Abstract
Description
本願発明は、ヒト体液中のβ-グルカンに結合する抗β-グルカン抗体を高感度に測定する方法と、この測定を簡便に行うことのできる抗β-グルカン抗体測定キットに関するものである。 The present invention relates to a method for highly sensitively measuring an anti-β-glucan antibody that binds to β-glucan in human body fluid, and an anti-β-glucan antibody measurement kit that can easily perform this measurement.
β-グルカン（β-glucan：以下、「BG」と記載することがある）は、接合菌を除く真菌において、基本的にアルカリ、水に不溶な強固な細胞壁骨格を形成する腫瘍構成多糖成分として共通に存在している。さらに真菌のみならず海藻、細菌、高等植物等など自然界に広く分布している。また、一般細菌の細胞壁には含まれず、真菌感染症患者血中に遊離されてくることから真菌感染症全般のスクリーニングのパラメーターとして臨床検査に用いられている（非特許文献１、２）。
β-glucan (hereinafter sometimes referred to as “BG”) is a tumor-constituting polysaccharide component that forms a strong cell wall skeleton that is essentially insoluble in alkali and water in fungi other than zygotes. It exists in common. In addition to fungi, it is widely distributed in nature, including seaweeds, bacteria, and higher plants. Moreover, since it is not contained in the cell wall of general bacteria and is released into the blood of fungal infection patients, it is used in clinical tests as a screening parameter for all fungal infections (
β-グルカンは補体系活性化、ロイコトリエンやTNF-αなどの炎症性メディエーター産生などの生物活性を有することがこれまで多くの研究者によって明らかにされており、β-グルカンが生体に何かしらの影響を与えている可能性が示唆されている。また、腫瘍活性、アジュバンド活性、CD8+T細胞誘導活性、NOやINF-γなどのサイトカイン産生などの免疫薬理活性を示すことも報告されている（非特許文献３、４）。またβ-グルカンは分子量、分岐、高次構造などにおいて多様性を示し、生物活性もそれらの物性に依存していることから、活性の強弱も一様ではない。 Many researchers have shown that β-glucan has biological activities such as activation of the complement system and production of inflammatory mediators such as leukotriene and TNF-α, and β-glucan has some effect on the living body. The possibility of giving is suggested. It has also been reported to exhibit immunopharmacological activities such as tumor activity, adjuvant activity, CD8 + T cell induction activity, and production of cytokines such as NO and INF-γ (Non-patent Documents 3 and 4). In addition, β-glucan exhibits diversity in molecular weight, branching, higher order structure, etc., and biological activity depends on their physical properties, so the intensity of activity is not uniform.
β-グルカンは癌や感染症治療に重要な生物学的応答調整剤（Biological Response Modifer）として用いられている。例えば、Lentinus edodes由来Lentinan（Berk）やSchizophyllum commune由来sonifilan（SPG）は癌治療薬として用いられている。また様々なキノコや酵母が食品や健康食品として流通している。 β-glucan is used as an important biological response modifier for the treatment of cancer and infectious diseases. For example, Lentinan edodes-derived Lentinan (Berk) and Schizophyllum commune-derived sonifilan (SPG) are used as cancer therapeutics. Various mushrooms and yeasts are distributed as foods and health foods.
β-グルカンの生物活性発現に関与すると思われる宿主の認識機構もこれまで多くの研究者によって検討されてきおり、β-グルカン特異的受容体（Dectin-1、CR3、lactosylceramide等）が同定され、これらの受容体が食作用（phagocytosis）や他の生物活性に関与することが報告されている（非特許文献５−７）。 Many researchers have also studied the host recognition mechanism that seems to be involved in the expression of β-glucan biological activity, and β-glucan-specific receptors (Dectin-1, CR3, lactosylceramide, etc.) have been identified, It has been reported that these receptors are involved in phagocytosis and other biological activities (Non-Patent Documents 5-7).
