Definitions
- the present invention relates to the diagnosis of diseases and medical events, notably myocardial infarction (“MI”). More specifically, the present invention relates to the detection of a clinical marker of a disease or medical event, in particular MI, using multiple antibodies, each antibody having a different specificity for the clinical marker. The present invention also relates to reagents and apparatuses used in the diagnosis of a disease or medical event, in particular MI.
- MI myocardial infarction
- ELISA enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay
- CK-MB as a clinical marker of MI is that the level of CK-MB in the skeletal muscle varies with the degree of skeletal muscle regeneration, information which may often not be known when administering a test or analyzing a test result for MI.
- Another disadvantage of testing for CK-MB is that CK-MB levels remain elevated for only 2-3 days after the onset of chest pain. For patients admitted after that time, the CK-MB test will be of limited value. Thus, due to the lack of specificity when assaying CK-MB, and the limited time frame for its use as a diagnostic tool, CK-MB is not an ideal clinical marker for diagnosing MI.
- Cardiac troponin I (“cTnI”) is now used as an accurate cardiac-specific biological parameter detectable in serum very soon after MI and remaining present for more than 2-3 days after the onset of MI.
- Troponin is present in cardiac tissue as a complex of three subunits: Troponin T (“TnT”), the tropomyosin binding subunit, Troponin C (“TnC”), the Ca 2+ binding subunit; and Troponin I (“TnI”), the sub-unit which inhibits the actomyosin Mg 2+ ATPase.
- TnI is a thin filament regulatory protein complex, which confers calcium sensitivity to the cardiac and striated muscle.
- Cardiac TnI is uniquely located in the myocardium where it is the only isoform present.
- Cardiac TnI rapidly appears in human serum (within approximately 4 to 6 hours) following a MI. It reaches a peak level after 18-24 hours and remains at elevated levels in the blood stream for up to 6-10 days. As a result, cTnT released into the circulation from the myocardium is very specific for myocardial injury.
- Elevated cTnI levels in blood may be used to diagnose MI and distinguish other heart related events and diseases.
- Immunoassay systems capable of accurately detecting human cTnI would be valuable to the medical community for diagnosing the occurrence of MI.
- Apple and Wu Myocardial infarction redefined: Role of cardiac troponin testing.
- Cardiac TnI exists in multiple subforms in blood as a result of modifications such as proteolytic cleavage, phosphorylation, chemical oxidation, chemical reduction, cleavage of amino acid residues, and chemical modification of amino acid moieties.
- amino acids 1 to 25 and 150 to 209 are generally not found on cTnI subforms in serum as a result of proteolysis.
- the many different subforms of cTnI circulating in the bloodstream are predominantly found in complexes with other proteins. See Katrukha (1997).

At least one of the epitopes on the analyte of interest is unavailable for binding on the subform.
- a sandwich immunoassay product may comprise an analyte of interest and a subform of the analyte. At least three different epitopes on the analyte are available for binding by at least three different antibodies. At least three different antibodies are bound to different epitopes on the analyte. At least two of the three epitopes on the analyte are available for binding on the subform. At least two of the at least three antibodie are bound to different epitopes on the subform. At least one of the epitopes on the analyte of interest is unavailable for binding on the subform.
- a patient may be diagnosed for the occurrence of an acute disease, such as myocardial infarction, by applying a sample obtained from the patient to a surface comprising at least two antibodies which bind to different epitopes on cTnI, wherein at least one of the two antibodies is capable of binding to a different epitope on a subform of cTnI, and wherein at least one epitope of the at least two antibodies is unavailable for binding on the subform.
- a third antibody is then added which binds to yet another epitope on cTnI and the subform. The extent of binding of the third antibody to cTnI and the subform is then measured.

Abstract
Description
- The present invention relates to the diagnosis of diseases and medical events, notably myocardial infarction (“MI”). More specifically, the present invention relates to the detection of a clinical marker of a disease or medical event, in particular MI, using multiple antibodies, each antibody having a different specificity for the clinical marker. The present invention also relates to reagents and apparatuses used in the diagnosis of a disease or medical event, in particular MI.
- Diagnosis of acute disease is often based on immunoassay, e.g. enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (“ELISA”), detection of abnormal levels of clinical markers, such as proteins, enzymes and hormones in biological fluids, particularly when the concentration changes quickly during the acute phase of disease. ELISA systems allowing for the rapid and simple diagnosis of the occurrence of an acute disease, such as the occurrence of an MI, are therefore extremely important.
