Definitions
- the present invention relates to a diagnostic agent for Chlamydia infection. More specifically, the present invention relates to a diagnostic agent that is effective for the selective diagnosis of patients infected with Chla mydia trachomatis or Chlamydia pneumoniae.
- Chlamydia infects humans and causes various diseases. Chlamydia is a wounded intracellular parasitic bacterium that has a unique ⁇ ring with morphological changes. When it is outside the host cell, it is resistant to the outside world and is infectious but has no metabolic activity.It has a form of elementary body (EB) with a diameter of 30 O nm and enters the host cell. It is non-infectious but metabolically active, with a morphological change to a fragile reticulate body (RB) with a diameter of about 450-: L50O nm. RB repeats two-way growth in host cells and assembles into cells to form inclusion bodies. Then, the RB changes its form from RB to EB via an intermediate form (intermediate form), and when the host cell is broken down, EB is released to the outside world.
- EB elementary body
- RB fragile reticulate body
- C. trachomatis is known as a pathogen that causes granulomatous conjunctivitis (trachoma), sexually transmitted diseases (STDs), and infertility.
- STDs cause urethritis, Sugao-maruitis, and prostatitis in men, but only in women It has been reported that childhood appendicitis (tubulitis), bone, and peritonitis may develop, causing infertility.
- tubulitis tubulitis
- peritonitis may develop, causing infertility.
- vertical transmission to newborns via the birth canal during delivery may cause the newborns to develop conjunctivitis or pneumonia.
- trachoma The incidence of trachoma is more common in developing countries, and according to a WHO study in 1981, 500 million people in developing countries suffer from trachoma per year, of which 10 million are due to this. I'm blind.
- STDs caused by trachomatis are common in developed countries.For example, in the United States, 400,000 women a year are at risk of infertility due to peritonitis due to C. trachomatis infection and the risk of infertility. C. trachomatis has been called as one of the STDs to prevent its infection from a public health standpoint.
- trachoma was widespread for some time after World War II as an infectious disease of C. trach omatis, but recently STD has been added as in the United States, and early detection of infection has become an important issue. ing.
- C. pneumoniae has recently been identified as a species of chlamydia22, and subsequent studies have shown that antibody prevalence is high (several tens of percent) even in healthy people, indicating that it is a common infectious microorganism in humans. found.
- the pathogenicity of acute respiratory harbor infections has been reported, and it is reported that more than 10% of pneumonia cases are pathogenic microorganisms. Under such circumstances, as in C. trachomatis, an early diagnosis method for infection is required.
- an antigen assay for detecting Chlamydia cells or their constituents using a specimen (scratch specimen) or urine collected from the affected area by abrasion, and a serum sample using Chlamydia antibodies There is an antibody measurement method to detect.
- Antigen testing methods include the isolation culture method, fluorescent antibody method, enzyme antibody method, DNA Diagnostic methods have been developed.
- the scraped sample is inoculated into He229 or McCoy cells, cultured, fixed and stained, and the presence or absence of Chlamydia inclusions is determined under a microscope. This is the most reliable diagnostic method,
- a sample is reacted with an anti-chlamydia antibody labeled with an enzyme (/ 3-D-galactosidase or peroxidase), and 4 MU G (4-methylujn belliferyl- ⁇ -D-galactopyranoside) is labeled with the labeled enzyme. Or ⁇ ⁇ (3, 3 ', 5, o-tetramethylbenzidine).

- the Chlamydia infection diagnosis method other than the isolation culture method and the DNA diagnosis method in the antigen test method uses a Chlamydia specific antibody or antigen and binds it to the Chlamydia specific antigen or antibody in the sample, respectively. It is a fundamental principle. However, any of the conventionally used antigens or antibodies have cross-reactivity between species due to insufficient species specificity. In particular, when diagnosing C. trachomatis infection, false positives are likely to occur because pneumoniae is universally transmitted to humans. Problem. Therefore, the development of a new diagnostic drug that solves this cross-reactivity has been required.