一方、抗体は獲得免疫における認識生体分子であり、食作用を促進することによって、抗原提示や副刺激分子（co-stimulatory molecule）の発現を上昇させる。また、Fc受容体の架橋、サイトカイン産生の修飾等によって病原体に対する生体防御を増強させるなどの重要な働きを担っている。 On the other hand, an antibody is a recognition biomolecule in acquired immunity, and promotes phagocytosis, thereby increasing antigen presentation and co-stimulatory molecule expression. It also plays important roles such as enhancing biological defense against pathogens by cross-linking Fc receptors and modifying cytokine production.
β-グルカンに対する抗体の報告はほとんど存在しなかったが、最近になってβ-グルカンを抗原として用いた固相化ELISA法によって、ヒト血清中に抗β-グルカン抗体（抗BG抗体）が存在することが確認された（非特許文献８）。
ヒト体液中のβ-グルカン抗体の存在を確認し、その存在量を測定することは、生体におけるβ-グルカンの作用を正しく評価するために極めて有効である。特に、生体中のβ-グルカンは腫瘍活性、アジュバンド活性、CD8+T細胞誘導活性、NOやINF-γなどのサイトカイン産生などの免疫薬理活性を示すことや真菌感染症患者血中に遊離されてくることから、β-グルカンに特異的な生体内抗体を測定することは、腫瘍や真菌感染症、各種免疫疾患の診断、あるいはそれらの疾患治療の有効性を評価するための指標として有用である。 Confirming the presence of β-glucan antibodies in human body fluids and measuring their abundance are extremely effective for correctly evaluating the action of β-glucan in a living body. In particular, β-glucan in the body exhibits immunopharmacological activities such as tumor activity, adjuvant activity, CD8 + T cell induction activity, production of cytokines such as NO and INF-γ, and is released into the blood of fungal infection patients. Therefore, measuring in vivo antibodies specific for β-glucan is useful as an index for diagnosing tumors, fungal infections, various immune diseases, or evaluating the effectiveness of these disease treatments. is there.
本願発明は、以上のとおりの事情に鑑みてなされたものであり、生体から単離した体液試料中の抗β-グルカン抗体を簡便かつ高精度で測定することのできる改良された測定方法と測定キットを提供することを課題としている。 The present invention has been made in view of the circumstances as described above, and an improved measurement method and measurement capable of measuring an anti-β-glucan antibody in a body fluid sample isolated from a living body simply and with high accuracy.

(1) a carrier on which β-glucan purified from yeast or fungus is immobilized,
(2) An anti-β-glucan antibody measurement kit comprising a labeled anti-IgG secondary antibody is provided.
前記測定キットにおいては、β-グルカンが、酵母（Saccharomyces cerevisiae）または真菌（Candida）から精製したβ-グルカンであることを好ましい態様としている。さらに、酵母（Saccharomyces cerevisiae）から精製したβ-グルカンが、Zymosan Aから精製したβ-グルカン（ZYMBG）であり、真菌（Candida）から精製したβ-グルカンが、Candida細胞壁から精製したβ-グルカン（CSBG）であることをさらに好ましい態様としている。 In the measurement kit, β-glucan is preferably β-glucan purified from yeast (Saccharomyces cerevisiae) or fungus (Candida). Furthermore, β-glucan purified from yeast (Saccharomyces cerevisiae) is β-glucan (ZYMBG) purified from Zymosan A, and β-glucan purified from fungi (Candida) is β-glucan purified from Candida cell wall ( CSBG) is a more preferable embodiment.
本願発明によって、ヒト体液中の抗β-グルカン抗体を簡便かつ高感度で測定することが可能となる。 According to the present invention, it becomes possible to measure an anti-β-glucan antibody in a human body fluid simply and with high sensitivity.
本願発明の測定方法は、酵母または真菌から精製したβ-グルカンと体液試料とを接触させることによって、被験者の体液中に存在する抗BG抗体を検出することを基本操作とする。 The measurement method of the present invention is based on detecting an anti-BG antibody present in a body fluid of a subject by bringing a β-glucan purified from yeast or fungi into contact with a body fluid sample.