- In the past, clinical markers for diagnosing the occurrence of an MI included lactate dehydrogenase (“LDH”) and glutamic oxaloacetic transaminase (“GOT”), though these were not very specific. Problems with LDH and GDH led to the use of the MB isoenzyme of creatine kinase (“CK-MB”) as a clinical marker for the diagnosis of MI. However, CK-MB can also be found in skeletal muscle and in blood after skeletal muscle injury. Thus, CK-MB is not completely specific for cardiac muscle. Another disadvantage of CK-MB as a clinical marker of MI is that the level of CK-MB in the skeletal muscle varies with the degree of skeletal muscle regeneration, information which may often not be known when administering a test or analyzing a test result for MI. Another disadvantage of testing for CK-MB is that CK-MB levels remain elevated for only 2-3 days after the onset of chest pain. For patients admitted after that time, the CK-MB test will be of limited value. Thus, due to the lack of specificity when assaying CK-MB, and the limited time frame for its use as a diagnostic tool, CK-MB is not an ideal clinical marker for diagnosing MI.
- Cardiac troponin I (“cTnI”) is now used as an accurate cardiac-specific biological parameter detectable in serum very soon after MI and remaining present for more than 2-3 days after the onset of MI. Troponin is present in cardiac tissue as a complex of three subunits: Troponin T (“TnT”), the tropomyosin binding subunit, Troponin C (“TnC”), the Ca2+ binding subunit; and Troponin I (“TnI”), the sub-unit which inhibits the actomyosin Mg2+ ATPase. TnI is a thin filament regulatory protein complex, which confers calcium sensitivity to the cardiac and striated muscle.
- Human Troponin I exists in three isoforms: two skeletal muscle isoforms (fast and slow) (MW=19.8 kDa) and a cardiac TnI isoform (“cTnI”) with an additional 31 residues on the N-terminus resulting in a molecular weight of 23 kDa (209 amino acids). Cardiac TnI is uniquely located in the myocardium where it is the only isoform present. Cardiac TnI rapidly appears in human serum (within approximately 4 to 6 hours) following a MI. It reaches a peak level after 18-24 hours and remains at elevated levels in the blood stream for up to 6-10 days. As a result, cTnT released into the circulation from the myocardium is very specific for myocardial injury.
- Elevated cTnI levels in blood may be used to diagnose MI and distinguish other heart related events and diseases. Immunoassay systems capable of accurately detecting human cTnI would be valuable to the medical community for diagnosing the occurrence of MI. For more information on the utility of cTnI testing, see Apple and Wu, Myocardial infarction redefined: Role of cardiac troponin testing. Clinical Chemistry 47, 377-9, (2001), which is hereby incorporated by reference.
- Cardiac TnI exists in multiple subforms in blood as a result of modifications such as proteolytic cleavage, phosphorylation, chemical oxidation, chemical reduction, cleavage of amino acid residues, and chemical modification of amino acid moieties. For example,
amino acids 1 to 25 and 150 to 209 are generally not found on cTnI subforms in serum as a result of proteolysis. The many different subforms of cTnI circulating in the bloodstream are predominantly found in complexes with other proteins. See Katrukha (1997). For example, cTnI may be complexed with cTnT and cTnC (“cITC”). - In many instances, the chemical modifications and complexation of cTnI in the bloodstream eliminate or block the binding sites for ELISA reagents on some subforms of cTnI, thereby making the epitopes of the ELISA reagents unavailable for binding. For more information on cTnI epitopes and cTnI instability, see Morjana et al., Degradation of Human cardiac troponin I after myocardial infarction: Biotechnol. Appl. Biochem. (1998), 28, 105-111; Gaelle Ferrieres et al. Human cardiac troponin I: precise identification of antigenic epitopes and prediction of secondary structure: Clin. Chem. (1998), 44, 487-493; Katrukha et al., Troponin I is released in bloodstream of patients with acute myocardial infarction not in free form but as complex: Clin. Chem. (1997), 43, 1379-1385; and Katrukha et al., Degradation of cardiac troponin I: implication for reliable immunodetection: Clin. Chem. (1998), 44, 2433-244, which are incorporated herein by reference.
- For most commercially important clinical marker analytes, a number of efficient monoclonal antibodies have been developed which bind a particular epitope of an analyte. The difference between antibodies are the specific location of binding to the analyte, affinity for the analyte, and cross-reactivity with other potential interferents within the sample. ELISA assays have been traditionally developed by pairwise testing of available antibodies for use either as the capture reagent or signal reagent.
- In the development of ELISA assays for cTnI, much effort has been expended in optimizing the antibody and enzyme reagents used. However, the likelihood of epitopes being unavailable for binding on the many subforms of cTnI present in serum and complexation with other proteins makes detection of cTnI significantly difficult and typically cause current ELISA reagents to underestimate actual cTnI levels in a sample. Furthermore, the many different subforms of cTnI with different epitopes available for binding cause current ELISA assays to give significantly different results from sample to sample, from reagent set to reagent set, and as a function of time.
- Thus, there exists a need to develop methods of detecting a clinical marker and subforms thereof, in particular cTnI, for the diagnosis of an acute disease event, in particular MI. The present invention satisfies this need and provides reagents, kits, and apparatuses for detecting a clinical marker and subforms thereof, in particular cTnI.
