Definitions
- T e present invention relates to methods and kits for rapid in vitro detection of Helicobacter pylori infection in mammals. More particularly, the present invention relates to methods of detecting antibodies which are associated with Helicobacter pylori infection and related disease.
- Helicobacter pylori is a curved Gram-negative bacterium that is commonly present in the human stomach; once acquired, this organism persists for decades (Blaser, M.J.,
- a non-invasive test is the "Carbon-Labeled Urea Breath Test". Although this test is non-invasive it can be impractical because it utilizes urea labeled with l3 C and l4 C, and reading the test requires either a mass spectre-photometer or a gamma counter, respectively. Serological testing presents an alternative to the invasive tests and urea breath test described above. Individuals infected with H. pylori will mount a significant humoral response to H. pylori proteins (Jones. D.M., et al., J Med Micro (1986) 22:57-62).
- ELISAs for example, has been a useful measure of the success of antibacterial treatment (Kosunen, T.U., et al.. Lancet (1992) 339:893-5).
- kits for detecting Helicobacter pylori infection produced by a process of providing a Helicobacter pylori antigen, separating the antigen components, and transferring said antigen components to a solid support.
- Another embodiment of the invention is a method for detecting infection with
- the method includes, providing a solid support having Helicobacter pylori proteins bound thereto, reacting biological fluid with the solid support, examining the solid support for the presence of bound antibody and positively identifying infection when bound antibody is found at any two positions on the solid support corresponding to antigens having molecular weights of 19.5kDa, 26.5kDa. and 30kDa, or alternatively, when bound antibody is found at any position on the solid support corresponding to an antigen having a molecular weight of 35kDa, 89kDa, 1 16kDa. or 180kDa.
- a further embodiment of the invention includes a method for diagnosing disease associated with Helicobacter pylori infection; e.g., gastritis, peptic ulcers, and gastric carcinoma.
- the method includes providing a solid support having electrophoretically separated Helicobacter pylori antigen bound thereto, reacting biological fluid from the patient with the solid support, examining the solid support for the presence of bound antibody, and comparing the profile of bound antibody to consensus profiles obtained from other patients with confirmed disease conditions.
- Fig. 1 is a representative Western Blot strip containing separated H. pylori antigen components reacted with a seropositive serum. Molecular weights (in kD) of the various major reactive antigen components are marked, and the putative identification of the major antigen components is provided. Band labelled "Control" is the serum addition control band.
- Fig. 2 shows Reactivity with Clinical Samples - a Western Blot strip containing separated H. pylori antigen components reacted with four serum samples from patients which were histology, culture, and ELISA positive (Lanes 1-4) and four serum samples from patients which were histology, culture, and ELISA negative (Lanes 5-8).
- Antigen is used in its broadest sense and includes Helicobacter pylori whole cells or homogeneous, near homogeneous or heterogeneous extracts from H. pylori and which is capable of binding to specific antibody in a biological fluid.
- Antigen components contemplated by the present invention include protein, polysaccharide or lipid or any combination thereof.
- the antigen is protein, lipopolysaccharide or cell extract of H. pylori prepared by, for example, sonication, pressure disintegration, detergent extraction or fractionation.
- a “biological fluid” is any fluid derived from the body of a mammal. Biological fluids may be, for example, blood, serum, urine, mucous, gastric secretions or saliva.
- a “reporter molecule” means a molecule which, by its chemical nature, provides an analytically identifiable signal which allows the detection of antigen- bound antibody.
- Helicobacter pylori related disease means any disease caused in whole or in part by infection with H. pylori. Such disease may be, for example, gastritis, peptic ulceration, and gastric adenocarcinoma.
- an individual's "antibody profile” is the pattern created by antibodies contained in the individual's bodily fluid that are reactive with separated H. pylori antigen components.
- an individual's antibody profile may be represented, for example, by the pattern of antigen component bands which are detected in a western blot assay.
- a "consensus profile” is an artificially created antibody response profile based a compilation of the most common antibody responses within a particular H. pylori associated disease.
- Helicobacter pylori may be obtained from the American Type Culture Collection (ATCC, Rockville, Md.). The preferred embodiment contemplates the use of strain designation NCTC11916. This strain is an ulcer producing strain which contains all the proteins associated with pathogenesis and immunologically important antigen components, including CagA, vacuolating protein, and the various Urease subunits. Other strains which contain these proteins are known in the art and can be utilized as well.