精製β-グルカンを体液試料に添加してβ-グルカンと結合した抗BG抗体を測定すること（液層系測定）も原理的に可能であるが、好ましくは、精製β-グルカンを固相化したプレート上で体液試料との反応を行う。固相化β-グルカン抗原と結合しない抗BG抗体を洗浄バッファーで除去することによって、固相化抗原量に基づいた正確な測定が可能となるからである。 Although it is also possible in principle to measure purified anti-BG antibody bound to β-glucan by adding purified β-glucan to a body fluid sample (liquid layer system measurement), preferably, purified β-glucan is immobilized on a solid phase. The reaction with the body fluid sample is performed on the prepared plate. This is because the anti-BG antibody that does not bind to the immobilized β-glucan antigen is removed with a washing buffer, thereby enabling accurate measurement based on the amount of the immobilized antigen.
体液試料は、抗BC抗体を含んだ状態で単離可能な液体であり、例えば、血液、リンパ液、唾液、胃液、汗、涙、鼻水、尿等であるが、特に血液または唾液を対象とすることによって正確かつ簡便は抗BC抗体の測定が可能である。また、唾液はサンプリングが簡易であり、被験者に対して非侵襲的にサンプリングを行うことができるといった利点を有している。 A body fluid sample is a liquid that can be isolated in a state containing an anti-BC antibody, such as blood, lymph, saliva, gastric juice, sweat, tears, runny nose, urine, etc., but particularly for blood or saliva. Therefore, it is possible to measure the anti-BC antibody accurately and conveniently. Saliva has the advantage that it is easy to sample and can be sampled non-invasively on the subject.
β-グルカン抗原は、酵母（Saccharomyces cerevisiae）から精製したβ-グルカン、または真菌（Candida）から精製したβ-グルカンであることが好ましい。特に、血液を対象とする場合には酵母（Zymosan A）から精製したβ-グルカン（ZYMBG）であることがさらに好ましく、唾液を対象とする場合には真菌（Candida）細胞壁から精製したβ-グルカン（CSBG）であることがさらに好ましい。 The β-glucan antigen is preferably β-glucan purified from yeast (Saccharomyces cerevisiae) or β-glucan purified from fungi (Candida). In particular, β-glucan (ZYMBG) purified from yeast (Zymosan A) is more preferable for blood, and β-glucan purified from fungal (Candida) cell walls for saliva. More preferably, it is (CSBG).
また、これらのβ-グルカン抗原の精製度は重要である。生体は様々な抗原に対する抗体を有しているので、不純物が含まれていると正確な測定ができない。例えば、実施例に示した方法によって高純度に精製したZYMBGまたはCSBGを抗原とすることが特に好ましい。 In addition, the purity of these β-glucan antigens is important. Since living organisms have antibodies against various antigens, accurate measurement cannot be performed if impurities are included. For example, it is particularly preferable to use ZYMBG or CSBG purified to a high purity by the method shown in the Examples as the antigen.
β-グルカン抗原をプレートに固相化するためには、公知のcoating buffer（2M 硫酸アンモニウム、5mMTE pH 7.4; 100mM 炭酸バッファー pH9.2、TDBA-AC5-sulfo-OSu/DMSO UV）を使用し、ブロッキング処理の有無、乾燥処理の有無などを適宜に組み合わせて行うことができる。ただし、好ましくは100mM 炭酸バッファー，pH9.2、ブロッキング処理なし、乾燥処理有りの工程でβ-グルカン抗原をプレートに固相化する。このようにして作成したプレートは、抗BG抗体との反応性がよいことは勿論のこと、乾燥剤とともにアルミバックに入れた状態で安定的に供給することができる。 To immobilize β-glucan antigen on the plate, use a known coating buffer (2M ammonium sulfate, 5 mM TE pH 7.4; 100 mM carbonate buffer pH 9.2, TDBA-AC5-sulfo-OSu / DMSO UV) and blocking. The presence or absence of the treatment, the presence or absence of the drying treatment, and the like can be appropriately combined. However, the β-glucan antigen is preferably immobilized on a plate in a step of 100 mM carbonate buffer, pH 9.2, no blocking treatment, and drying treatment. The plate thus prepared can be stably supplied in a state of being put in an aluminum bag together with a desiccant as well as having good reactivity with the anti-BG antibody.
