Definitions
- EP-A-603658 describes a technique for determination of the glucose concentration in the aqueous humour of the eye using polarimetry. Again this technique is minimally invasive but has proven to be of limited value because of its low sensitivity.
- Lachrymal fluid is thus a good target for non-invasive glucose measurement.
- Current techniques for measuring glucose in lachrymal fluid include the use of basic colorimetric test strips which are wetted by tears, either directly or with the use of an absorbent wick, and then inspected for a colour change (described in EP-A- 236023 and US-A-5352411) .
- Japanese Patent Application No. JP-A-05093723 describes a device constructed of a ⁇ plastics material' which is fitted to the eyeball and is equipped with an electrochemical system using an enzyme based sensor for measuring analytes, such as glucose or lactate, in the lachrymal fluid.
- WO 01/13783 describes the use of an ophthalmic lens comprising a receptor moiety which can be used to determine the amount of an analyte in an ocular fluid.
- the ophthalmic lens can be a full size contact lens, a permanently implanted lens of the intraocular, intracorneal or subconjunctival type or a shunt or implant in the cul de sac of the eye.
- Ophthalmic lenses can be corrective or they may not affect visual acuity, the lenses must also be accessible to light.
- the examples indicate that the lenses are illuminated through the pupil of the eye; no indication is given as to how a signal can be obtained from ophthalmic lenses that are accessed through other routes. Permanently implanted lenses are not ideal for a sensing application as the sensor components only have a limited lifetime.
- the present invention provides a device which avoids the disadvantages of the prior art. Accordingly, in a first aspect the present invention provides a device for the detection or quantitative measurement of an analyte in lachrymal fluid, the device being locatable on the surface of the eyeball in contact with lachrymal fluid and incorporating an assay for said analyte, the readout of which assay is a detectable or measurable optical signal which can be interrogated remotely using optical means.
- the device of the present invention has the advantages of reliability and accuracy of glucose measurement, safety, convenience and ease of use. With particular relevance to the long-term care of diabetics, the device has the additional advantage that glucose measurements can be taken as often as is necessary with no adverse effects on the patient. As glucose measurements can be taken more frequently, tighter control can be maintained over the level of glucose in the blood and the risk of developing conditions related to poorly regulated blood glucose, such as retinopathy and poor circulation, will be reduced.
- the device of the present invention may be in the form of a full size contact lens.
- the device of the invention may be in the form of a full size contact lens which is optically correcting.
- the device would replace "normal" optically correcting contact lenses in, for example, diabetic patients who have a need for both regular self-administered glucose testing and for optical correction of poor eyesight.
- the device may be manufactured in the form of "disposable" contact lenses which are intended to be worn for a finite period of time, such as one day, and then disposed of.
- the reactive components of the assay can be linked to the monomers prior to polymerisation.
- these components can be added to the monomer mix and then entrapped in the structure of the ⁇ lens following polymerisation.
- it is advantageous to use high molecular weight components such as polymers to which the analyte analog component of the assay (as will be defined below) is bound in order to minimise leakage by diffusion from the lens during use.
- a further configuration is a coated lens with another outer layer of hydrogel containing the reactive components, or with the reactive components bound directly to the outside surface of the lens after manufacture.
- the device may also be constructed in the form of a fluid composition comprising a fluid matrix in which the reactive components of the assay are uniformly suspended.
- similar assay means to those employed in the contact lens device hereinbefore described can be delivered to the eye in fluid form, preferably using the familiar eye drop delivery system.
- the fluid containing the assay components will migrate in the eye, lodge behind the eyelid and equilibrate with the lachrymal fluid.
- the fluid matrix in which the reactive components are suspended may be viscous or may form a gel following migration behind the eyelid.
- This "fluid form" device is interrogated remotely using the same optical means as is used to interrogate the contact lens device.
- Fluid matrix-based devices include those based on microparticles or microcapsules, which in use become located, in whole or part, behind an eyelid of the user may be interrogated through the eyelid, for example using a fluorimeter device of the type described herein.
- Preferred binding assay configurations include a reversible competitive, reagent limited, binding assay, the reactive components of which include an analyte analog and an analyte binding agent capable of reversibly binding both the analyte of interest and the analyte analog.
