Definitions

  • the present invention relates generally to techniques for detecting a solute of interest in a fluid sample and more particularly to on-line techniques for detecting a solute of interest in an effluent sample produced by a differential migration separation technique.
  • Differential migration separation techniques are well-known in the biological and chemical arts and are commonly used to separate a mixture of solutes present in a fluid sample.
  • One example of a differential migration separation technique is chromatography. Chromatography typically involves the separation of solutes according to their differential partitioning between two or three phases, the phases frequently being solid and liquid phases. Solute partitioning results from the differing mobilities of the various solutes in the sample through a matrix of solid particles in the presence of a flowing liquid phase, solute transfer through the solid matrix typically being driven by a pressure gradient. Based on the specific type of solid matrix used, chromatography can be used to separate solutes by any number of characteristics, including size, electrical charge, hydrophobicity, hydrophilicity and/or a specific affinity for the matrix or a ligand bound thereon.
  • Electrophoresis typically involves the separation of solutes based on their differential electrophoretic mobility through a matrix. Solute transfer in such a system is driven by a voltage gradient from an applied electric field.
  • the product of a differential migration separation technique is typically a continuous effluent stream exiting the matrix within which the various solutes of the mixture are spatially separated from one another.
  • Determination of the location of the various solutes, or of a particular solute of interest, within the effluent stream has typically been achieved by collecting the effluent stream as a series of discrete fractions and then sampling the fractions by any of a number of means known in the art to identify their contents.
  • Examples of techniques known in the art for detecting various analytes in solution include U.S. Patent No. 4,281 ,061 , inventors Zuk et al., which issued July 28, 1981; U.S. Patent No. 4,207,075, inventor Liburdy, which issued June 10, 1980; U.S. Patent No.
  • patent relates to an on-line method for rapidly identifying the presence and location of a preselected solute or subset of solutes in an effluent stream and comprises first passing a mixture through a system capable of separating the solutes in the mixture so that they are temporally and spatially separated from one another to some degree as they exit the system in a fluid phase (effluent stream).
  • the first system may be a liquid chromatography matrix, e.g., a column, or other means for separating solutes, such as an electrophoresis module.
  • the effluent stream from this first solute separation system is then passed through a UV absorbance detector to produce a first output depicting the elution profile of all UV absorbing solutes (e.g., proteins, nucleic acids, etc.) exiting the column.
  • Identification of a particular UV absorbing solute of interest within the many UV absorbing solutes is then determined by passing at least a portion of the effluent stream through a second system capable of selectively removing the solute of interest from the fluid phase, preferably using immunoadsorbents and immunoaffinity matrices.
  • the effluent stream exiting the second system is then passed through the same or a similar UV detector to produce a second output depicting the elution profile of all UV absorbing solutes exiting the second system. Because the second system selectively removes the solute of interest without altering the temporal and/or spatial arrangement of the other solutes in the effluent stream, the difference between the first and second outputs can be used to determine the presence and location of the solute of interest in the effluent stream.
  • IgG is the solute of interest and the second system contains a perfusive Protein A affinity matrix.
  • the present inventor has identified several shortcomings with the Afevan et aL technique.
  • One such shortcoming is that the second system, which is used to remove the solute of interest from the effluent stream, can quickly become saturated with the solute of interest and, therefore, has to be periodically washed or replaced to prevent the solute from going undetected.
  • a second shortcoming with the Afevan et al. technique is that the range of solutes capable of being removed by the second system may be limited by the type of affinity sorbents capable of being immobilized on a matrix. Moreover, even in those instances in which immobilization of the affinity sorbent can be performed, the costs of immobilization can be high, particularly for some affinity sorbents like Protein A and Protein G.
  • a third shortcoming with the Afevan et al. technique is that the identification of a difference between the first and second outputs may be difficult to make in those instances in which one or more solutes co-elute from the column with the solute in question.
  • a fourth shortcoming with the Afevan et al. technique is that UV absorbance is incapable of detecting quantities of biomolecules less than about 0.1 mg/ml, with even larger quantities being required in the presence of interfering solutes.
  • a fifth shortcoming with the Afevan et al. technique is that the affinity matrix used therein might cause some interaction with other solutes present in the effluent sample and thus change the spatial distribution of solutes exiting the affinity matrix, thereby causing some difficulty in identifying the solute of interest.