- The present invention is related to the detection of an analyte of interest. The analyte of interest may be cTnI. In an exemplary embodiment of the present invention, an immunoassay composition for detecting an analyte of interest may comprise three or more antibodies, wherein each antibody is capable of binding to a different epitope on the analyte. At least two of the three different antibodies which bind to the analyte are also capable of binding to at least two different epitopes on a subform of the analyte. At least one of the epitopes on the analyte of interest is unavailable for binding on the subform.
- In another exemplary embodiment of the present invention, an immunoassay device for detecting an analyte of interest may comprise two or more antibodies, wherein each antibody binds to a different epitope on the analyte and wherein the two or more antibodies are bound to at least one surface. At least one of the two different antibodies which bind to the analyte is also capable of binding to at least one different epitope on a subform of the analyte. At least one of the epitopes on the analyte of interest is unavailable for binding on the subform.
- In another exemplary embodiment of the present invention, an immunoassay kit for detecting an analyte of interest may comprise three or more antibodies, wherein each antibody is capable of binding to a different epitope on the analyte. At least two of the three different antibodies which bind to the analyte are also capable of binding to at least two different epitopes on a subform of the analyte. At least one of the epitopes on the analyte of interest is unavailable for binding on the subform.
- In another exemplary embodiment of the present invention, a sandwich immunoassay product may comprise an analyte of interest and a subform of the analyte. At least three different epitopes on the analyte are available for binding by at least three different antibodies. At least three different antibodies are bound to different epitopes on the analyte. At least two of the three epitopes on the analyte are available for binding on the subform. At least two of the at least three antibodie are bound to different epitopes on the subform. At least one of the epitopes on the analyte of interest is unavailable for binding on the subform.
- In another exemplary embodiment of the present invention, a patient may be diagnosed for the occurrence of an acute disease, such as myocardial infarction, by applying a sample obtained from the patient to a surface comprising at least two antibodies which bind to different epitopes on cTnI, wherein at least one of the two antibodies is capable of binding to a different epitope on a subform of cTnI, and wherein at least one epitope of the at least two antibodies is unavailable for binding on the subform. A third antibody is then added which binds to yet another epitope on cTnI and the subform. The extent of binding of the third antibody to cTnI and the subform is then measured.

- 2. Analyte
- The present invention relates to the detection of an analyte and subforms thereof. The analyte may be a clinical marker of a disease state from a patient believed to have suffered an acute disease event, wherein the clinical marker is also present in one or more subforms. In an acute disease state which is amenable to analysis by this invention, the clinical marker may be a transiently elevated substance in the blood which is released in a significant quantity at, after, or before the time of the acute disease event of interest. The elevated concentration of the clinical marker analyte decreases as endogenous conversion factors act upon the clinical marker to produce subforms of the analyte. Subforms derived from the clinical marker may be transiently elevated in a serial manner, as each is first created then metabolized by endogenous conversion factors. The period of transient elevation may be for as short as a few hours to as long as several weeks.
- The analyte may be a biological substance such as a protein, glycoprotein, enzyme, etc., which is released in small quantities at the occasion of an acute disease event such as a heart attack, stroke, or at the occasion of a traumatic injury such as a broken bone or a hematoma. The analyte may be normally absent in such increased quantities and may be converted to a one or more subforms over time by endogenous conversion factors including, but not limited to proteolytic cleavage, phosphorylation, chemical oxidation, chemical reduction, cleavage of amino acid residues, and chemical modification of amino acid moieties. The analyte may be a protein including, but not limited to, TnI, TnT, CK-M, CK-B, myoglobin, hCG, TSH, FSH, pneumococcal PCA, apolipoproteins, C-reactive protein (CRP), brain natriuretic protein (BNP) and its pro-form pro-BNP, human leukocyte antigen and human apolipoproteins. A preferred analyte is cTnI.
- The analyte has at least three different epitopes that are available for binding by an antibody (FIG. 2). A subform of the analyte has at least two different epitopes that are available for binding by an antibody and the epitopes of the subform are also present on the analyte (FIG. 2). At least one epitope of the analyte is unavailable for binding on the subform. An epitope of the analyte unavailable for binding on the subform may be as a result of complexation or alternative conformations, as well as the endogenous conversion factors described above.
- The analyte may be in a native or natural form. The analyte may also be a derivative of the native or natural form. For example, in the case of cTnI the analyte may be full length cTnI monomer or a derivative thereof that is either free or part of cITC complex. In addition, the analyte may be any form of cTnI that is released into serum in connection with an MI. The analyte may also be any modified form of cTnI present in serum including, but not limited to, cTnI as shown in FIG. 9. The analyte may also be any modified form of cTnI that has one or more epitopes that are unavailable for binding on any precursor of the analyte. In order to be an analyte, the only requirement is that the modified or derivative form of cTnI must have at least three epitopes available for binding by three different antibodies.
