Abstract
Description
本発明の第1の態様の分析方法として、分析対象物質としてポリペプチド、試料として生体試料、質量分析法としてMALDI(Matrix Assisted Laser Desorption / Ionization;マトリックス支援レーザー脱離イオン化法)を採用した際の分析方法を説明する。
湿度測定工程では、湿度を測定する。具体的には、後述する第2溶出工程および配置工程が実施される分析空間(室内)の湿度を測定する。一般的にこれらは同一空間で実施されるが、異なっている場合は、各空間の湿度を測定し、第2溶出工程開始直後から、溶出液が測定プレートに配置されるまでの時間で按分した平均湿度とすればよい。
第1結合工程では、生体試料を第1担体(本発明の「担体」の一例)に接触させる。例えば、生体試料を第1担体と混合する。これにより、第1担体にポリペプチドが結合して、第1結合体が得られる。
第1洗浄工程では、第1結合工程の後において、洗浄液を用いて第1結合体を洗浄する。
第1溶出工程では、第1洗浄工程の後において、第1結合体を第1溶出液に接触させる。これにより、第1結合体からポリペプチドが解離して、第1溶出液にポリペプチドが溶出する。
中性化工程では、第1溶出工程の後において、ポリペプチドが溶出した第1溶出液を中性化する。これにより、ポリペプチドを含有する精製溶液が得られる。
第2結合工程では、中性化工程の後において、精製溶液を第2担体に接触させる。これにより、第2担体にポリペプチドが結合して、第2結合体が得られる。
第2洗浄工程では、第2結合工程の後において、洗浄液を用いて第2結合体を洗浄する。洗浄方法は、公知の方法を採用すればよく、具体的には、第1洗浄工程で例示した洗浄方法と同様の方法を実施すればよい。
第2溶出工程では、第2洗浄工程の後において、第2結合体を第2溶出液に接触させる。これにより、第2結合体からポリペプチドが解離して、第2溶出液にポリペプチドが溶出する。
配置工程では、第2溶出工程の後において、第2溶出液を測定プレートに配置する。具体的には、ポリペプチドが溶出された第2溶出液を、MALDI装置用のMALDIプレートの各ウェルに分配する。
分析工程では、配置工程の後において、第2溶出液に含有されるポリペプチドをMALDIによって検出する。
(1)第1の態様の分析方法では、2回の免疫沈降法(アフィニティ精製)を実施しているが、例えば、1回の免疫沈降法でもよい。この場合、分析方法は、湿度測定工程と、第1結合工程(結合工程)と、第1洗浄工程(洗浄工程)と、第2溶出工程(溶出工程)と、配置工程と、検出工程とを備える。生体試料中のポリペプチドの存在量がより一層微量な場合でも、ポリペプチドを分析することができる観点から、第1の態様が好ましい。
上述した複数の例示的な実施形態は、以下の態様の具体例であることが当業者により理解される。
アミロイドβタンパク質(Aβ)の3-8残基をエピトープとする抗Aβ抗体(IgG)のクローン6E10(Covance社)を用意した。抗Aβ抗体(IgG)100μgに対して磁性ビーズ(Dynabeads M-270 Epoxy)約3.3×108個を、固定化緩衝液(1.3M硫酸アンモニウムを含有する0.1Mリン酸緩衝液;pH7.4)中で37℃、16~24時間反応させた。これにより、抗体固定化担体としての抗体ビーズを作製した。
1.第1環境下での測定
(湿度測定工程)
室内の湿度を測定したところ、58.0%であった。なお、温度は、23.1℃であった。