- the analyte of interest and the analyte analog compete for binding to the same binding site on the analyte binding agent.
- Such competitive binding assay configurations are well known in the art of clinical diagnostics and are described, by way of example, in the Immunoassay Handbook, ed. David Wild, Macmillan Press 1994.
- Suitable binding agents for use in the assay include antibodies or fragments thereof which contain an antigen binding site (e.g.
- Protein binding agents may be modified by, for example, polyethylene glycol derivatisation to increase stability and reduce irritancy and allergenicity.
- the most preferred embodiment of the device of the invention incorporates a competitive binding assay providing an optical readout based on the technique of fluorescence energy transfer.
- the analyte analog is labelled with a first chromophore (hereinafter referred to as the donor chromophore) and the analyte binding agent is labelled with a second chromophore (hereinafter referred to as the acceptor chromophore) .
- Fluorescence energy transfer will only occur when the donor and acceptor chromophores are brought into close proximity by the binding of analyte analog to analyte binding agent.
- analyte which competes with the analyte analog for binding to the analyte binding agent, the amount of quenching is reduced (resulting in an increase in the intensity of the fluorescent signal emitted by the donor chromophore or a fall in the intensity of the signal emitted by the acceptor chromophore) as the labelled analyte analog is displaced from binding to ' the analyte binding agent.
- the intensity of the fluorescent signal emitted by the donor chromophore thus correlates with the concentration of analyte in the lachrymal fluid bathing the device.
- An additional advantageous feature of the fluorescence energy transfer assay format arises from the fact that any fluorescent signal emitted by the acceptor chromophore following excitation with a beam of incident radiation at a wavelength within the absorption spectrum of the acceptor chromophore (but not within the absorption spectrum of the donor chromophore) is unaffected by the fluorescence energy transfer process. It is therefore possible to use the intensity of the fluorescent signal emitted by the acceptor chromophore as an internal reference signal, for example in continuous calibration of the device.
- the fluorimeter separately measures the following parameters :
- Figure 3 is a schematic cross section of a human eye.
- Example 1 The procedure of Example 1 was repeated, except that the human subject had ingested 100 g of food grade glucose dissolved in distilled water 65 minutes prior to placing the lens in the eye.
- the concentration of glucose measured by the Glucotrend 2 meter in the extracting fluid from the lens was 6.7 mmol/1.
- the diodes (LED (1) and detector diodes (7) and (9)) were connected to a custom made driver/amplifier circuit as shown in Figure 2.
- the circuit comprises a sender (10), current amplifiers (11) and (12), multiplexers (13) and (14), integrators (15) and (16) and an analog divider (17).
- FRET fluorescence resonance energy transfer
- Example 6 The procedure of Example 5 was repeated using the sub eyelid device described in Example 3. A rise in the fluorescence intensity ratio from 0.85 to 0.92 was observed using the fibre optic spectrometer when the device was removed from the eye after 15 minutes in place.
- a sensor device comprising the sub-eyelid device treated with the FRET glucose sensor chemistry was inserted under the lower eyelid as described in Example 3. Immediately upon placing the sensing device in position a reading of fluorescence intensity from the device was taken using the fibre optic spectrometer. In this case the end of the fibre optic was placed against the lower eyelid and a measurement was made through the eyelid tissue with the eye partly closed. The fibre optic spectrometer was able to report a reading of the expected intensity ratio of 0.8 through the thin tissue of the eyelid, thus indicating that sensing devices can be operated in situ when placed under the eyelid.
- the FRET glucose sensor chemistry components were placed in an empty dropper bottle and then 2 drops (estimated at 100 ⁇ l each) were delivered to the eye of a human subject by pulling the lower eyelid outwards and placing the drops between the lid and the eye. After blinking several times to distribute the fluid around the eye socket excess fluid was removed using a tissue placed against the closed eye. The eye was then inspected by pulling back the lower eyelid and the faint red tint of the rhodamine dye could be observed distributed evenly over the inner surface of the eyelid and on the lower part of the outer surface of the eyeball.
