA beads gathering at the bottom of the container.

次に、Lucの発光波長域と、光を吸収する化合物であるブルーデキストラン及びタートラジンの吸収波長域の関係を調べる実験を行った。   Next, an experiment was conducted to examine the relationship between the emission wavelength range of Luc and the absorption wavelength range of blue dextran and tartrazine, which are compounds that absorb light.

<Lucの発光波長域の測定>
オレンジ色Lucを含むPBSバッファー(pH7.4)100μL(Luc濃度:10μg/mL)及びOne Glo Luciferase assay system 100μLを混合し、日本分光株式会社製Spectrofluorometer FP−8500を用いて発光波長域の測定を行った。緑色Lucについても同様の手順で測定を行った。
<Measurement of emission wavelength range of Luc>
PBS buffer (pH 7.4) containing orange Luc (100 μL (Luc concentration: 10 μg / mL)) and One Glo Luciferase assay system (100 μL) were mixed, and the emission wavelength region was measured using Spectrofluorometer FP-8500 manufactured by JASCO Corporation. went. Measurement was also performed for green Luc in the same procedure.

図5はオレンジ色Luc及び緑色Lucの発光波長域を表す図である。オレンジ色Lucの発光波長域は約500〜650nmで発光のピークは約575nm、緑色Lucの発光波長域は約480〜630nmで発光のピークは約545nmであった。上記の測定結果より、実施例1及び比較例1において、緑色Lucの発光波長域(約480〜630nm)はブルーデキストランの吸収波長域(約450〜750nm)に含まれていた。一方、比較例2において、緑色Lucの発光波長域(約480〜630nm)は、タートラジンの吸収波長域(約300〜500nm)とはほぼ異なっていた。以上の結果より、本発明の生物発光色素吸収法では、抗原−抗体反応する媒体中に加える化合物が吸収する光の波長領域が、標識成分1が発する光の波長域と少なくとも一部が重複、より好ましくは標識成分1が発する光の波長域を含むと、反応しなかった2次抗体2の標識成分1から発する光を効率的に吸収できることが明らかとなった。   FIG. 5 is a diagram illustrating the emission wavelength ranges of orange Luc and green Luc. The emission wavelength range of orange Luc was about 500 to 650 nm, the emission peak was about 575 nm, the emission wavelength range of green Luc was about 480 to 630 nm, and the emission peak was about 545 nm.
