Description
【0001】
【発明の属する技術分野】
本発明はCA125の測定において、非特異反応を抑制して感度よく測定を行なう方法に関する。
【0002】
【従来の技術】
CA125は、モノクローナル抗体OC125により認識される抗原で分子量約11万の糖蛋白であり、卵巣癌の腫瘍マーカーとして重要な検査項目である。特に卵巣癌の漿液性嚢胞腺癌で高値である。また、その他の疾患としては、子宮癌、膵癌、胆のう胆管癌で高値となることから、CA125は婦人科系の癌と消化器癌のマーカーとして診断と予後判定の指標として有用である。
【0003】
CA125の測定方法としては、固相にOC125抗体を固定化して試料中のCA125と反応させ、さらに標識されたOC125抗体を反応させた後にB/F分離を行ない、固相に捕捉された標識量を測定する方法がある(特開平2-280061号)。
【0004】
ところが、測定試料中にOC125抗体とよく反応する物質が存在する場合、例えば測定試料中に抗マウスγ−グロブリン(HAMA)が存在する場合、それがOC125抗体と結合して、本来目的としているCA125との反応を阻害してしまい、正確な測定ができなくなってしまう。そこで、OC125抗体とは異なるCA125上のエピトープを認識するモノクローナル抗体M11等を標識抗体に用いて対策を行なっている。また、一般的には、測定試料にマウスγ−グロブリンを添加することによる前処理を行うことで対策している場合もある。
【0005】
【発明が解決しようとする課題】
しかしながら、上記のような方法を取ったとしても、抗マウスγ−グロブリン(HAMA)による干渉がなくなるわけではなく、対策方法としては不十分である。
【0006】
また、粒子凝集法により測定を行なう場合、たとえOC125とM11の二つの抗体を粒子上に感作して使用したとしても、粒子はOC125−CA125−M11という結合だけで凝集するのではなく、OC125−CA125−OC125といった結合によっても粒子が凝集を起こす。そういった場合、上述の場合と同じ問題が発生し、正確な測定ができなくなる。
【0007】
そこで本発明は、より正確にCA125の測定を行なう方法を提供することを目的とする。
【0008】
また、粒子凝集法を用いて、CA125の測定を行う方法を提供することを目的とする。
【0009】
【課題を解決するための手段】
本発明のCA125の測定方法は、CA125と特異的に反応する免疫グロブリンの一価の抗体と二価の抗体を固相に固定化して使用することを特徴とする。
【0010】
【発明の実施の形態】
本発明で使用するCA125と特異的に反応する免疫グロブリンには、モノクローナル抗体OC125とM11を含む。しかし、CA125と特異的に反応するものであれば、ポリクローナル抗体であってもよく、その由来は特に問わない。抗体の作製にあたっては、常法(例えば、新生化学実験講座、タンパク質I、p.389-397, 1992参照)に従い、CA125を動物に免疫し、生体内に産生される抗体を採取することにより得ることができる。本発明では、1種類の抗体を用いるよりも、互いに異なるエピトープを認識する複数の抗体を組み合わせて用いる方が測定の特異性及び感度上昇の点から好ましい。
【0011】
本発明で使用するCA125と特異的に反応する免疫グロブリンの二価の抗体とは、分子内に抗原結合部位を2個もつ抗体をいい、例えばモノクローナル抗体OC125やM11等のモノクローナル抗体、またはポリクローナ抗体等の抗体そのもの、さらにはこれらの抗体に酵素処理等を施して得られるフラグメントであっても構わない。このようなフラグメントには、例えば抗体をペプシンで消化して得られるF(ab')2を含む。
【0012】
CA125と特異的に反応する免疫グロブリンの一価の抗体とは、分子内に抗原結合部位を1個もつ抗体をいい、免疫グロブリンを還元したもの、あるいはそれらに酵素処理等を施したもの、例えばFabやFab'を含む。一価の抗体は上述の二価の抗体を還元してS-S結合を切断することによって得られる。抗体の還元方法は、従来より知られている方法を使用すればよく、例えば、1〜100mMの2-メルカプトエタノールや2-メルカプトエチルアミン等中で1〜5時間インキュベーションすることにより一価の抗体を回収することができる。
【0013】
本発明においては、一価の抗体と二価の抗体を固相に固定化して使用する。一価の抗体だけでは、非特異反応が減少するだけでなく、特異性も低くなるので、二価の抗体を組み合わせて使用することにより、特異性を維持したままHAMA等による非特異反応を抑制することができる。本発明では、二価の抗体を非特異反応による干渉が起きない程度に固相に感作して用いることができる。感作させる一価の抗体と、二価の抗体との好適な割合は、1:9〜9:1、好ましくは1:1〜1:5であり、リン酸緩衝溶液(PBS)等の緩衝液中に前記の割合で混合した抗体溶液を、固相に感作して用いることができる。感作させるのに好適なpHは3〜8、より好適にはpH4〜6である。
【0014】
本発明では、上記のようにして調製された一価の抗体と二価の抗体とを固相に固定化して使用するが、固相としては、通常当分野で使用されているものであれば使用することができ、例えば赤血球、ゼラチン粒子、ラテックス粒子、マイクロプレート、試験管等が使用できる。
