所称的“检测结果”可以是任何合适的定性或定量结果,例如目测结果、仪器检测结果等。在一些不需要精确定量的应用场景下,可以通过目测基底表面上的信号,例如荧光信号的分布、强度等来判断待测核苷酸的非特异性吸附情况。在一些需要精确定量的应用场景下,可以借助仪器/信号检测装置检测基底表面上的信号来判断待测核苷酸的非特异性吸附情况,例如仪器可以是带有成像系统的光学检测装置等,包括光源、物镜以及相机,相应的,所称的“检测结果”包括获得图像。
所称的“亮点”,指图像上的光点/光斑,一个光点/光斑占有至少一个像素点。所称“像素点”同“像素”。利用光学检测系统对带有荧光标记的核酸进行检测时,所称的“亮点检测”对应于对该核酸或者碱基或碱基簇的光学信号的检测。
在本发明的一个实施例中,检测核苷酸非特异性吸附的方法,包括:S100:使待测核苷酸与第一模板链反应,该第一模板链与第一芯片上的探针连接,该第一芯片包括基底表面以及一端固定在该基底表面的探针,第一模板链带有第一标记,待测核苷酸能够与第一模板链的相应碱基配对,从而使探针的另一端延伸一个碱基,待测核苷酸带有第二标记,第一标记能够产生第一信号,第二标记能够产生第二信号;S200:检测第一芯片上的信号,获得第一检测结果;S300:使待测核苷酸与第二模 板链反应,该第二模板链与第二芯片上的探针连接,该第二芯片包括基底表面以及一端固定在该基底表面的探针,第二模板链带有第一标记,待测核苷酸与第二模板链的相应碱基不能配对,无法使探针的另一端延伸一个碱基;S400:检测第二芯片上的信号,获得第二检测结果;S500:基于第一检测结果和第二检测结果,检测待测核苷酸的特异性和/或非特异性吸附。
利用该方法,能够定性或定量检测基底表面和/或基底表面上的探针/模板链对核苷酸的非特异吸附情况和/或特异性吸附情况;通过检测系统检测基底表面的信号,能够定性或定量区分特异性和非特异性吸附,获得非特异性或特异性吸附的定量、分布情况等信息,能够用于核苷类似物结构设计及制备、芯片生产以及所有涉及芯片检测核酸过程的方法或应用中,例如用于空载芯片(不带探针)或者捕获芯片(带探针)性能的评价、芯片生产的质控,用于芯片捕获核酸的效果的预测、分析比较等。
上述方法中,第一信号和第二信号是检测上可区分的信号,即能够检测到第一信号和第二信号是两个不同的信号,例如不同颜色的荧光信号等。
S100和S300的进行无顺序要求,可先后进行,也可同时进行。类似地,S200和S400也是如此。在一些实施例中,S100和S300为平行试验,同时进行。
在一平行试验示例中,S100和S300中的第一芯片和第二芯片的基底的材质、表面特性如亲疏水、表面大小等是基本相同或一致的。在一个例子中,第一芯片和第二芯片的基底表面是经过相同表面处理的、相同材料性能的基底。在另一个例子中,第一芯片和第二芯片的基底表面是经过相同表面处理的同一基底的不同表面区域。例如,S100和S300中的第一芯片和第二芯片的基底表面在各方面如表面大小、探针种类和核苷酸序列、探针固定密度、探针分布、待测核苷酸的量、反应条件等基本一致。所称的“基本一致”、“基本相同”同“一致”或“相同”,指不同批次制备、处理和/或平行试验产生的差异在允许的偏差范围内。
第一模板链与第二模板链的差别在于,待测核苷酸能够与第一模板链的相应碱基配对,而与第二模板链的相应碱基不能配对,如图1所示。图1示出了本发明实施方式中一个示例性的待测核苷酸与模板链上相应碱基的配对/不配对关系,在该示例中,待测核苷酸C与第一模板链上的相应碱基G配对,而与第二模板链上的相应碱基A、C、T或U不配对,因此,使待测核苷酸C与第一模板链反应,能够使探针的远离基底表面的一端延伸一个碱基C形成CG配对关系;使待测核苷酸C与第二模板链反应,无法使探针的远离基底表面的一端延伸一个碱基。在待测核苷酸是其 它核苷酸的情况下,原理类似。所称的“配对”指碱基的互补结合,如A和T配对、C和G配对等,属于特异性结合。
对探针在基底表面上的分布或排布方式不作限制,在本发明实施例中,第一芯片和第二芯片上的探针随机分布和/或规则分布(例如呈阵列分布)在基底表面上。在平行实验中,探针在不同的芯片表面上或者在同一芯片的不同表面区域的分布状态相同。