- The present invention may also be used to detect an analyte and subforms thereof that are present at low concentration where high sensitivity is required.
- 3. Immunoassay
- Analytes have traditionally been detected using a system based on the sandwich assay depicted in FIG. 1 wherein a first monoclonal or polyclonal antibody for capture is attached to a surface, and a second monoclonal or polyclonal antibody is labeled with a signal-generating element (e.g., an enzyme). For more information on commercial immunoassay products and the technology on which they are based, see Wild, (Ed), The Immunoassay Handbook, Stockton Press N.Y., 1994, which is incorporated herein by reference. The traditional sandwich assay fails, however, to adequately detect analytes that undergo complexation, alternative conformations or modification that make epitopes for the capture antibody, signal antibody, or both unavailable for binding.
- The present invention relates to the use of a sandwich immunoassay for detecting an analyte and one or more subforms thereof (FIG. 2). Subforms of the analyte may be due to causes including mutations, complexation, chemical modification, proteolysis or rearrangement. The present invention may also be used to detect more than one related analyte, such as an active protein and its inactive precursor or a class of similar analytes for which a single detection assay is developed.
- The analyte of interest and one or more subforms thereof may be detected by performing an immunoassay using antibodies specific for more than one epitope on the analyte either (i) on the capture side of the sandwich (FIG. 4), (ii) signal side of the sandwich (FIG. 3), (iii) or both (FIG. 5). By targeting at least three epitopes, in total, on the analyte of interest, the multiple sandwich assay of the present invention may detect the presence of the analyte and subforms thereof even if certain epitopes are unavailable for binding on the subform, so long as there is at least one epitope capable of binding by a capture antibody and at least one epitope available for binding by a signal antibody. The present invention is therefore able to detect analytes and multiple subforms thereof that appear within a sample.
- One of skill in the art will recognize that the invention described herein may detect an analyte of interest by using any binding member that is capable of specifically binding to an epitope on the analyte of interest. Binding members include, but are not limited to, extracellular or intracellular receptors, polynucleotides, peptide nucleic acids, and derivatives thereof.
- The use of multiple antibodies in the practice of the present invention is contrasted with the use of polyclonal antibodies in traditional sandwich assays; in addition, the present invention is superior. Within a given polyclonal preparation, the specific epitopes recognized and the ratio of various antibodies in the preparation is generally unknown. Furthermore, the epitopes recognized and the ratio of various antibodies vary between polyclonal preparations. Another deficiency in the polyclonal approach is that the binding of individual antibodies within the polyclonal preparation will have diverse binding affinities. As a result, a significant portion of polyclonal preparations are antibodies which have sub-standard analytical performances or which bind epitopes that compete with other antibodies in the preparation. By contrast, the present invention allows the preparation of controlled multi-epitopic reagents with more efficient assay characteristics because of better binding affinities and less reagent required for a given assay signal.
- In one exemplary embodiment of the invention, the immunoassay is based on a first antibody attached to a surface (i.e., “capture antibody” or “capture reagent”) and at least a second and third antibody, wherein each antibody binds to a different epitope on the analyte. The antibodies not attached to a surface may be labeled with a signal-generating element (i.e., “signal antibody” or “signal reagent”). See FIG. 3.
- In another exemplary embodiment of the invention, the immunoassay is based on at least a first and second capture antibody and a third antibody. The antibody not attached to a surface may be a signal antibody. See FIG. 4.
- In another exemplary embodiment of the invention, the immunoassay is based on at least a first and second capture antibody and at least a third and fourth antibody. The antibodies not attached to a surface may be signal antibodies. See FIG. 5.
- 4. Antibodies
- The antibodies of the present invention may be any antibody that specifically binds to an epitope available for binding on an analyte of interest or a subform thereof. The antibodies of the present invention include antibodies of classes IgG, IgM, IgA, IgD, and IgE, and fragments and derivatives thereof including Fab, F(ab′)2 and single chain antibodies. The antibodies of the present invention include monoclonal antibodies, polyclonal antibodies, affinity purified antibodies, or mixtures thereof which exhibit sufficient binding specificity to an epitope of the analyte or subform thereof. Monoclonal antibodies and fragments and derivatives thereof are preferred in the practice of the invention. The antibodies of the present invention preferably bind to epitopes of the analyte sufficiently removed from each other such that the antibodies do not mutually interfere with binding to the analyte or subform thereof. Appropriate antibodies for an analyte of interest may be chosen by means of mapping combinations of available antibodies to known epitope sites on the analyte using methods known in the art.
- Numerous methods exist for preparing antibody fragments, including the use of common enzymes such as pepsin, papain, ficin, and trypsin. For more information on antibody preparation and antibody fragmentation, see Harlow and Lane, Antibodies, A Laboratory Manual, Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory, N.Y., 1988, which is hereby incorporated by reference.
- The antibodies of the present invention may be specific for human cTnI. The antibodies may specifically recognize epitopes located on the primary sequence of cTnI as indicated in FIG. 9. The antibodies may also be chosen from those antibodies indicated in FIG. 9.