血液を対象とする場合には、この固相化プレートに接触させる被験血液は、血清が好ましい。また、血清の希釈率は、約1500倍から約3000倍の範囲が好ましく、特に実施例に示したように約2000倍希釈が好ましい。しかも、このような高希釈倍率のため，洗浄バッファーに含まれるtweenによるブロッキング効果により、ブロッキング操作を含むことなく簡便な測定が可能となる。また唾液を対象とする場合には、遠心分離して得た唾液の上清を10〜40倍程度、好ましくは約10倍程度に希釈してプレートに接触させる。 In the case of blood, the test blood to be brought into contact with the solid phase plate is preferably serum. Further, the dilution ratio of serum is preferably in the range of about 1500 times to about 3000 times, and particularly preferably about 2000 times dilution as shown in the Examples. Moreover, because of such a high dilution ratio, simple measurement can be performed without including a blocking operation due to the blocking effect of tween contained in the washing buffer. When saliva is used as a target, the saliva supernatant obtained by centrifugation is diluted to about 10 to 40 times, preferably about 10 times, and brought into contact with the plate.
好ましい測定手順としては、β-グルカン抗原固相化プレートに体液試料を接触させて抗原と抗体を結合させ、洗浄の後、標識化二次抗体を反応させて固相化β-グルカン抗原に結合した抗BG抗体を検出する。二次抗体の標識として酵素を用いる場合は、いわゆる「ELISA測定法」である。また、二次抗体としては抗IgG抗体の使用が好ましい。後記の実施例にも示したように、抗BG抗体の主なアイソタイプはIgGであるためである。 As a preferred measurement procedure, a body fluid sample is brought into contact with a β-glucan antigen-immobilized plate to bind the antigen and the antibody, and after washing, a labeled secondary antibody is reacted to bind to the immobilized β-glucan antigen. Anti-BG antibody detected. When an enzyme is used as a label for the secondary antibody, it is a so-called “ELISA measurement method”. Further, it is preferable to use an anti-IgG antibody as the secondary antibody. This is because the main isotype of the anti-BG antibody is IgG as shown in the examples described later.
また、抗BG抗体の定量的な測定のためには、後記実施例で作成例を示した標準抗体力価3200、800、200、50 unitの範囲を含む検量線を使用することが好ましい。 For quantitative measurement of anti-BG antibody, it is preferable to use a calibration curve including standard antibody titers of 3200, 800, 200, and 50 units shown in the examples described later.
次に、本願発明の測定キットは、前記の精製β-グルカン抗原固相化プレートと、標識化抗IgG二次抗体を必須として含むことを特徴としている。 Next, the measurement kit of the present invention is characterized by including the purified β-glucan antigen-immobilized plate and a labeled anti-IgG secondary antibody as essential components.
さらにこの測定キットは、標準抗体（抗ヒトIgG抗体など）や、洗浄・希釈バッファー（PBSTなど）を含むことが好ましい。また、二次抗体の標識が酵素の場合には、その発色基質を含むようにする。例えば、標識がHRPの場合には基質としてTMB溶液を含む。 Furthermore, this measurement kit preferably contains a standard antibody (such as an anti-human IgG antibody) and a washing / dilution buffer (such as PBST). In addition, when the label of the secondary antibody is an enzyme, the chromogenic substrate is included. For example, when the label is HRP, a TMB solution is included as a substrate.
以下、実施例を示して本願発明をさらに詳細かつ具体的に説明するが、本願発明は以下の例によって限定されるものではない。 EXAMPLES Hereinafter, although an Example is shown and this invention is demonstrated further in detail and concretely, this invention is not limited by the following examples.

On the other hand, CSBG was obtained by suspending 2 g of dried C. albicans cells in a 0.1 M NaOH solution, adding NaClO, and performing oxidation treatment overnight at 4 ° C. After the reaction, the mixture was centrifuged at 12000 rpm for 15 minutes to collect the precipitate. The insoluble part was washed with ethanol and acetone and dried to obtain an insoluble fraction. This insoluble fraction was suspended in DMSO, sonicated, and centrifuged to obtain a fungus (Candida) -derived BG (CSBG).