【0015】
一価の抗体と二価の抗体とを固相に固定化するには、従来より二価の抗体を固定化するときに使用される方法をそのまま使用することができ、物理吸着法、共有結合法等により行なうことができる。特に物理吸着法は簡単な操作で行なうことができ、一般的な方法としては、例えば上記で得られた抗体溶液を固相と接触させ(固相が粒子の場合は粒子懸濁液と混合し)、4℃で一晩または25℃で数時間反応させて行なうことができる。
【0016】
本発明の方法により測定することのできる生物学的試料には、血漿、血清等の血液成分を含む。
【0017】
本発明によりCA125の測定を行なうには、種々の態様のサンドイッチ法、ならびに競合法を含むどのような型のイムノアッセイを用いてもよい。さらには、粒子表面を固相として用いて一価の抗体と二価の抗体を感作し、粒子の凝集度を測定することによりCA125の量を測定することもできる。
【0018】
例えばサンドイッチ法では、抗体を固定化した反応容器にCA125を含む試料を入れ、所定温度で所定時間インキュベートする。次に、標識された抗体溶液を添加し、さらに所定温度で所定時間インキュベートして反応させる。抗体への標識方法は、通常抗体に対して行なうのと同じ方法により行なうことができる。なお、固相抗体として、OC125抗体及びOC125の一価の抗体を用いる場合は、標識抗体としてはOC125抗体あるいはOC125の一価の抗体を用いてもよいが、OC125とは異なるエピトープを認識するM11抗体あるいはM11の一価の抗体の方が好ましい。その後、B/F分離を行なって、固相に捕捉された標識物の量を測定する。そして、あらかじめ作成された検量線から測定試料中のCA125の量を決定する。
【0019】
粒子凝集法を用いて測定を行なう場合、一価の抗体と二価の抗体を感作した粒子懸濁液とCA125を含む試料とを混合し、30〜50℃、好ましくは37〜45℃の範囲で、5〜30分、好ましくは10〜20分インキュベートする。その後、目視あるいは粒子計数装置で凝集状態を確認する。粒子計数装置(例えば、東亞医用電子株式会社のPAMIAシリーズ)を用いて未凝集/凝集粒子を計数する場合には、使用する粒子は粒径のそろったものが好ましく、そういう点では、ラテックス粒子が最も好ましい。粒子の大きさについては、通常使用されているものが使用でき、0.5〜1μmが好適に使用される。材質についても、当分野で使用されているものならばとくに制限されないが、ポリスチレンラテックスが最も好ましい。
【0020】
粒子に感作する抗体は一種類の抗体でもよいが、それとは別のエピトープを認識する抗体を混合して感作して使用すれば、特異性及び感度を高める上で有利である。例えば、OC125の一価の抗体だけでなく、M11の一価の抗体を感作して使用することができる。二つの抗体の比は、1:9〜9:1が好適であり、さらには1:1が好ましい。また、特異性を維持するために、HAMA等との非特異反応による干渉を起こさない程度に、それぞれの一価の抗体に対応する二価の抗体を感作して使用する。一価の抗体と二価の抗体との好ましい割合は、上述の通りである。例えば、OC125の一価の抗体及びOC125抗体と、M11の一価の抗体及びM11抗体の四つの抗体を同じ粒子上に感作して使用することができる。
【0021】
なお、粒子凝集法は、B/F分離を必要としないので、簡便な操作で、短時間で測定を行なえるので好ましい。
【0022】
【実施例】
実施例1:一価の抗体の調製
OC125抗体(セントコア社より入手)2.0mgを、10mM 2-メルカプトエチルアミン塩酸塩及び0.5mM EDTA-4Naを含む10mMPBS(pH7.0)水溶液2mlに溶解し、37℃で2時間インキュベーションした後、氷冷する。その後、0.1Mモノヨードアセトアミドを含む10mMPBS(pH6.0)水溶液を、使用した 2-メルカプトエチルアミン塩酸塩と等モルになるように添加してブロックし、室温で2時間インキュベーションする。

得られた結果を下表に示す。
【0034】
【表4】
【0035】

また、粒子凝集法により測定を行うことによって、従来より簡単な操作で、短時間にCA125の測定を行うことができる。[0001]
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
The present invention relates to a method for measuring CA125 with high sensitivity by suppressing non-specific reactions.
[0002]
[Prior art]
CA125 is an antigen recognized by the monoclonal antibody OC125, a glycoprotein having a molecular weight of about 110,000, and is an important test item as a tumor marker for ovarian cancer. It is particularly high in ovarian cancer serous cystadenocarcinoma. In addition, as other diseases, uterine cancer, pancreatic cancer, and gallbladder bile duct cancer become high, CA125 is useful as a marker for gynecological cancer and digestive organ cancer and as an index for diagnosis and prognosis.