- 5. Capture
- Capture antibodies of the present invention may be immobilized by conjugating one or more antibodies to a surface. See, e.g., FIG. 6A and FIG. 6B. A wide variety of compounds may be employed as the surface, the primary consideration being the binding of the antibody to the surface, the absence of interference with the signal generating element, and the absence of interference with the examination of the label. In particular, if a fluorescence or chromogenic spectrum is being measured, the surface should not provide interference.
- Organic and inorganic polymers, both natural and synthetic, may be employed as the surface. Examples of suitable polymers include polyethylene, polypropylene, polybutylene, poly(4-methylbutylene), butyl rubber and other synthetic rubbers, silicone rubbers and silastic polymers, polyesters, polyimides, cellulose and cellulose derivatives (such as cellulose acetate, nitrocellulose and the like), acrylates, methacrylates, vinyl polymers (such as polyvinyl acetate, polyvinyl chloride, polyvinylidene chloride, polyvinyl fluoride, and the like), polystyrene and styrene graft copolymers, styrene-acrylonitrile copolymers, rayon, nylon, polyvinylbutyrate, polyformaldehyde, etc. Other materials which may be employed as the surface are silica gel, silicon wafers, glass, paper, insoluble protein, metals, metalloids, metal oxides, magnetic materials, semiconductive materials, cements or the like. In addition are included substances that form gels, i.e., proteins such as gelatins, lipopolysaccharides, silicates, agarose, polyacrylamides or polymers which form several aqueous phases such as dextrans, polyalkylene glycols (alkylene with 2 to 3 carbon atoms) or surfactants, e.g. amphophilic compounds such as phospholipids, long chain (12-24 carbon atoms) alkyl ammonium salts and the like.
- The surface may comprise polystyrene, styrene copolymers including styrene(vinyl monomer) copolymers such as styrene-acrylonitrile copolymers, polyolefins such as polyethylene and polypropylene, and acrylate and methacrylate polymers and copolymers and mixtures thereof.
- The surface may also comprise magnetizable materials in particulate form. Traditional interference by such magnetizable materials may be minimized by adding magnetizable particles to each of the reaction steps. Magnetic interference produced at each step may be made nearly equal, and thus is effectively cancelled. Magnetizable particles may be easily separated from the serum or other solution by application of a magnetic field to concentrate the particles.
- The capture antibody may be bound to the surface by any method of bonding which does not significantly reduce the antibody binding sites and which binds sufficiently to permit separation of the surface from the liquids and rinse solutions without significant detachment of antibody from the surface. Non-covalent bonding may be achieved by adsorption, ionic bonding, van der Waals adsorption, electrostatic bonding, and other non-covalent bonding. The antibody may also be bound to the surface by covalent bonding.
- Procedures for covalently adhering antibodies to surfaces are described by I. Chibata in IMMOBILIZED ENZYMES, Halsted Press, New York, 1978, and by A. Cuatrecasas, J.Bio.Chem. 245:3059 (1970), the entire contents of which are hereby incorporated by reference. The surface may be coated with a protein and coupled with antibody using the procedures described in U.S. Pat. No. 4,210,418 using glutaraldehyde as a coupling agent, for example. In an alternate procedure, the surface may be coated with a layer having free isocyanate groups such as a polyether isocyanate. Application of the antibody in aqueous solution thereto effects the requisite bonding. In another procedure, the antibody may be coupled to a hydroxylated material by means of cyanogen bromide as described in U.S. Pat. No. 3,720,760. In a still further procedure, Staphylococcus Protein A may be bound to the surface, and the Fc chain of the antibody can be conjugated with the Protein A.
- Capture antibodies may be attached to a surface by adhesion followed by chemical crosslinking. Crosslinking agents which may be used include, but are not limited to, 1-ethyl-3-(3-dimethylaminopropyl)-carbodiimide (EDC), glutaraldehyde, adipic acid dihydrazide, bis-diazotized benzidine, 1,4-butane diglycidyl ether, bis-maleimido hexane, sulfosuccinimidyl 4-(N-maleimidomethyl)-cyclohexane-1-carboxylate, and N-hydroxysuccinimidyl 4-azidosalicylic acid. EDC may be used for any surface that has free carboxyl groups. These and many other similar reagents are well known in the art.
- 6. Conjugation of Antibodies to a Common Member
- In another exemplary embodiment, the same or different antibodies may be conjugated to a common member, using any of the conjugation methods described above. Common members include, but are not limited to, a particle, microparticle (FIG. 6B), polypeptide (FIG. 6C), chemical linker, or a surface (FIG. 6A) as described above.
- A common member may be conjugated with more than one antibody, each antibody binding to a different epitope on the analyte being assayed. See FIG. 6. The multiple antibodies may be conjugated to the common member at controlled molar ratios, for example using methods where the stoichiometry of the conjugation reaction is controlled.