第一标记和第二标记可以为不同的荧光染料。在本发明的实施例中,检测第一芯片上的信号,获得第一检测结果包括:通过成像系统对第一芯片表面进行拍照,获得第一图像;以及检测第一图像,以获得第一检测结果。检测第二芯片上的信号,获得第二检测结果包括:通过成像系统对第二芯片表面进行拍照,获得第二图像;以及检测第二图像,以获得第二检测结果。成像系统可以是带有成像系统的光学检测装置等,包括光源、物镜以及相机。
在本发明的实施例中,检测第一图像,以获得第一检测结果进一步包括:检测第一图像,以确定第一芯片表面上同时存在第一信号和第二信号的位置的数量Na1以及只存在第二信号的位置的数量Na3。检测第二图像,以获得第二检测结果进一步包括:检测第二图像,以确定第二芯片表面上同时存在第一信号和第二信号的位置的数量Nb1以及只存在第二信号的位置的数量Nb3。
进一步,进行以下(a),(b)和(c)中的至少之一,来实现基于第一检测结果和第二检测结果,检测待测核苷酸的特异性和/或非特异性吸附:(a)利用公式(Nb1+Nb3)/(Na1+Na3)确定待测核苷酸非特异性吸附在所述基底表面和第一模板链的比例;(b)利用公式Nb1/(Na1+Na3)确定待测核苷酸非特异性吸附在第一模板链或者第二模板链的比例;(c)利用公式(Na1+Na3-Nb1-Nb3)/(Na1+Na3)确定待测核苷酸与第一模板链的有效正配比例,即核苷酸特异性结合到第一模板链的比例。
以下结合附图说明示例图像的检测方法。本发明实施例中,图像包含多个像素点。以下示例描述中,以第一图像的检测为例进行描述,应当理解以下图像检测方法同样也适用于第二图像的处理,并且在同一核苷酸特异性/非特异性吸附的检测示例的平行试验中,如同一核苷酸特异性/非特异性吸附的检测方案的试验组和对照组的图像,均可采用相同的处理方式,以获得可信的、可对比的检测结果。
如图2所示,在本发明的一个的实施例中,图像检测方法,包括:可选的图像预处理步骤S11,图像预处理步骤S11包括预处理第一图像以获得预处理后的第一图像;亮点检测步骤S12,亮点检测步骤S12包括步骤:S21,分析第一图像以计算亮点判定阈 值,S22,分析第一图像以获取候选亮点,S23,根据亮点判定阈值判断候选亮点是否为亮点。
上述图像检测方法,通过图像预处理步骤对第一图像进行处理,可减少亮点检测步骤的计算量,同时,通过亮点判断阈值判断候选亮点是否为亮点,可提高判断图像亮点的准确性。需要说明的是,图像预处理步骤S11是为了获得更好的检测效果所采用的步骤,在其它实施方式中,可以直接对图像进行亮点检测步骤。
具体地,在一个例子中,输入的待检测的第一图像可为512*512或2048*2048的16位tiff格式的图像,tiff格式的图像可为灰度图像。如此,可简化图像检测方法的处理过程。
在某些实施方式中,图像预处理步骤S11包括:对第一图像进行减背景处理,以获得预处理的第一图像。如此,能够进一步减少第一图像的噪声,使图像检测方法的准确性更高。
在某些实施方式中,图像预处理步骤S11包括:对进行减背景处理后的第一图像进行简化处理,以获得预处理的第一图像。如此,可减少后续图像检测方法的计算量。
在某些实施方式中,图像预处理步骤S11包括:对第一图像进行滤波处理,以获得预处理后的第一图像。如此,对第一图像进行滤波可在尽量保留图像细节特征的条件下获取预处理的第一图像,进而可提高图像检测方法的准确性。
在某些实施方式中,图像预处理步骤S11包括:对第一图像进行减背景处理后再进行滤波处理,以获得预处理后的第一图像。如此,对第一图像进行减背景后再进行滤波,能够进一步减少第一图像的噪声,使图像检测方法的准确性更高。
在某些实施方式中,图像预处理步骤S11包括:对进行减背景处理后再进行滤波处理后的第一图像进行简化处理,以获得预处理的第一图像。如此,可减少后续图像检测方法的计算量。
在某些实施方式中,图像预处理步骤S11包括:对第一图像进行简化处理以获得预处理的第一图像。如此,可减少后续图像检测方法的计算量。