- the antigen preparation was obtained as follows and as detailed in
- Example 1 Briefly, bacteria were cultured in broth base medium to a suitable density. These were harvested by centrifugation and washed several times in PBS. The pellet was weighed, gently sonicated and resuspended in PBS to a concentration of 100 mg/ml of wet weight pellet. At this point the sonicate may be stored in small aliquots at -70 degrees C for future use. Alternatively, an H. pylori antigen preparation is available commercially from Microbix Biosystems (Ontario, Canada).
- Antigen components are separated by size according to the present invention. Such size fractionation is preferentially accomplished electrophoretically but may be accomplished by other methods known to those skilled in the art; e.g., chromatography.
- H. pylori antigenic components are separated as follows, and detailed in Example 1.
- the H. pylori antigen preparation is loaded on a poly acrylam ide gel which may or may not contain individual wells. Preferably about .66-10 ug antigen preparation is loaded on the gel per centimeter of well width. More preferably about 5 ug cm well width is loaded.
- Prior to loading the antigen preparation is boiled in order to denature the antigen components, preferably for about 5 minutes.
- the poly aery lam ide gel can be any concentration determined to give adequate resolution of the desired antigen components described infra.
- the polyacrylamide gel consists of two parts; a resolving gel, preferably between 10 and 13% acrylamide and a stacking gel, preferably between 4 and 8% acrylamide. In the most preferable embodiment the polyacrylamide gel has an 11.5% resolving section and a 6% stacking section. Electrophoresis is conducted until the antigen components have separated sufficiently to discriminate between them. It is preferable to start electrophoresis with a relatively low current until the pyronin Y had migrated into the resolving gel at which point the current is increased until the Pyronin Y has migrated to between about 9 and 12 cm into the resolving gel.
- the gel is removed from the glass plates and the upper gel and the bottom portion of the resolving gel from the tracking dye downward is cut off. Separation conducted under the preferred conditions described above provides optimum separation of particularly useful antigen components as will be seen below.
- molecular weight markers can be run adjacent to the H. pylori antigen. After electrophoresis, the position of the molecular weight markers may be determined by techniques known in the art for example, coomassie blue staining the polyacrylamide gel or ponceau S stain after transfer to the solid support.
- the antigen preparation will for convenience and preference be bound to a solid support.
- Suitable solid supports include a nitrocellulose membrane, glass or a polymer.
- the most commonly used polymers for this purpose are cellulose, polyacrylamide, nylon, polystyrene, polyvinyl chloride or polypropylene, but the invention is not limited to them.
- the solid support is preferentially in the form of strips, but may also be tubes, beads, discs, or microplates, or any other surface suitable for conducting an immunoassay.
- Antigen components of H. pylori useful in this invention may be either covalently or non-covalently ("passively") bound to the solid surface.
- Suitable binding processes are well known in the art and generally consist of crosslinking, covalently binding or physically adsorbing the antigen to the solid support.
- Example 1 a piece of nitrocellulose membrane which has been presoaked in a Tris-based buffer, is layered onto a piece of wet blotting paper, and the trimmed gel is laid onto the nitrocellulose paper. Another piece of wet blotting paper is laid over the trimmed gel and this sandwich is placed into a transfer tank and transferred by applying a voltage.
- the membrane is removed from the transfer apparatus after the transfer process and placed in IX PBS until optionally slotting on of additional proteins such as anti-human IgG, anti-human IgA, or recombinantly or synthetically produced peptide Helicobacter pylori antigens.
- Such additional proteins are useful, for example, as positive or negative controls suitable for the type of biological fluid being tested.
- H. pylori peptide antigens which encompass specific eptiopes can be useful as positive controls and for confirming infection. Slotting techniques are well known to those of skill in the art.
- the membrane is removed from the slotting apparatus and blocked, preferably in PBS buffer containing about 5% non-fat dry milk at room temperature on a rocker platform.
- the nitrocellulose is rinsed in PBS-Tween buffer and the sheets are then air dried on paper towels, and left in a 37 degree C incubator overnight for drying. Sheets are cut into convenient sized strips, preferably about 3mm wide and kept in dry containers until used in an assay.
- the invention is directed to a method of diagnosing individuals with Helicobacter pylori infection wherein a solid support with separated antigen components bound thereto is used to examine an individual's biological fluid for the presence of H. /> / ⁇ ri-specific antibodies.
- Biological fluid to be tested for H. pylori-specific antibodies are contacted with the solid support described above.