(2) Measurement of anti-BG antibody titer
A 96 well immune plate (Nunc) was coated with ZYMBG or CSBG using bicarbonate buffer (pH 9.0) and incubated overnight at 4 ° C. After washing with PBST, it was blocked with 1% BPBST at 37 ° C. for 60 minutes. After washing with PBST, a standard antibody (human IgG antibody, Sigma, Product number I-4506) and a sample (50 μL) were added, incubated at 37 ° C. for 60 minutes, and then washed with PBST. 50 μL of peroxidase-communicating anti-human IgG + M + A (Sigma) was added as a secondary antibody and incubated again at 37 ° C. for 60 minutes. After washing with PBST, color was developed using a peroxidase substrate (TMB microwell peroxidase system, KPL Inc.). After stopping the reaction with 1 N phosphoric acid, the absorbance (
Example 1: Measurement of anti-BG antibody in human globulin preparation Human globulin preparation (polyglobulin N, BAYWER) prepared from human pool serum, anti-BG antibody titer of immunoglobulin derived from human immunoglobulin G (Sigma) which is a globulin reagent A dilution series was prepared and measured.
結果は図１および図２に示したとおりであり、ポリグロブリンNでは12800倍希釈、human immunoglobulin Gでは5000倍希釈でも抗BG抗体価が測定可能であった。 The results are as shown in FIGS. 1 and 2. The anti-BG antibody titer was measurable even when diluted 12800 times with polyglobulin N and 5000 times with human immunoglobulin G.
以上の結果から、ZYMBG固相化プレートを使用する本願発明の測定系によってヒト生体試料における抗BG抗体を高感度で測定できることが確認された。
実施例２：可溶性抗原添加による競合的ELISAでの結合抗体特異性の検討
ポリグロブリンN 4000倍希釈のZYMBG固相化プレートへの添加時に、可溶性抗原として、様々な標準多糖を同時に添加し、プレートと可溶性抗原間で抗体結合を競合させることにより、反応抗体の特異性を検討した。
From the above results, it was confirmed that the anti-BG antibody in a human biological sample can be measured with high sensitivity by the measurement system of the present invention using a ZYMBG solid-phased plate.
Example 2: Examination of binding antibody specificity in competitive ELISA by addition of soluble antigen Polyglobulin N At the time of addition to 4000-fold diluted ZYMBG solid-phase plate, various standard polysaccharides were added simultaneously as soluble antigen, and the plate The specificity of the reactive antibody was examined by competing for antibody binding between soluble and soluble antigens.
結果は図３に示したとおりである。ZYMBGの添加により、添加量依存的に抗体結合が抑制されたが、酵母由来マンナンでは抑制されなかった。この結果から、本願発明の測定系はBG特異的結合抗体を測定することが確認された。 The results are as shown in FIG. By adding ZYMBG, antibody binding was suppressed depending on the amount added, but not by yeast-derived mannan. From this result, it was confirmed that the measurement system of the present invention measures a BG-specific binding antibody.
ZYMBGと同様に、CSBG（β1,3、1,6-glucan）を添加した場合にも抗体結合は強く抑制されたが、６分岐β1,3-glucanやGRNの添加では抗体結合はほとんど抑制されなかった。この結果から、抗BG抗体はCSBGに対しても高い反応性を示すことが確認された。また、AgHWE、LAM（β1,6-glucan>>β1,3-glucan）およびASBG（β1,6-glucan<<β1,3-glucan）の添加によっても抗体結合が抑制されたことから、本願発明の測定系はβ1,6-glucan鎖とβ1,3-glucan鎖を認識する抗体を測定していることが確認された。
実施例３：ヒト血清中の抗BG抗体の測定
健常ヒト血清（８例）において希釈系列を作成し、CSBG固相化プレートを用いて抗BG抗体力価を測定した。
As with ZYMBG, antibody binding was strongly suppressed when CSBG (β1,3,1,6-glucan) was added, but antibody binding was almost suppressed when 6-branched β1,3-glucan or GRN was added. There wasn't. From this result, it was confirmed that the anti-BG antibody showed high reactivity with CSBG. In addition, since the antibody binding was suppressed by addition of AgHWE, LAM (β1,6-glucan >> β1,3-glucan) and ASBG (β1,6-glucan << β1,3-glucan), the present invention This measurement system was confirmed to measure antibodies that recognize β1,6-glucan chain and β1,3-glucan chain.