  • a method for detecting the presence of a solute of interest in an effluent sample comprising the steps of: (a) adding to the effluent sample a fluorescent agent which preferentially binds to the solute of interest and whose fluorescence is different when bound to the solute than when not bound to the solute; (b) exciting the effluent sample in such a way as to cause the fluorescent agent to fluoresce in accordance with whether or not the fluorescent agent is bound to the solute; and (c) detecting the fluorescence emitted from the effluent sample, whereby detected fluorescence consistent with the binding of the fluorescent agent to the solute of interest is indicative of the presence of the solute of interest in the effluent sample.
  • the effluent sample subjected to the above-described method may be produced by a differential migration separation technique, such as chromatography or electrophoresis.
  • the fluorescent agent added to the effluent sample preferably comprises a conjugate of a moiety having an affinity for the solute of interest and a fluorescent moiety that does not give a large positive response to bovine serum albumin (BSA).

In addition, computer 51 uses the outputs from systems 21 and 41 , together with data inputted thereto regarding the flow rate of the system (which can be in the range of 0.1 to 30 ml/min), to determine the corresponding location within major stream 27 of the peak concentration of the solute of interest. Computer 51 then uses this information to control a valve 55 located in the path of major stream 27 to selectively collect only that portion of major stream 27 containing the peak concentration of the solute of interest.
  • computer 51 is also electrically connected to valve 25 so that sample 13 is split only after a UV absorbing solute has been detected by system 21.
  • computer 51 is electrically connected to mixer 31 so that mixer 31 is actuated only when valve 25 splits sample 13 into major stream 27 and minor stream 29.
  • system 11 could be used to determine the concentration of a solute of interest in sample 13.
  • system 11 can detect solutes of interest at as low a concentration as 0.01 mg/ml whereas the aforementioned UV systems have a detection limit of 0.1 mg/ml. Furthermore, system 11 is capable of detecting as little as 5 ⁇ g IgG in the presence of 500 ⁇ g BSA whereas UV-based systems cannot.
  • Protein A-FITC conjugate was synthesized as follows: 0.2 ml of 20 mg/ml Protein A was combined with 0.5 ml of 0.2 M sodium bicarbonate buffer at pH 9. 1 mg of FITC was dissolved in 0.1 ml DMSO by vortexing. The FITC solution was then added to the Protein A solution, and the resulting mixture, after vortexing for 10 seconds, was stirred on a rocker at room temperature for 7 hours. The resultant Protein A-FITC conjugate was purified by gel permeation chromatography (Ultrogel AcA44, BioSepra, Marlborough, MA) using PBS containing 0.02% sodium azide as the loading and elution buffer. The first band (10 ml) was collected for the conjugate. The concentration ofthe conjugate was approximately 0.4 mg/ml, which was then diluted to 0.001 mg/ml in PBS.
  • Protein A-DTAF conjugate and Protein G-DTAF conjugate were synthesized in the same fashion as described above in Example 1 for Protein A-FITC, except that the reaction time was 2.5 hours.
  • Protein A-FITC, Protein A-DTAF and Protein G-DTAF were each used in an on-line detection system similar to system 11 to detect human IgG (HIgG) in a mixture containing 5 ⁇ g HIgG and 500 ⁇ g BSA. All three conjugates showed a relatively small peak for BSA, as well as a relatively large peak for HIgG. However, the small BSA peak was reduced to the noise level by the addition of about 2 ⁇ of a 0.1 mg/ml solution of hydrolyzed free FITC to 200 ml of a 0.001 mg/ml solution of the conjugate, the final concentration of the free FITC being about 10 "6 mg/ml.

  • Protein A-FITC and Protein G-DTAF were also used in an on-line detection system similar to system 11 to detect 5 ⁇ g quantities of mouse IgG (mlgG), bovine IgG (BlgG) and rabbit IgG (RlgG), respectively. Both conjugates resulted in the generation of easily detectable peaks for all three immunoglobulins.
  • a positive peak for rabbit IgG was observed when Protein G-DTAF was used for a mixture containing 5 ⁇ g rabbit IgG and 500 ⁇ g BSA, and a positive peak for mouse IgG was also observed when Protein A-FTIC was used for a mixture containing 5 ⁇ g mouse IgG and 500 ⁇ g BSA.