- the formation of antigen/antibody complex is then detected by conventional techniques, generally by reaction with a reporter-labelled secondary antibody which is specific for the type of biological fluid tested.
- reporter molecules in this assay are either enzymes, fluorophores or radionuclide containing molecules (i.e., radioisotopes).
- an enzyme is conjugated to the secondary antibody, generally by means of glutaraldehyde or periodate.
- Commonly used enzymes include horseradish peroxidase, glucose oxidase, Beta-galactosidase and alkaline phosphatase, among others.
- the substrates to be used with the specific enzymes are generally chosen for the production, upon hydrolysis by the corresponding enzyme, of a detectable color change.
- the serum samples described above were reacted with the solid support prepared above by western blot assay. Briefly, the strips with electrophoretically separated H. pylori antigenic components bound thereto were placed into reaction trays, one strip per well. The strips were pre- wetted in wash buffer (Tris buffer containing "Tween 20TM” detergent). After 10 minutes, the buffer was aspirated, and blotting buffer, containing Tris, inactivated goat serum, and 5% non-fat dry milk, was added. Human serum samples were added to individual wells to a final dilution of 1/100 and incubated for one hour at room temperature.
- wash buffer Tris buffer containing "Tween 20TM” detergent
- Negative 4 12 4 1 1 2 0 6/110
- antigen components which typically react have approximate molecular weights of 116kDa (possibly the CagA protein), 89kDa (possibly the Vacuolating protein), 60kDa (possibly the ureB protein or the hsp60 heat shock protein), 35kDa (unknown), 30kDa (possibly the ureH protein), 26.5kDa (possibly the ureA protein), and 19.5kDa (possibly the ferritin like protein).
- Figure 1 is a Western Blot strip which shows a reactivity profile including all of the above mentioned antigen components.
- pylori infection if it is reactive with any two antigen components corresponding to molecular weights of 19.5kDa, 26.5kDa, or 30kDa, or alternatively, if it is reactive with any one antigen component corresponding to a molecular weight of 35kDa, 89kDa, 116kDa, or 180kDa.
- Sensitivity of the assay may be defined as a fraction equal to the number of positive serum samples which were actually western blot positive divided by the number of patients which were expected to be positive.
- specificity of the assay may be defined as a fraction equal to the number of serum samples which were accurately diagnosed divided by the total number of samples tested.
- specificity of the assay is 96% sensitive (49/51) and 95% specific (153/161) for Helicobacter pylori infection.
- the antigen specific criteria for a positive diagnosis may be altered; e.g., additional antigen components may be added to the assay, currently evaluated antigen components may be deleted from the assay, and different combinations may be required for a positive test result.
- the invention is directed to a method of diagnosing a Helicobacter pylori associated disease by examining that individual's biological fluids for antibodies to Helicobacter pylori antigen components and comparing the profile of antibody reactivity to a consensus profile.
- H. pylori may have different clinical outcomes ranging from gastritis to peptic ulcers and gastric cancer. It is as yet unclear why a particular individual's only clinical outcome is gastritis while another individual will develop more serious disease. Without being bound to a particular theory, these clinical outcomes may represent progressive stages of disease, certain individuals may be predisposed to peptic ulcers and gastric carcinoma, and/or environmental factors may influence disease progression. It is further possible that predisposition to a clinical outcome may be related to immunologic factors.
- results obtained with the solid phase assay, described above and shown in Figure 2 indicate that there is a heterogeneous antibody response to infection with H. pylori; i.e., different infected individuals generate antibodies to different antigen components. It has been discovered that while the infected population produces a heterogeneous antibody response, subpopulations have homogeneous antibody responses. Furthermore, these subpopulations of reactivity profiles may be linked to clinical outcome. For example, individuals who suffer from H. pylori induced gastritis are likely to show a similar antibody responses which would be different than an individual suffering from H. pylori induced gastric adenocarcinoma.
- a library of antibody response profiles is produced, according to the invention, by first diagnosing individuals for H. pylori related disease with standard methods known in the art (e.g., culture, histology, and ELISA) and subsequently obtaining antibody response profiles from them. The library of antibody response profiles is then used to determine the highest correlation between disease and antibody response, thereby forming a consensus profile for each disease.
- standard methods known in the art e.g., culture, histology, and ELISA
- Diagnosis of a test individual is then made by testing the individual's biological fluid in order to obtain an antibody response profile and then comparing the proflle to the consensus profiles for each disease. If criteria for a match is met for any one of the diseases, a positive diagnosis is made.