Example 3: Measurement of anti-BG antibody in human serum A dilution series was prepared in healthy human serum (8 cases), and the anti-BG antibody titer was measured using a CSBG-immobilized plate.
結果は図４に示したとおりである。いずれの個体においても抗BG抗体の存在が確認された。またヒト血清中の抗BG抗体の測定に適正な血清希釈率は2000倍程度であることが確認された。以下の実施例では、ヒト血清中抗BG抗体の測定は、血清2000倍希釈にて行った。

ヒトグロブリン製剤より、酵母由来の水不溶性β-グルカンを担体として精製した抗体画分を標準抗体として用い、希釈系列を作成し、検量線を作成した。
The results are as shown in FIG. The presence of anti-BG antibodies was confirmed in all individuals. It was also confirmed that the appropriate serum dilution ratio for measuring anti-BG antibodies in human serum was about 2000 times. In the following examples, the measurement of anti-BG antibody in human serum was carried out at a 2000-fold dilution of serum.
Example 4: Preparation of a calibration curve using standard serum Using an antibody fraction purified from a human globulin preparation with a water-insoluble β-glucan derived from yeast as a carrier, a dilution series was prepared and a calibration curve was prepared. did.
得られた検量性は図５のとおりである。40、160、640および2560倍希釈の範囲において直線的な検量線が得られた。これらの希釈率の吸光度から抗体力価をそれぞれ3200、800、200、50 unitとし、以後、この検量線を用いて検体の力価測定を行った。
実施例５：検量線を用いたヒト血清中の抗BG抗体力価の測定
健常ヒト血清（24例）における抗BG抗体力価を、実施例４で作成した検量線を用いて測定した。
The obtained calibration is as shown in FIG. Linear calibration curves were obtained in the range of 40, 160, 640 and 2560-fold dilutions. The antibody titer was set to 3200, 800, 200, and 50 units from the absorbance at these dilution ratios, and the titer of the specimen was measured using this calibration curve.
Example 5: Measurement of anti-BG antibody titer in human serum using calibration curve The anti-BG antibody titer in healthy human serum (24 cases) was measured using the calibration curve prepared in Example 4.
結果は図６に示したとおりである。平均力価は約2370 unitであり、4360 unitから630 unitの間において力価の個体差が存在した。
実施例６：キノコ系機能性食品服用者における抗体力価の変化
β-グルカンはキノコの主要構成多糖成分であることが知られている。そこで、食用薬用・健康食品であるAgaricus brasiliensis抽出物（King Agaricus）を服用した健常者（年齢43±11、男性13名、女性14名）の抗BG抗体力価を測定した。対照としては、プラセボを服用した健常者（年齢45±9、男性12名、女性23名）について同様の測定を行った。なお、抗体力価には個体差が存在するため、服用前の抗BG抗体価（unit）に対する服用後の増加率で抗体力価の変化を評価した。
The results are as shown in FIG. The average titer was about 2370 units, and there were individual differences in titer between 4360 units and 630 units.
Example 6: Changes in antibody titer in mushroom functional food users It is known that β-glucan is the main constituent polysaccharide component of mushrooms. Therefore, the anti-BG antibody titer of healthy subjects (age 43 ± 11, 13 men, 14 women) who took Agaricus brasiliensis extract (King Agaricus), an edible medicinal and health food, was measured. As a control, the same measurement was performed on healthy subjects (age 45 ± 9, 12 men, 23 women) who took placebo. Since there are individual differences in antibody titer, the change in antibody titer was evaluated based on the rate of increase after taking the anti-BG antibody titer (unit) before taking.