在某些实施方式中,请参图3,根据亮点判定阈值判断候选亮点是否为亮点的步骤,包括:步骤S31,在预处理后的第一图像中查找大于(p*p-1)连通的像素点并将查找到的像素点作为候选亮点的中心,p*p与亮点是一一对应的,p*p中的每个值对应一个像素点,p为自然数且为大于1的奇数;步骤S32,判断候选亮点的中心是否满足条件:I max*A BI*ceof guass>T,其中,I max为p*p窗口的中心最强强度,A BI为p*p窗口中预处 理后的第一图像中为设定值所占的比率,ceof guass为p*p窗口的像素和二维高斯分布的相关系数,T为亮点判定阈值。若满足上述条件,S33,判断候选亮点的中心对应的亮点为待处理图像所包含的亮点;若不满足上述条件,S34,弃去候选亮点的中心对应的亮点。如此,实现了亮点的检测。
具体地,I max可理解为候选亮点的中心最强强度。在一个例子中,p=3,查找大于8连通的像素点。将查找到的像素点作为候选亮点的像素点。I max为3*3窗口的中心最强强度,A BI为3*3窗口中预处理后的第一图像中为设定值所占的比率,ceof guass为3*3窗口的像素和二维高斯分布的相关系数。
预处理后的第一图像为简化处理后的图像,例如预处理后的第一图像可为二值化图像,也就是说,二值化图像中的设定值可为像素点满足设定条件时所对应的值。在另一个例子中,二值化图像可包含表征像素点不同属性的0和1二个数值,设定值为1,A BI为p*p窗口中二值化图像中为1所占的比率。
在本发明的另一个实施例中,对于拍照得的图像的检测,图像均包含多个像素点,以第一图像为例,检测第一图像包括:利用k*k矩阵对第一图像进行亮点检测,包括判定该矩阵的中心像素值不小于该矩阵非中心任一像素值的矩阵对应一个亮点,k为大于1的奇数,k*k矩阵包含k*k个像素点。该方法基于标记所产生的信号的亮度/强度与背景亮度/强度的差异,能够简单快速的检测图像,检测到以及获得信号的信息。
在某些实施例中,所述矩阵中心的像素值大于第一预设值,所述矩阵非中心任一像素值大于第二像素值。
第一预设值和第二预设值可以根据经验或者一定量的正常图像的正常亮点的像素/强度数据来设定,所称的“正常图像”、“正常亮点”可以是肉眼看起来正常,如图像看起来清晰、背景较干净,亮点大小及强度较均匀等。在一个实施例中,第一预设值和第二预设值与该图像的平均像素值相关。例如,设定第一预设值为该图像的平均像素值的1.4倍,第二预设值为该图像的平均像素值的1.1倍,能够排除干扰、获得较佳的亮点检测结果。
具体地,在一个示例中,第一图像是彩色图像,彩色图像的一个像素点具有三个像素值,可以将该彩色图像转化为灰度图像,再进行图像检测,以降低图像检测过程的计算量和复杂度。可选择但不限于利用浮点算法、整数方法、移位方法或平均值法等将非灰度图像转换成灰度图像。当然,也可以直接检测彩色图像,上述涉及的像素值的大小 比较可看成是三维值或者具有三个元素的数组的大小比较,可根据经验及需要自定义多个多维值的相对大小,例如当三维值a中的任两维数值比三维值b的对应维度的数值大,可认为三维值a大于三维值b。
在另一个示例中,第一图像是灰度图像,灰度图像的像素值为一维数值,灰度图像的像素值同灰度值。
在一个例子中,如图4所示,在一基底表面上,该基底表面也称为芯片表面,为经过表面修饰后带有环氧基团的表面:加入探针(DNA捕获链,Capture DNA),探针为经过氨基化修饰的探针、末端带有氨基基团,探针通过-NH 3与芯片表面的环氧基团反应,固定在基底表面,然后使用钝化液钝化芯片,以封闭未反应的环氧基团。再加入杂交模板链,该模板链为末端带有Cy3荧光染料标记并与探针碱基互补配对的特定序列的DNA链。
杂交完成后,加入与杂交模板链的第一个待测碱基互补配对且带有ATTO-647N荧光染料标记的待测核苷酸,然后通过荧光显微镜例如全内反射荧光显微镜(TIRF)对表面进行拍照,可得到带有信号点/斑的图像。比较可能的结果,(1)如果同一个位置观察到两种荧光信号,倾向说明该位置的核苷酸与模板链发生正配反应或者少量的链上吸附,数量为Na1;(2)如果只观察到绿色荧光信号,倾向说明该位置为模板链的非特异性吸附,数量为Na2;(3)如果只观察到红色荧光信号,倾向说明该位置为核苷酸的非特异性吸附或者模板链的Cy3荧光染料发生猝灭但是反应正常,数量为Na3。