分析対象物質をAβ関連ペプチドとし、ヒト血漿を用意した。ヒト血漿250μLを、安定同位体標識されたAβ1-38(SIL-Aβ1-38)11pMを含む中性緩衝液(0.2%(w/v)DDM、0.2%(w/v)NTM、800mM GlcNAc、100mM Tris-HCl、300mM NaCl;pH7.4)250μLと混合し、氷上で5~60分静置させた。そのヒト血漿を抗体ビーズと混合し、4℃で1時間振盪させた。なお、SIL-Aβ1-38は、マススペクトルのシグナル強度を標準化するための内部標準とした。その後、抗体ビーズを、洗浄緩衝液(0.1%(w/v)DDM、0.1%(w/v)NTM、50mM Tris-HCl、150mM NaCl;pH7.4)100μLで1回洗浄し、50mM酢酸アンモニウム緩衝液50μLで1回洗浄した。その後、抗体ビーズを、第1溶出液(0.1%(w/v)DDMを含む50mMグリシン緩衝液;pH2.8)に接触させて、Aβ関連ペプチドを第1溶出液に溶出させた。
Aβ関連ペプチドを含有する第1溶出液を、中性緩衝液(0.2%(w/v)DDM、800mM GlcNAc、300mM Tris-HCl、300mM NaCl;pH7.4)と混合させて、精製溶液を得た。
精製溶液を抗体ビーズと混合し、4℃で1時間振盪させた。その後、抗体ビーズを、洗浄緩衝液(0.1%(w/v)DDM、50mM Tris-HCl、150mM NaCl;pH7.4)50μLで2回洗浄し、50mM酢酸アンモニウム緩衝液50μLで1回洗浄し、水30μLで1回洗浄した。その後、抗体ビーズを、8μLの第2溶出液(5mM HClと0.1mMメチオニンを含む70%(v/v)アセトニトリル水溶液;pH2.3)に接触させて、Aβ関連ペプチドを第2溶出液に溶出させた。
質量分析装置として、MALDI-TOF MS装置(島津製作所製、AXIMA Performance)を用いた。Linear TOF用のマトリックスとしてα-シアノ-4-ヒドロキシ桂皮酸(CHCA)を用い、マトリックス添加剤としてメチレンジホスホン酸(MDPNA)を用い、溶媒としてアセトニトリルを用いて、0.5mg/mL CHCA/0.2%(w/v)MDPNAマトリックス溶液を調製した。MALDIプレート(μFocus MALDI plate 900μm(Hudson Surface Technology,Inc.,Fort Lee,NJ))の4wellに、マトリックス溶液を0.5μLずつ滴下し、乾固させた。これらの4wellに、Aβ関連ペプチドを含有する第2溶出液を滴下して、配置させた。なお、第2溶出工程開始後から配置工程完了までの所要時間は、5分15秒であった。
MALDI-TOF MSを作動させて、Aβ関連ペプチドを検出した。設定条件として、マススペクトルデータはAXIMA Performance(Shimadzu/KRATOS,Manchester,UK)を用いて、ポジティブイオンモードのLinear TOFで取得した。1wellに対して400スポット、16000ショットずつ積算した。Linear TOFのm/z値はピークのアベレージマスで表示した。m/z値は外部標準としてhuman angiotensin IIおよびhuman ACTH fragment 18-39、bovine insulin oxidized beta-chain、bovine insulinを用いてキャリブレーションした。
(湿度測定工程)
日時を変更して、室内の湿度を測定したところ、21.2%であった。なお、温度は、21.2℃であった。
第2溶出液の使用量を9μLに変更した以外は、第1環境と同様に実施した。
図1に、第1環境(湿度58.0%)におけるマススペクトルを示す。図2に、第2環境(湿度21.2%)におけるマススペクトルを示す。図1および図2において、縦軸はシグナル強度、横軸は質量電荷比(m/z)である。表1に、分析対象物質となるAβ関連ペプチドのアミノ酸配列を示す。図1および図2から、高湿度条件および低湿度条件のいずれの環境でもAβ関連ペプチドが溶出していることが高感度で確認できた。また、所望サンプル数(Well 1~4)のマススペクトルが得られており、高精度の検出が可能であることが確認できた。
第2環境において、第2溶出液の使用量を第1環境と同様の8μLのままにした以外は、同様に実施した。そうすると、MALDIプレートに第2溶出液が3wellにしか配置されず、所望サンプル数の分析ができなかった。