[0003]
The measurement method of CA125 is to fix the OC125 antibody on the solid phase, react with CA125 in the sample, react with the labeled OC125 antibody, perform B / F separation, and capture the amount of label captured on the solid phase. There is a method of measuring (Japanese Patent Laid-Open No. 2-280061).
[0004]
However, when a substance that reacts well with the OC125 antibody is present in the measurement sample, for example, when anti-mouse γ-globulin (HAMA) is present in the measurement sample, it binds to the OC125 antibody and is the originally intended CA125. Reaction will be hindered and accurate measurement will not be possible. Therefore, a countermeasure is taken using a labeled antibody such as monoclonal antibody M11 that recognizes an epitope on CA125 different from the OC125 antibody. In general, there may be a case where a pretreatment is performed by adding mouse γ-globulin to the measurement sample.
[0005]
[Problems to be solved by the invention]
However, even if it takes the above methods, the interference by anti-mouse γ-globulin (HAMA) is not lost, and it is insufficient as a countermeasure method.
[0006]
In addition, when measuring by the particle aggregation method, even if two antibodies of OC125 and M11 are sensitized and used on the particles, the particles are not aggregated only by the binding of OC125-CA125-M11. The particles also aggregate due to the bonds such as -CA125-OC125. In such a case, the same problem as described above occurs, and accurate measurement cannot be performed.
[0007]
Accordingly, an object of the present invention is to provide a method for measuring CA125 more accurately.
[0008]
It is another object of the present invention to provide a method for measuring CA125 using a particle agglutination method.
[0009]
[Means for Solving the Problems]
The method for measuring CA125 of the present invention is characterized in that a monovalent antibody and a divalent antibody of an immunoglobulin that specifically reacts with CA125 are immobilized on a solid phase and used.