- In addition, multiple common members may be individually conjugated with a different antibody, each antibody binding to a different epitope on the analyte being assayed. See FIG. 7. Molar ratios of the different antibodies may be controlled, using methods such as the mixing of multiple common members with conjugated antibodies.
- a. Microparticle
- Antibodies may be attached to microparticles using any of the conjugation methods described above. Various factors may be considered when choosing the coupling method including, but not limited to type and size of particle, coupling reagents, concentration of reactants, single or multi-step reaction, reaction buffer and pH, storage buffer, and blocking agents. For more information on using microparticles, see Bangs TechNote #201 “Working with Microspheres”; Bangs TechNote #204 “Adsorption to Microspheres”; Bangs TechNote #205 “Covalent Coupling”; Seradyn Technical Method Bulletin “Recommended Adsorption and Covalent Coupling Procedure” (1999); Hager, H. J. “Latex Polymer Reagents for Diagnostic Tests”; U.S. Pat. No. 3,857,931; and Wong, Chemistry of Protein Conjugation and Cross-Linking, 1991, CRC Press, Boca Raton, Fla., which are incorporated herein by reference.
- 7. Signal
- Signal reagents may be prepared by conjugating an antibody to a signal-generating element by any of a number of common methods. Conjugates may be prepared, for example, by utilizing free sulfhydryl groups, generating sulflhydryl groups from available disulfide bonds, or introducing additional sulfhydryls onto the antibody. Linking agents, such as succinimydyl 4-(N-maleimidomethyl)cyclohexane-1-carboxylate (SMCC) may then used to conjugate the activated antibody to the signal-generating element. For more information on preparing antibody conjugates, see Pierce Instructions “ImmunoPure IgG1 Fab and F(ab′)2 Preparation Kit” #44880; Pierce Instructions “SMCC, Sulfo-SMCC” #22360, #22322; Pierce Instructions “EZ-Link Maleimide Activated Phosphatase Kit” # 31493; Beale, D.

When the signal-generating element is an enzyme, the enzyme may catalyze a reaction wherein the depletion of substrate or the production of product can be detected. Exemplary enzymes include, but are not limited to, amylases, polynucleotidase, arginase, adenase, aminopolypeptidase, pepsin, lipases, catalase, tyrosinases, alcohol dehydrogenase, succinic dehydrogenase, diaphorase, glyoxalase, aldolase, glucose oxidase, horseradish peroxidase, beta-galactosidase, phosphatases, phosphorylases and hexokinases. Exemplary enzymes also include alkaline phosphatase, glucose oxidase, horseradish peroxidase, β-galactosidase and phenol oxidase. The enzymatic conversion of a substrate to a product may be measured by for example optical and electrochemical means.
- a. Multiple Antibodies Conjugated to a Signal-Generating Element
- The sensitivity of a sandwich assay is limited largely by the level of non-specific adsorption of the signal reagent to the capture reagent and surfaces within the detection region of the analysis device. Such surfaces may include the walls of a cuvette, a wicking element, an electrode and the like. When the analyte is at low levels in a sample, a significant amount of the signal measured is background, and thus not related to the concentration of the analyte in the sample. The propensity of the signal reagent to non-specifically adsorb to surfaces within the analysis device may be a function of the inherent properties of the antibody and signal-generating element used to form the signal antibody, as well as the crosslinker. Additionally, the materials used in the analysis device (e.g., types of plastics) and the composition of the wash and substrate-containing solutions are generally optimized to minimize such non-specific protein adsorption. In particular, various surfactants,
e.g. Tween 20,Brij 35, Triton X100, are almost invariably used in sandwich assays to minimize unwanted interactions of the signal reagents with other components within the assay device. Non-enzymatic proteins such as serum albumin, denatured proteins such as gelatins, and deactivated enzymes may also be added as surface blocking agents in order to lower the level of non-specific adsorption of the signal reagent. Even when all components of the assay are optimized, there is still usually a detectable level of non-specific signal reagent adsorption. The level of this non-specific adsorption is proportional to the amount of signal reagent used in the assay. Therefore, using less signal reagent or using the same molar amount of a lower molecular weight signal reagent will usually result in a lower background signal in the assay. - The signal reagent may comprise fragments of antibodies, such as Fab fragments, which may contribute to lowering the level of background signal. By lowering the molecular weight of the signal reagent, the time required for the binding step may be reduced due to diffusional considerations. The signal reagent may also comprise more than one antibody, which may also lower background signal levels by minimizing the overall size of the signal reagent while maximizing its ability to generate a signal in response to the presence of the analyte of interest. The more than one antibody of the signal reagent may bind to two or more different epitopes of the analyte, which may lead to stabilization of the signal antibody-analyte complex when more than one epitope of the analyte is bound by more than one antibody of the signal reagent.
- When the signal reagent comprises more than one antibody, said antibodies may bind to one or more different epitopes.
