以6-甲氧基-β-(5-乙烯基-2-奎宁环基)-4-喹啉甲醇(奎尼丁,Qd)为单体合成了一种pH敏感荧光高分子聚N-异丙基丙烯酰胺(NIP)-奎尼丁-N,N,-二甲基氨丙基甲基丙烯酰胺(DMAPM)[P(NIP—DMAPM—Qd)]。采用共聚法将布氏杆菌抗原(BrAg)与P(NIP—DMAPM—Qd)连接,制备了P(NIP—DMAPM—Qd)-BrAg连接物。加入待测布氏杆菌抗体(BrAb),免疫反应后,调节至pH7.6,使高分子相变,从而将体系中的免疫反应复合物P(NIP—DMAPM—Qd—BrAg)-BrAb和未反应连接物P(NIP—DMAPM—Qd)-BrAg与非特异性组分以及未反应的待测BrAb分离.利用蛋白A对抗体的亲和性,捕获P(NIP—DMAPM—Qd—BrAg)-BrAb,从而将其与P(NIP-DMAPM—Qd—BrAg)分开,通过测定P(NIP-DMAPM—Qd—BrAg)-BrAb的荧光来定量BrAb。该方法通过高分子相变分离和蛋白A捕获双重分离作用,基本消除了非特异性组分以及未反应的特异性免疫成分等的干扰;以高分子自身荧光为检测信号源,无须另外的标记物,大大提高了免疫分析的灵敏度和简便性。以布氏杆菌抗体(BrAb)为检测对象,测得线性范围为0-168ng/L,抗体检出限为1.2.g/L,结果令人满意。
A pH-induced phase transition fluorescent polymer was prepared by polymerization of N- isopropylacrylamide (NIP), N-(3-dimethylaminopropyl)methacrylamide (DMAPM) and 6-Methoxy-β-(5-vinyl-2- quinicldinyl)-4-quinoline methanol (quinidine, Qd). For the immobilization of Brucella melitensis antigen (BrAg), the biocomposite-polymer conjugates P(NIP-DMAPM-Qd-BrAg) were obtained by introducing acryloyl-BrAg in the polymerization reaction of the aforementioned monomers, in the immunoassay procedure, the analyte BrAb reacted with P(NIP-DMAPM-Qd-BrAg) forming P(NIP-DMAPM-Qd-BrAg)-BrAb complexes, then the pH of solution was adjusted above the pH of the polymer (pHT.4) to precipitate the immunocomplex-polymer, and the complex precipitate was separated and re-dissolved by the adjustment of pH, finally the antibodies binding to the P (NIP-DMAPM-Qd-BrAg)-BrAb were absorbed by Staphylococcal protein A (SPA) embedded in sol-gel matrixes and quantified by measuring the fluorescence of the SpA-supported body surface. The calibration graph for BrAb was linear over the range of 0 -168 ng/L with a detection limit of 1.2 ng/L. The proposed method has been successfully used for BrAb analysis of the rabbit serum samples with satisfactory results.