[0010]
DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION
Immunoglobulins that specifically react with CA125 used in the present invention include monoclonal antibodies OC125 and M11. However, a polyclonal antibody may be used as long as it reacts specifically with CA125, and its origin is not particularly limited. In the production of an antibody, according to a conventional method (for example, see New Chemistry Laboratory, Protein I, p.389-397, 1992), CA125 is immunized to an animal, and the antibody produced in vivo is collected. be able to. In the present invention, it is preferable to use a combination of a plurality of antibodies recognizing different epitopes from the viewpoint of measurement specificity and sensitivity, rather than using one kind of antibody.
[0011]
The immunoglobulin bivalent antibody that specifically reacts with CA125 used in the present invention refers to an antibody having two antigen-binding sites in the molecule, for example, a monoclonal antibody such as monoclonal antibody OC125 or M11, or a polyclonal antibody. Or fragments obtained by subjecting these antibodies to enzyme treatment or the like. Such fragments include, for example, F (ab ′) 2 obtained by digesting an antibody with pepsin.
[0012]
A monovalent antibody of an immunoglobulin that specifically reacts with CA125 refers to an antibody having one antigen-binding site in the molecule, such as those obtained by reducing immunoglobulin, or those subjected to enzyme treatment, for example, Includes Fab and Fab '. A monovalent antibody can be obtained by reducing the above-mentioned divalent antibody to cleave the SS bond. For the antibody reduction method, a conventionally known method may be used. For example, a monovalent antibody is obtained by incubation in 1 to 100 mM 2-mercaptoethanol, 2-mercaptoethylamine or the like for 1 to 5 hours. It can be recovered.
[0013]
In the present invention, a monovalent antibody and a divalent antibody are immobilized on a solid phase and used. A monovalent antibody alone not only reduces non-specific reactions, but also lowers specificity. By using a combination of bivalent antibodies, it suppresses non-specific reactions such as HAMA while maintaining specificity. can do. In the present invention, a bivalent antibody can be used after being sensitized to a solid phase to the extent that interference due to nonspecific reaction does not occur. A suitable ratio between the monovalent antibody to be sensitized and the divalent antibody is 1: 9 to 9: 1, preferably 1: 1 to 1: 5, and a buffer such as a phosphate buffer solution (PBS). The antibody solution mixed in the above ratio in the liquid can be used after sensitizing the solid phase. The preferred pH for sensitization is 3-8, more preferably pH 4-6.
[0014]
In the present invention, the monovalent antibody and the divalent antibody prepared as described above are used by immobilizing them on a solid phase, and any solid phase that is usually used in the art can be used. For example, erythrocytes, gelatin particles, latex particles, microplates, test tubes and the like can be used.
[0015]
To immobilize a monovalent antibody and a divalent antibody on a solid phase, the conventional method used to immobilize a divalent antibody can be used as it is. This can be done by law. In particular, the physical adsorption method can be performed by a simple operation. As a general method, for example, the antibody solution obtained above is brought into contact with a solid phase (if the solid phase is particles, mixed with a particle suspension). ), Overnight at 4 ° C or several hours at 25 ° C.
[0016]
Biological samples that can be measured by the method of the present invention include blood components such as plasma and serum.
[0017]
Any type of immunoassay may be used to measure CA125 according to the present invention, including various embodiments of the sandwich method as well as the competitive method. Furthermore, the amount of CA125 can be measured by sensitizing a monovalent antibody and a divalent antibody using the particle surface as a solid phase and measuring the degree of particle aggregation.