- A signal-generating element may be conjugated with more than one antibody, each antibody binding to a different epitope on the analyte of interest. See FIG. 6C. The molar ratio of antibodies conjugated to the signal-generating element may be controlled by selecting the reaction conditions and stoichiometry for the conjugation reaction.
- A first antibody may be conjugated to a first signal-generating element and a second antibody may be conjugated to a second signal-generating element, each at a ratio greater than 1:1, and then mixed, wherein the first and second antibodies each bind to a different epitope on the analyte of interest. See FIG. 7B. The molar ratio of the first and second antibodies may also be controlled.
- The signal-generating element may be conjugated to a single antibody, or two or more antibodies to different epitopes on the same analyte, wherein the signal antibody comprises a ratio of signal-generating element to a population of antibodies from about 1:100 to about 1:1.001. The signal-generating element may also be conjugated to a population of antibodies at a ratio from about 1:90 to about 1:1.001. The signal-generating element may also be conjugated to a population of antibodies at a ratio from about 1:80 to about 1:1.001. The signal-generating element may also be conjugated to a population of antibodies at a ratio from about 1:70 to about 1:1.001. The signal-generating element may also be conjugated to a population of antibodies at a ratio from about 1:60 to about 1:1.001. The signal-generating element may also be conjugated to a population of antibodies at a ratio from about 1:50 to about 1:1.001. The signal-generating element may also be conjugated to a population of antibodies at a ratio from about 1:40 to about 1:1.001. The signal-generating element may also be conjugated to a population of antibodies at a ratio from about 1:30 to about 1:1.001. The signal-generating element may also be conjugated to a population of antibodies at a ratio from about 1:20 to about 1:1.001. The signal-generating element may also be conjugated to a population of antibodies at a ratio from about 1:10 to about 1:1.001, about 1:20 to about 1:10, about 1:30 to about 1:20, about 1:40 to about 1:30, about 1:50 to about 1:40, about 1:60 to about 1:50, about 1:70 to about 1:60, about 1:80 to about 1:70, about 1:90 to about 1:80, and about 1:100 to about 1:90.

- Having now generally described the invention, the following examples are provided in order to more fully illustrate the invention. These examples are for purposes of illustration only and are not intended to limit the scope of the invention.
- Conjugation of cTnI Capture Antibodies to a Particle
- Bead particles conjugated with antibodies specific for cTnI were prepared by first exchanging polystyrene/acrylic acid latex 0.2 μm diameter spheres (Seradyn) into 0.05 M 2-(N-morpholino)ethanesulfonic acid (MES, Sigma Aldrich) buffer at pH 6.2. To a 2% w/w solution of the latex spheres was added cTnI antibodies (buffer exchanged into the same 0.05 M MES buffer) at a controlled mass ratio relative to the mass of the latex spheres. The solution was stirred for 15 minutes at 4° C. and the antibody coated beads separated via controlled centrifugation. Typically sufficient antibody was added to fully saturate the latex bead surface (8% to 15% of the mass of the latex particles). The microparticle centrifuged pellet was then resuspended into MES buffer at 1% w/v density and 1 to 10 mM of EDC was added to covalently crosslink the adsorbed antibody to the latex spheres. The suspension was allowed to react for 4 to 12 hours at which time the latex particles were separated by centrifugation, resuspended at 1% in the MES buffer and the EDC addition was repeated. Using the above method, microparticle capture reagents were made comprising either CB1 (19C7, Hytest Inc.) or CB2 (34503228P, Biospacific Inc.). CB12 microparticles comprising both CB1 and CB2 were prepared using the above method by adding a mixture of the two capture antibodies.
- Preparation of Signal Antibodies
- The following method was used to prepare alkaline phosphatase (ALP) labeled Fab conjugates to be used as signal reagents. Alkaline phosphatase (Biozyme) was buffer exchanged into phosphate buffered saline (PBS). A 1 mg/ml to 15 mg/ml solution of the ALP was reacted with 25 weight percent (relative to the ALP weight in the solution) of the heterobifunctional crosslinker succinimidyl-4-[N-maleimidomethyl]-cyclohexane-1-carboxy[6-amidocaproate] (LCSMCC, Pierce). The crosslinker was added as a solution in dimethyl sulphoxide (DMSO, Sigma). This solution was allowed to react at room temperature for 45 minutes, after which it was centrifuged to remove precipitates. The activated ALP was separated from unreacted LCSMCC via a Sephadex G50 desalting column (Sigma Aldrich).