結果は図７に示したとおりである。プラセボ服用者と比較して、アガリクス服用者では抗BG抗体価の増加率が高い傾向を示した。
実施例７：抗BG抗体アイソタイプの検討
抗体にはいくつかのアイソタイプが存在する。抗BG抗体にもIgG、IgM、IgAクラスが存在することが明らかとなってきた。検出する二次抗体のロット間の安定性から特定のアイソタイプを測定することが望ましい。そこで、どのアイソタイプを測定するのが適切かを健常者77例における各抗BGアイソタイプ（IgG、IgM、IgA）抗体力価を比較検討した。
The results are as shown in FIG. Compared to placebo users, Agaricus users tended to have a higher rate of increase in anti-BG antibody titers.
Example 7: Examination of anti-BG antibody isotypes There are several isotypes of antibodies. It has become clear that IgG, IgM, and IgA classes also exist in anti-BG antibodies. It is desirable to measure a specific isotype based on the stability between lots of secondary antibodies to be detected. Therefore, we compared the anti-BG isotype (IgG, IgM, IgA) antibody titers in 77 healthy subjects to determine which isotype is appropriate.
その結果、IgGクラスが高い力価を示したことから、IgGが主たる抗BG抗体アイソタイプであり、測定系における二次抗体として抗IgG抗体の使用が好ましいことが確認された。
実施例８：唾液中抗BG抗体価の測定
Slivette（SARSTEDT社製）を口腔内で左右30回ずつ被験者に噛ませて唾液試料を採取し、2分間1000回転で遠心を行なった。上清を回収し、アジ化ナトリウム0.09％を含有する生理食塩水で2倍希釈し、-80℃で冷凍保存した。採取したヒト健常人唾液をサンプルNo. 1-4として希釈系列を作成し、CSBG固相化プレートを用いて唾液中抗BG抗体力価を測定した。その際にブロッキング剤としてどんな物質が適しているのかを検討するため、BPBSTとカゼインNaを用いて比較検討を行なった（図8）。
As a result, since the IgG class showed a high titer, it was confirmed that IgG is the main anti-BG antibody isotype and that the use of anti-IgG antibody as the secondary antibody in the measurement system is preferable.
Example 8: Measurement of anti-BG antibody titer in saliva
Slivette (manufactured by SARSTEDT) was chewed by the subject 30 times each in the mouth to collect a saliva sample, and centrifuged at 1000 rpm for 2 minutes. The supernatant was collected, diluted 2-fold with physiological saline containing 0.09% sodium azide, and stored frozen at -80 ° C. A dilution series was prepared using the collected human healthy human saliva as sample No. 1-4, and the anti-BG antibody titer in saliva was measured using a CSBG solid-phased plate. In order to investigate what substances are suitable as blocking agents at that time, a comparative study was conducted using BPBST and casein Na (FIG. 8).
1%BPBSTをブロッキング剤として用いた場合には、唾液の希釈依存的に吸光度が減少し、唾液中CSBG反応性IgAの存在を示唆した。しかしながら、CSBG固相化を行なっていない場合では、CSBG固相化を行なった場合の吸光度の10〜70%を呈した(図8の左上、左下)。このことから、BPBSTブロッキング条件では、非特異的な反応を検出している可能性が考えられた。一方、ブロッキング剤として1% caseinを用いた場合には（図８の右上、右下）、CSBG固相化プレートでは唾液の希釈依存的に吸光度が減少し、CSBG固相化なしのプレートではCSBG固相化を行なった場合の吸光度の10%未満を呈した。このことからブロッキング剤として1%caseinが適していることが示唆され、唾液中抗BG抗体価の測定が可能であることが示された。
実施例９：可溶性抗原添加による競合ELISAによる結合抗体（測定抗体）特異性の検討
実施例８に記載したサンプルNo. 1-4の80倍希釈の唾液をCSBG固相化プレートへ添加する際に、可溶性抗原として様々な標準多糖を同時に添加し、固相と可溶性抗原間で抗体結合を競合させることにより反応抗体の特異性を検討した。
When 1% BPBST was used as a blocking agent, the absorbance decreased depending on the dilution of saliva, suggesting the presence of CSBG-reactive IgA in saliva. However, when CSBG solid-phase immobilization was not performed, 10 to 70% of the absorbance when CSBG solid-phase immobilization was performed was exhibited (upper left and lower left in FIG. 8). From this, it was considered that a nonspecific reaction may be detected under the BPBST blocking condition. On the other hand, when 1% casein is used as the blocking agent (upper right and lower right in FIG. 8), the absorbance decreases depending on the dilution of saliva on the CSBG-immobilized plate, and CSBG on the plate without CSBG-immobilized. It exhibited less than 10% of the absorbance when solid-phased. This suggests that 1% casein is suitable as a blocking agent, indicating that the anti-BG antibody titer in saliva can be measured.