如图5所示,在一基底表面上,该基底表面也称为芯片表面,为经过表面修饰后带有环氧基团的表面:利用相同的反应体系及时间,将同一种、同样浓度的探针,通过-NH 3与芯片表面的环氧基团反应,将探针通过化学键连接到芯片表面,然后使用钝化液钝化芯片,以封闭未反应的环氧基团。再加入杂交模板链,该模板链为末端带有Cy3荧光染料标记且杂交部分与探针序列互补配对,但第一个待测碱基与将要加入的待测核苷酸不配对的DNA链。
杂交完成后,加入与待测核苷酸(其与图4的示例中的待测核苷酸相同),带有ATTO-647N荧光染料标记,然后通过全内反射荧光显微镜(TIRF)对表面进行成像拍照,可得到带有荧光信号点/斑的图像。比较可能的结果,(1)如果同一个位置观察到两种荧光信号,倾向说明该位置的核苷酸与模板链发生非特异性吸附,数量为Nb1;(2)如果只观察到绿色荧光信号,倾向说明该位置为模板链的非特异性吸 附,数量为Nb2;(3)如果只观察到红色荧光信号,倾向说明该位置为核苷酸的表面非特异性吸附,数量为Nb3。
基于上述信息,可进一步量化区分特异性吸附和非特异性吸附,评估芯片表面和/或探针对待测核苷酸的非特异性吸附等,例如利用公式(Nb1+Nb3)/(Na1+Na3)确定待测核苷酸非特异性吸附在基底表面和核酸链的比例;利用公式Nb1/(Na1+Na3)确定待测核苷酸非特异性吸附在核酸链的比例;利用公式(Na1+Na3-Nb1-Nb3)/(Na1+Na3)确定待测核苷酸与模板链的有效正配比例。

S1000和S3000的进行无顺序要求,可先后进行,也可同时进行。同样的,S2000和S4000的进行也无顺序限制。在一些实施例中,S1000和S3000是平行试验,为同时进行。
在一平行试验示例中,S1000和S3000中的第三芯片和第四芯片的基底的材质、表面特性如亲疏水、表面大小等是基本相同或一致的。在一个例子中,第三芯片和第四芯片的基底表面是经过相同表面处理的、相同材料性能的基底。在另一个例子中,第三芯片和第四芯片的基底表面是经过相同表面处理的同一基底的不同表面区域。例如,S1000和S3000中的第三芯片和第四芯片的基底表面除了是否固定探针以外,其它方面如表面 大小、待测核苷酸的量、反应条件等基本一致。所称的“基本一致”、“基本相同”同“一致”或“相同”,指不同批次制备、处理和/或平行试验产生的差异在允许的偏差范围内。

杂交完成后,加入与待测核苷酸(其与图4的示例中的待测核苷酸相同),带有ATTO-647N荧光染料标记,然后通过全内反射荧光显微镜(TIRF)对表面进行成像拍照,可得到带有荧光信号点/斑的图像。(1)如果同一个位置观察到两种荧光信号,则说明该位置的核苷酸与模板链发生非特异性吸附,数量为Nf1;(2)如果只观察到绿色荧光信号,则说明该位置为模板链的非特异性吸附,数量为Nf2;(3)如果只观察到红色荧光信号,则说明该位置为核苷酸的表面非特异性吸附,数量为Nf3。
如图6所示,在一基底表面上,该基底表面也称为芯片表面,为经过表面修饰后带有环氧基团的表面,与上述基底表面相同,加入不包含探针的固定液,反应体系及反应时间与上述图5示例相同,然后使用钝化液钝化芯片。再加入杂交模板链,该模板链为末端带有Cy3荧光染料标记的特定序列的DNA链。
待反应完成后,加入带有ATTO-647N荧光染料标记的待测核苷酸,然后通过荧光显微镜包括全内反射荧光显微镜(TIRF)对表面进行成像拍照,可得到带有荧光信号的图像。(1)如果同一个位置观察到两种荧光信号,则说明该位置同时存在模板链和核苷酸的非特异性吸附,数量为Ng1;(2)如果只观察到绿色荧光信号,则说明该位置为模板链的非特异性吸附,数量为Ng2;(3)如果只观察到红色荧光信号,则说明该位置为核苷酸的非特异性吸附,数量为Ng3。
基于上述信息,可进行量化区分特异性吸附和非特异性吸附,评估芯片表面和/或探针对待测核苷酸的特异性吸附和非特异性吸附等,例如利用公式(Nf1+Nf3)/(Ne1+Ne3)确定待测核苷酸非特异性吸附在基底表面和核酸链的比例;利用公式Nf1/(Ne1+Ne3)确定待测核苷酸非特异性吸附在核酸链的比例;利用公式(Ne1+Ne3-Nf1-Nf3)/(Ne1+Ne3)确定待测核苷酸与模板链的有效正配比例;利用公式(Ng1+Ng3-Nf1-Nf3)/(Ng1+Ng3)确定基底表面经过固定探针后对待测核苷酸非特异性吸附变化比例。