[0018]
For example, in the sandwich method, a sample containing CA125 is placed in a reaction vessel on which an antibody is immobilized, and incubated at a predetermined temperature for a predetermined time. Next, a labeled antibody solution is added and further reacted by incubating at a predetermined temperature for a predetermined time. The labeling method for the antibody can be performed by the same method as that for the normal antibody. In the case where OC125 antibody and OC125 monovalent antibody are used as the solid phase antibody, OC125 antibody or OC125 monovalent antibody may be used as the labeled antibody, but M11 recognizes an epitope different from OC125. An antibody or a monovalent antibody of M11 is preferred. Thereafter, B / F separation is performed, and the amount of the label captured on the solid phase is measured. Then, the amount of CA125 in the measurement sample is determined from a calibration curve prepared in advance.
[0019]
When measuring using the particle agglutination method, a monovalent antibody and a particle suspension sensitized with a bivalent antibody are mixed with a sample containing CA125, and the temperature is 30 to 50 ° C., preferably 37 to 45 ° C. Incubate for 5-30 minutes, preferably 10-20 minutes. Thereafter, the aggregation state is confirmed visually or with a particle counter. When counting unaggregated / aggregated particles using a particle counter (for example, PAMIA series of Toago Medical Electronics Co., Ltd.), it is preferable that the particles used have a uniform particle size. Most preferred. As for the size of the particles, those usually used can be used, and 0.5 to 1 μm is preferably used. The material is not particularly limited as long as it is used in this field, but polystyrene latex is most preferable.
[0020]
The antibody that sensitizes the particles may be a single type of antibody, but mixing and sensitizing an antibody that recognizes another epitope is advantageous in increasing specificity and sensitivity. For example, not only the monovalent antibody of OC125 but also the monovalent antibody of M11 can be used after sensitization. The ratio of the two antibodies is preferably 1: 9 to 9: 1, and more preferably 1: 1. In addition, in order to maintain the specificity, a bivalent antibody corresponding to each monovalent antibody is sensitized and used to the extent that interference due to non-specific reaction with HAMA or the like does not occur. The preferred ratio of monovalent antibody to divalent antibody is as described above. For example, OC125 monovalent antibody and OC125 antibody, and M11 monovalent antibody and M11 antibody, which are four antibodies, can be sensitized on the same particle and used.
[0021]
The particle agglutination method is preferable because it does not require B / F separation and can be measured in a short time with a simple operation.
[0022]
【Example】
Example 1: Preparation of monovalent antibody
2.0 mg of OC125 antibody (obtained from Centcore) was dissolved in 2 ml of 10 mM PBS (pH 7.0) containing 10 mM 2-mercaptoethylamine hydrochloride and 0.5 mM EDTA-4Na, incubated at 37 ° C. for 2 hours, and then ice-cooled. To do. Thereafter, a 10 mM PBS (pH 6.0) aqueous solution containing 0.1 M monoiodoacetamide is added so as to be equimolar with 2-mercaptoethylamine hydrochloride used, and the mixture is incubated at room temperature for 2 hours.
[0023]
Next, gel filtration is performed with 10 mM PBS (pH 6.0) using Superdex 200pg (Pharmacia) to recover monovalent antibodies.
[0024]
The same operation is performed for the M11 antibody (obtained from St. Core) to collect the monovalent antibody.
[0025]
Example 2: Preparation of antibody-sensitized latex Polystyrene latex having a particle size of 0.8 µm was prepared at a concentration of 0.5% (w / v) in 0.1 M PBS (pH 6.0), and various kinds thereof were described below. A total of 300 μg of bivalent antibody and / or monovalent antibody prepared in Example 1 per ml of latex suspension (150 μg of OC125 antibody and its monovalent antibody in total, M11 antibody and its monovalent) Were added in a total of 150 μg) and reacted at 4 ° C. for 24 hours. Thereafter, centrifugation (12000 rpm, 10 min.) Was performed, and the same amount of 10 mM PBS (pH 6.0) solution containing 5% BSA was added to disperse the particles. Centrifugation was performed once again and dispersed in the same solution to obtain an antibody-sensitized latex.
Various latex reagents were prepared with the combinations of antibodies shown in the table below.