- Fab fragments of the antibodies to be incorporated into the signal reagent were formed via pepsin (Sigma) digestion of the whole antibodies and separated using a S200 sephacryl size exclusion column (Amersham Pharmacia). The resulting F(ab)2 fragments were chemically reduced in 60 mM mercaptoethylamine (MEA, Sigma Aldrich) for 45 minutes at 37° C. to produce two Fab fragments, which were separated from excess MEA by desalting using a sephadex G50 column. The Fab fragments were then added to activated ALP and allowed to react at 4° C. for 2 to 12 hours. The reaction was quenched with an equal volume of 0.1 M glycine (Sigma), 0.01 M cysteine (Pierce) in PBS pH 7.4. The reaction products were then fractionated on a Sephacryl S200 column to yield the signal reagent comprising Fab fragments. Signal reagents with specific molar ratios of Fab fragments to ALP were obtained by varying the ratio of Fab2 fragments to ALP in the reaction above. FIG. 12 shows the elution profile for ALP-Fab signal reagents with ALP:Fab ratios of 1:1, 1:3, 1:6 and 1:10.
- Using the above method, ALP-labeled signal reagents were made comprising either EC1 (G129C, Biospacific Inc.) or EC2 (G130C, Biospacific Inc.). EC12 signal reagents comprising both EC1 and EC2 were prepared using the above method by mixing the two fab fragments at a molar ratio of 1:1 before adding the mixture to activated ALP
- Preparation Of An ELISA Sensor With cTnI Capture Antibodies
- The following method was used to prepare an analyte detector comprising an immobilized layer of antibody labeled particles on an ELISA sensor. Briefly, amperometric sensors used in the analyte detector are fabricated using traditional semiconductor thin layer techniques on oxidized silicon wafers. The cTnI capture regions are produced by microdispensing solutions of the capture antibodies described in Example 1 using methods described in U.S. Pat. No. 5,554,339. Droplets of the particle-containing suspension are allowed to dry to form cTnI capture regions on the sensor surface. The sensor chips are assembled with a separated electrochemical grounding chip into a plastic base covered with a two sided adhesive tape gasket, laser cut with openings for the sensors, ground chip and fluidic channels. To this base assembly a plastic cover is added to form fluidic conduits. The enzyme labeled signal reagent of Example 2 is printed onto the same ELISA sensor as the capture antibodies. The signal reagent is formulated in a 1% to 50% sugar solution containing PBS and a preservative. This composition was found to provide rapid dissolution of the signal reagent into a blood sample. The assembled cartridge is pressed to yield the disposable cartridge, which may be used in a portable electrochemical analyzer.
- Comparison Of Detection Of cTnI Using Single or Multiple Capture Antibodies
- An analytical system for measuring cTnI was used of the general type described in U.S. Pat. No. 5,096,669, which is hereby incorporated by reference. Briefly, cartridges for assaying cTnI were produced using sensors coated with latex microsphere comprising CB1, CB2 and CB12 capture reagents, as described in Example 3. cTnI was assayed in three whole-blood samples to which either free cTnI (Scripps Laboratories) or ITC complex (Hytest Ltd) was added. The signal reagent EC12, as described in Example 2, was used to produce an amperometric signal based on dephosporylation of a substrate by ALP to produce an electroactive product. The amount of electroactive product is proportional to the amount of detectable cTnI.
- FIG. 10 shows high signal levels for cartridges comprising the CB1 capture reagent for both free cTnI (diamond points) and the two levels of ITC complex (square and triangle points). By contrast, cartridges comprising the CB2 capture reagent yield lower signals, especially for the ITC complex. Cartridges using the CB12 hybrid capture reagent show improved signal generation for both forms of cTnI relative to either CB1 or CB2 capture reagents. The improved performance of the CB12 capture reagent is surprising, because the hybrid reagent comprises the CB2 antibody that by itself has markedly lower analytical performance than the CB1 antibody.
- Comparison of Detection of cTnI Using Single or Multiple Signal Antibodies
- cTnI was assayed in a whole blood sample spiked with a 6.0 ng/mL cITC complex immediately after preparation and after a one-day incubation at room temperature using cartridges with sensors coated with latex microsphere comprising CB1 and CB12 capture reagents, as described in Example 3, and EC1, EC2 or EC12 signal reagents as described in Example 2. FIG. 11 demonstrates that the EC1 signal reagent shows a higher signal generation than the EC2 signal reagent. After a one day incubation of the sample to simulate aging of cTnI (e.g., proteolytic degradation), the signal level for the EC1 signal reagent drops significantly. In contrast, the EC2 signal reagent show only a modest drop in the signal level. The signal generation of the hybrid signal reagent EC12 is surprisingly superior to each of the two single antibody signal reagents, especially after incubating the sample for one day.
- Detection of cTnI in Serum as a Diagnosis of Myocardial Infarction
- Whole blood samples are obtained from patients suspected of suffering a myocardial infarction, as well as from control individuals. cTnI is assayed in the whole blood samples using cartridges with sensors coated with latex microsphere comprising CB12 capture reagents, as described in Example 3, and EC12 signal reagents as described in Example 2. The signal generated in samples derived from patients suspected of suffering an MI is compared to the level of signal from controls. Levels of signal greater than control indicate that the patient has suffered a MI.
