The method of core mycobacterial infections
Technical field
The present invention relates to medical sciences, in particular to are based on Flow cytometry tuberculosis Specific T cell immunity
The method that phenotype is used for diagnosis of tuberculosis mycobacterial infections.
Background technique
Tuberculosis is one kind and machine caused by mycobacterium tuberculosis (mycobacterium tuberculosis, MTB)
Closely related chronic infectious disease is immunized in body cell, seriously threatens human health.In recent years, continuous with MTB persister
Increase and send out and BCG vaccine prevention declines, tuberculosis is in rebound significantly trend in the whole world, and popularity is increasingly serious.In
State is severely afflicated area lungy, and Tuberculosis number accounts for the 11.36% of the whole world, occupies the whole world second.After MTB infects human body,
According to the Immunity of individual, three kinds of final results can occur: the first final result is that individual immunity power is vigorous, directly by infection
MTB is killed;Second is that immunity of organisms is not enough to kill whole MTB, but can inhibit a large amount of proliferation of MTB, is made up to flat
Weighing apparatus state, so as to cause latent tuberculosis infects;The third, which is that the immunity of body is too low, causes MTB to be largely proliferated, and initiation is faced
Bed disease.It is estimated that having nearly 1/3 population infection tubercle bacillus in the world, wherein only 5%~10% or so people can send out
Disease, remaining 90%~95% crowd are in latent infection.However, can lead to LTBI transformation in body's immunity disorder
For active tuberculosis.Therefore, efficiently timely tuberculosis early diagnosis is tuberculosis normalization to tubercular especially LTBI patient
The starting point for the treatment of.
Laboratory diagnostic technique lungy is always the bottleneck of tuberculosis prevention and control.Existing diagnostic means include that aetology is examined
It is disconnected as MTB is separately cultured, the methods of smear for microscopic examination and Molecular Detection diagnosis.But the above method has respective limitation, as MTB is separated
Time-consuming (generally requiring 6~8 weeks) for culture, and sensitivity is not high, and there are bio-safety risks, only opens in tuberculosis fixed hospital
Exhibition.Smear for microscopic examination susceptibility is low (only 20%~30% positive rate), and cannot distinguish between mycobacterium tuberculosis and non-tuberculosis point
Branch bacillus, often delay treatment.Molecular diagnosis is complicated for operation, and the biological characteristics of tubercle bacillus, the sensitivity of this method and
Specificity is not able to satisfy clinical demand.The above method requires to obtain sample such as phlegm, hydrothorax, ascites, brain from infection site
Spinal fluid etc., but it is negative for sputum smear negative or etiological examination, and clinical strong suspicion tuberculosis;Disease can not especially be obtained
Stove sample such as bone tuberculosis, intestinal tuberculosis etc. is badly in need of a kind of new laboratory inspection method to diagnosis lungy and exclusion diagnosis, is exempted from
Epidemiology diagnosis is come into being.In recent years, scientist has found that Mycobacterium tuberculosis has and BCG vaccine by comparing genomics
No gene region with other mycobacteriums, and it is located at two albumen Early insulin secretion antigens -6 (ESAT-6) and the training in this region
Supporting base filtration albumen -10 (CFP-10) has stronger Th epitope.Herein on basis, in conjunction with T cell immunoassay technology
Progress establishes a kind of novel tuberculosis Specific T cell immunity external detection method --- based on elispot assay
Tuberculosis infection T lymphocyte spot test (T-SPOT.TB) and T lymphocyte γ-IFN body based on Enzyme-linked Immunosorbent Assay technology
Outer release test (IGRA).
The principle of T-SPOT.TB and IGRA is almost the same, is body to the cell immune response occurred after MTB infection.
It is former using the tuberculosis antigen ESAT-6 and CFP-10 of specificity as stimulation, it is stimulated by the antigen presenting cell in whole blood special
Property Th cell generate IFN-γ, in the lymphocyte quantity (T- of 37 DEG C of generation IFN-γ of detection after in vitro culture 16-24 hour
SPOT.TB IFN-γ content (IGRA.TB)) or in culture solution judges in whole blood with the presence or absence of tuberculosis specific T-cells and its work
Power.Due to, as stimulation original, not influenced by BCG vaccine and non-tuberculous mycobacteria, to tuberculosis sense using the peculiar antigen of tulase
The detection sensitivity and specificity of dye are higher.
The two methods of value of T-SPOT.TB and IGRA in diagnosis and treatment tuberculosis is without significant difference, but in technological layer, T-
SPOT.TB and IGRA.TB suffers from common defect: being 1. the not CD4 using total lymphocyte as research object+T lymph it is thin
Born of the same parents, and CD4+T lymphocyte is that the principal immune of the anti-MTB of the mankind adjusts cell, the specificity of testing result and sensitivity meeting
It is affected.2. being the variation of T-SPOT.TB detection intracellular cytokine, IGRA.TB testing inspection is to discharge into the cell
Cell factor out, detection process is more complex, and influence factor is more.3. be for T-SPOT.TB, in detection process to point
From PBMC count requirement it is accurate, otherwise influence result accuracy;When as a result judging, with the naked eye there is subjectivity, otherwise needs to use
Instrument readings, and have overlapping phenomenon when blurring;And for IGRA.TB test, though not having to accurate counting PBMC number, use
The IFN-γ of ELISA detection culture upper liquid, detection is both needed to do standard curve every time, is not suitable for single specimen examination, and calculate
It is more complex.