Example 9: Examination of Specificity of Bound Antibody (Measurement Antibody) by Competitive ELISA with Addition of Soluble Antigen When adding 80-fold diluted saliva of sample No. 1-4 described in Example 8 to CSBG-immobilized plate Then, various standard polysaccharides were added simultaneously as soluble antigens, and the specificity of the reactive antibody was examined by competing antibody binding between the solid phase and the soluble antigen.
結果は図９に示したとおりである。Candida細胞壁由来長鎖β1,6-グルカン側鎖を有するβ1,3-グルカン（CSBG）で強く抑制されたが、6分岐β1,3-グルカン（GRN）ではほとんど抑制されなかった。従って、唾液中抗体は、長鎖β1,6-グルカン側鎖を有するβ1,3-グルカンに高反応性を示すことが示唆された。また、AgHWE(β1,6-グルカン＞β1,3-グルカン)、ASBG(β1,3-グルカン＞β1,6-グルカン)いずれの添加によっても抑制されることから、本測定系はβ1,6-グルカン鎖とβ1,3-グルカン鎖を認識する抗体を測定していることが示唆された。
実施例１０：ヒト唾液中抗BG抗体価の経時変化の検討
実施例８と同様のヒト唾液中抗BG抗体の測定法を用いて、一日の様々な時点で唾液を採取し、どのような日内変動が見られるのか検討した。なお唾液はブロッキング剤であるcaseinでそれぞれ10倍、20倍、40倍、100倍希釈し、実験に用いた。
The results are as shown in FIG. It was strongly suppressed by β1,3-glucan (CSBG) having a long chain β1,6-glucan side chain derived from Candida cell wall, but hardly suppressed by 6-branched β1,3-glucan (GRN). Therefore, it was suggested that the saliva antibody is highly reactive to β1,3-glucan having a long-chain β1,6-glucan side chain. In addition, since this is suppressed by the addition of either AgHWE (β1,6-glucan> β1,3-glucan) or ASBG (β1,3-glucan> β1,6-glucan), this measurement system has β1,6- It was suggested that antibodies that recognize glucan chains and β1,3-glucan chains were measured.
Example 10: Examination of the time course of anti-BG antibody titer in human saliva Using the same method for measuring anti-BG antibody in human saliva as in Example 8, saliva was collected at various times of the day, We examined whether daily fluctuations were observed. Saliva was diluted 10-fold, 20-fold, 40-fold, and 100-fold with casein, a blocking agent, and used for experiments.
結果は図１０に示したとおりであり、一日の中で唾液中の抗BG抗体IgA力価には、経時変化が認められ、特に起床時に高力価を示すということが明らかになった。
実施例１１：検体の唾液中抗BG抗体価の比較
実施例８と同様のヒト唾液中抗BG抗体の測定法を用いて、ヒト唾液(8例)において希釈系列を作成し、抗BG抗体力価を測定した。
The results are as shown in FIG. 10, and it was revealed that the anti-BG antibody IgA titer in saliva was changed over time during the day, and particularly showed a high titer at the time of getting up.
Example 11: Comparison of anti-BG antibody titer in sample saliva Using the same method for measuring anti-BG antibody in human saliva as in Example 8, a dilution series was prepared in human saliva (8 cases), and anti-BG antibody potency was determined. The value was measured.
結果は図１１に示したとおりであり、いずれの個人においても抗BG抗体の存在が確認され、力価に個人差があることが明らかになった。 The results are as shown in FIG. 11, and the presence of anti-BG antibodies was confirmed in all individuals, and it was revealed that there were individual differences in titers.