[0026]
[Table 1]
[0027]
[Table 2]
[0028]
Example 3: CA125 measurement sample (serum) 10 μl, 10 mM PBS containing 5% BSA (pH 6.0) 80 μl was added, and various antibody-sensitized latex particles (0.5%) 10 μl prepared in Example 2 were added. After reacting at 45 ° C. for 15 minutes, the agglomeration rate of latex particles was measured. This reaction was performed using a fully automatic immunoassay device PAMIA-30 manufactured by Toago Medical Electronics Co., Ltd.
[0029]
Aggregation rate (P / T%) is expressed as aggregated particle count (P) relative to total particle count (T).
[0030]
For samples containing 0 to 2665 U / ml of known concentrations of CA125, the latex agglutination rate was measured, and the following results were obtained, and a calibration curve was prepared for each. Further, the concentration of CA125 exhibiting an aggregation rate of (latex aggregation rate at 0 U / ml) + 0.2% was determined from each calibration curve, and used as the sensitivity of the latex reagent.
[0031]
[Table 3]
[0032]
As is clear from this result, the sensitivity was remarkably improved by combining bivalent antibodies ((2) to (6)) as compared with the case of sensitizing only the monovalent antibody ((1)). .
[0033]
Effect on non-specific reaction For the above (2) to (6), three specimens (specimens containing factors that cause non-specific agglutination reaction in a particle agglutination reaction) are measured and non-specific reactions are measured. The effect on the reaction was investigated. As a control, CA125IIIRMA (RIA method using OC125 monoclonal antibody as a solid phase and radiolabeled M11 monoclonal antibody as a labeled antibody: manufactured by TFB Co., Ltd.) is used as a comparative method. A latex reagent sensitized by removing the monovalent antibody from the latex reagent of 6 ▼ was prepared, and the same operation was performed to measure CA125.
The results obtained are shown in the table below.
[0034]
[Table 4]
[0035]
As is clear from the table, in the comparative method, non-specific aggregation occurs due to non-specific reaction, so the data becomes high, but the non-specific reaction is suppressed by combining a monovalent antibody and a divalent antibody.
[0036]
Correlation with the conventional method Using the latex reagents (2) to (6), 41 patient serum samples were measured, and the correlation with the conventional method CA125IIIRMA (RIA method) was determined.
The regression line equation and the correlation coefficient are as follows, and a good correlation with the conventional method was recognized.
(2): Y = 1.006X + 2.035, r = 0.965
(3): Y = 1.001X + 3.166, r = 0.974
(4): Y = 1.063X + 2.225, r = 0.965
(5): Y = 1.112X + 4.872, r = 0.960
(6): Y = 1.147X + 5.475, r = 0.961

Example 4: Comparison of latex reagent sensitized with only divalent antibody and latex reagent of the present invention
A latex reagent sensitized with 150 μg of OC125 antibody and 150 μg of M11 antibody (both per ml of latex suspension) was prepared by the method described above. Correlation with CA125IIIRMA (RIA method) was determined for each of the latex reagent and the latex reagent (4) described in Example 3 of the present invention. Measurements were performed on 524 specimens (up to CA125 concentration of 500 U / ml) including specimens showing non-specific reactions.
[0038]
In particular, in the correlation of specimens up to 140 U / ml (n = 503), the correlation coefficient r = 0.610 for the latex reagent with only the bivalent antibody, whereas in the latex reagent (4) of the present invention, the correlation coefficient was r = 0.610. The relation number r was 0.884, the nonspecific reaction was suppressed, and the correlation with the RIA method was extremely improved.
[0039]
【The invention's effect】
According to the present invention, interference with an interfering substance such as an antibody (for example, HAMA) against an animal immunoglobulin present in a measurement sample can be efficiently reduced and the specificity can be maintained, so that CA125 can be measured more accurately. it can.
[0040]
Further, by measuring by the particle agglutination method, CA125 can be measured in a short time with a simpler operation than before.