  • Protein A-FITC was used to detect bovine IgG, a weaker peak was observed than was observed when Protein A-FITC was used to detect HIgG, mlgG and RlgG. Without wishing to be limited by any theory, the present inventor believes that this weaker peak was the result of the fact that Protein A binds somewhat weakly to BlgG.
  • a Protein A-HCCS (7-hydroxycoumarin-3-carboxylic acid, succinimidyl ester) conjugate was synthesized as follows: 0.2 ml of 20 mg/ml Protein A solution (4 mg Protein A) in 0.5 ml of 0.2 M sodium bicarbonate at pH 8.3 was reacted with 2 mg HCCS in 0.1 ml DMSO at room temperature for 3 hours. The reaction was stopped by adding 0.1 ml of 1 M NH 2 OH followed by stirring the resulting mixture at room temperature for 1 hour. The resultant Protein A-HCCS conjugate was then isolated using GPC and PBS as an elution buffer. A Protein G-HCCS conjugate was made in a comparable fashion. As seen in Figs. 3(a) and 3(b), each of the Protein A-HCCS and Protein G-
  • HCCS conjugates produced a fairly strong BSA peak, as well as an HIgG peak. Without wishing to be limited by any theory, the present inventor believes that the strong BSA peak may attributable to a lack of sufficient hydrophilicity in the coumarin moieties.
  • Protein A-MCCS (7-methoxycoumarin-3-carboxylic acid, succinimidyl ester) and Protein G-MCCS were synthesized in a manner corresponding to that described in Example 6 for Protein A-HCCS and Protein G-HCCS, respectively. As seen in Figs.4(a) and 4(b), Protein A-MCCS and Protein G-MCCS, respectively, gave even bigger peaks for BSA than did Protein A-HCCS and Protein G-HCCS, respectively. Moreover, Protein A-MCCS and Protein G-MCCS did not respond well to HIgG.
  • EXAMPLE 8 Conjugates of Protein A-CFSE (carboxyfluorescein succinimidyl ester), Protein G-CFSE, Protein A-FHSE (6-(fluorescein-5-(and-6-)-carboxamido)hexanoic acid succinimidyl ester) and Protein G-FHSE were synthesized in a manner corresponding to that described in Example 6, except that 2 mg of CFSE and FHSE were used.
  • a 1 :1 mixture of Protein A-CFSE (0.0003 mg/ml) and Protein G-CFSE (0.0003 mg/ml) running at a flow rate of 2 ml/min. each pump did not produce any peaks to BSA, but did produce good signals to HIgG, mlgG, RlgG and BlgG and detectable peaks to goat anti-mlgG and goat anti- RIgG.
  • EXAMPLE 10 Protein G-DTAF, which had been stored for 76 days in a refrigerator, was used as a peak-tracking agent in a dilute (0.0003 mg/ml) PBS solution. As seen in Fig. 7, the Protein G-DTAF was still effective in producing peaks to HIgG, RlgG, mlgG, BlgG, goat anti-RIgG, goat anti-HIgG and goat anti-mlgG. A small peak to BSA was also detected.
  • HlgG-FITC conjugate was purchased from Jackson Immuno Research, West
  • HIgG-DTAF conjugate 15 mg was conjugated with 2.3 mg of DTAF in the same manner as set forth in Example 3. As shown in Fig. 11 , HIgG-DTAF conjugate (0.0005 mg/ml in PBS) produced no signal to goat anti-HIgG, a positive signal to Protein A and a negative signal to Protein G.
  • EXAMPLE 15 Goat anti-RIgG (1 ml, 2.4 mg/ml) in 0.5 ml of 0.2 M sodium bicarbonate at pH 8.3 was reacted with 1 mg of CFSE in 0.1 ml of DMSO at room temperature for 3 hours. The reaction was stopped by adding 0.1 ml of 1 M NH 2 OH. The reaction mixture was stirred at room temperature for 1 hour. The resultant goat anti RIgG- CFSE conjugate was isolated using GPC. The conjugate (0.0005 mg/ml in PBS) produced no response to RlgG or HIgG.
  • Goat anti HIgG-DTAF conjugate was purchased from Pierce, Rockford, Illinois, and used in the peak tracking of HIgG. As shown in Fig. 12(a), the conjugate (0.0002 mg/ml in PBS) showed detectable positive peaks to HIgG and no peak to BSA. Increasing the concentration of the conjugate to 0.0008 mg/ml improved the peak intensity (see Fig. 12(b)) to HIgG.
  • Protein A-CFSE conjugate (0.1 ml, 0.3 mg/ml) was mixed with 0.1 ml of 2.3 mg/ml RlgG, which binds Protein A-CFSE well. The resulting mixture was allowed to stand at room temperature for 10 minutes and then was transferred to 100 ml of PBS. The resultant solution was then used in the peak tracking of goat anti- RIgG and HIgG. As can be seen in Fig. 13, no peak to goat anti-RIgG was produced. In addition, no peak to HIgG was produced, indicating that there was no free Protein A-CFSE since all the Protein A-CFSE should have bound to RlgG, which was in excess.
  • EXAMPLE 18 The experiment of Example 17 was repeated, except that Protein G-CFSE was used instead of Protein A-CFSE. As can be seen in Fig. 14, no peaks were detected. EXAMPLE 19
  • Protein G-DTAF (0.1 ml, 0.3 mg/ml) was incubated with 0.5 mg goat anti- RIgG in 0.5 ml of PBS at room temperature for 10 minutes. The incubated solution was then added to 100 ml of PBS and used to detect RlgG, HIgG, BlgG, mlgG and BSA. As can be seen in Fig. 15, no peaks were detected for RlgG, HIgG, BlgG and BSA. A peak was detected, however, for mlgG. It is believed that this peak is the result of mlgG binding to Protein G-DTAF so strongly that it can compete with RlgG in excess.
  • EXAMPLE 20 Protein G-FHSE (0.1 ml, 0.3 mg/ml) was incubated with 1 mg goat anti-RIgG in 0.5 ml of PBS at room temperature for 10 minutes. The resulting solution was added to 100 ml of PBS and used in the peak tracking of RlgG and HIgG. As can be seen in Fig. 16, a broad negative peak to RlgG was detected. No peak to HIgG was detected. EXAMPLE 21
  • a sandwich (i.e. complex) between Kappa Lock-DTAF and goat anti-RIgG was formed by combining 0.1 ml of 0.3 mg/ml Kappa Lock-DTAF with 0.5 ml of 2.3 mg/ml goat anti-RIgG and incubating for 10 minutes at room temperature.
  • the resultant sandwich was then transferred to 100 ml of PBS to be used as the working solution (0.0003 mg/ml) to detect RlgG, HIgG, mlgG and BSA.
  • the sandwich produced peaks similar to those obtained using Kappa Lock-DTAF. In fact, the peak intensity using the sandwich was somewhat worse than that obtained using Kappa Lock-DTAF.
  • EXAMPLE 23 Kappa Lock-FHSE conjugate was made by the same technique used in Example 21 , except that 4.2 mg of Kappa Lock in 0.7 ml of 0.2 M sodium bicarbonate at pH 8.3 was reacted with 2 mg of FHSE in 0.1 ml of DMSO at room temperature for 3 hours. The conjugate was then used to detect RlgG, HIgG, mlgG, BlgG, BSA, goat anti-mlgG and goat anti-RIgG. As seen in Fig. 19, Kappa Lock-FHSE did not give a good response to most IgG's, except for MlgG.

Abstract

L'invention concerne un procédé et un système (11) pour doser dans un échantillon d'effluent (15), un soluté particulier. L'échantillon d'effluent (15) est scindé en un échantillon majeur (27) et en un échantillon mineur (29), les échantillons majeur et mineur (27, 29) ayant la même composition relative. Ensuite, un agent fluorescent, caractérisé par son affinité pour le soluté dosé et présentant une intensité de la fluorescence plus importante quand il est lié au soluté dosé, est mélangé à l'échantillon mineur (29). L'intensité de la fluorescence émise de la portion éclairée de l'échantillon d'effluent mineur (29) est ensuite mesurée et enregistrée graphiquement en fonction du temps. L'information peut être utilisée pour caractériser l'échantillon majeur (27) lorsque la corrélation entre les échantillons majeur et mineur (27, 29) a été établie.
