Definitions
- This invention relates generally to a device and method for determining the presence of an analyte in a test sample. More particularly, the present invention relates to a device and method for use in an agglutination assay process or test. It is particularly well suited, but not exclusively so, to processes and tests for agglutination reactions (e.g., haemagglutination reactions).
- the antigen-antibody reaction is the basis for all immunological test methods. Certain proteins known as antibodies are produced by mammals in response to the presence of an antigen which is often another protein or can be a carbohydrate or other component. This normal body response to foreign substances has led to the development of a number of techniques which are used to diagnose various diseases, disorders and physiological conditions.
- the component of the antigen-antibody reaction to be detected is defined as an analyte while the other corresponding component is considered the ligand.
- the analyte may be an antigen or an antibody.
- This member can be a bibulous material (paper), a membrane or a reagent film.
- the dry and stable reagent may then be contained within a reactive zone of the device.
- analysis fluid makes contact with the dry reagent, the reagents are at least partially resolubilised to react with an analyte of interest.
- the present applicant provides several commercial assays which rely on specific reagents which, when added to a patient's sample, result in agglutination of the patient's red blood cells if the sample is positive. This is usually due to interaction between antibody-based reagents in the test kit, the analyte of interest in a patient's plasma and patient red blood cells. This haemagglutination is readily observed as clumping of the red blood cells.
- the existing assays are supplied in kit form, which includes three small plastic vials containing the buffer, test reagent and positive control together with pipette stirrers and plastic plates.
- the vials must be stored at 4° C.
- the existing assays are reasonably reliable and have widespread acceptance, they involve the necessity of considerable handling of material with subsequent risk of contamination and/or escape of dangerous organisms. Further, the assays involve a number of steps including the need to add specific volumes of fluids, thereby increasing the chance of variability in test technique. Individual proficiency can therefore become an issue in the reliability of the results.
- the present invention provides methods and devices for determining the presence or quantity of an analyte in a fluid sample. These methods and devices are generally based on (1) the formation of an agglutination complex in the presence of the analyte and (2) the use of a fluid passageway that includes a first part and a second part. The first part of the passageway permits the flow of the agglutination complex downstream to the second part and the second part impedes the downstream flow of the agglutination complex. Detection of the agglutination complex in or adjacent to the second part indicates the presence of the analyte in the fluid sample.
- the present invention provides assay devices, which include at least one passageway that comprises a wall on which one or more assay reagents (e.g., an agglutinating agent or agglutinable component) are releasably disposed thereon.
- assay reagents e.g., an agglutinating agent or agglutinable component
- the articles “a” and “an” are used herein to refer to one or to more than one (i.e., to at least one) of the grammatical object of the article.
- an element means one element or more than one element.
- the present invention provides methods for determining the presence of an analyte in a fluid sample. These methods generally comprise:
- cross section refers to a surface or shape of a passageway that is exposed, or a section of the passageway made, by a plane cutting the passageway transversely, especially at right angles, to an axis, including the longest axis, of the passageway.
- the fluid flow cross section of the first part of the passageway may have a shape, surface or cross sectional area that permits the flow of an agglutination complex downstream to the second part and the fluid flow cross section of the second part has a shape, surface or cross sectional area that impedes the flow therethrough of some or all of the agglutination complex.
- the cross section of the passageway may have any suitable shape that has the fluid flow characteristics referenced herein, including circular, ovoid, elliptical, square, rectangular, irregular, U-shaped, V-shaped or with internal projections.
- the passageway may contain one or more bends, curves bifurcations and the like, which regulate flow of fluid or the agglutination complex.
- the passageway may have a surface characteristic that regulates the flow of fluid and/or the agglutination complex to a downstream location of the passageway.
- the surface characteristic is provided at least in part by a wall of the passageway that comprises at least one flow-regulating component that is capable of interacting (e.g., binding, reacting etc) with a component of the agglutination complex including, for example, the ligand, the analyte and the agglutinable component.
- the surface of the passageway includes an antibody or antibody fragment that binds to the analyte. In illustrative examples of this type, the antibody or antibody fragment binds to a different epitope on the analyte than the one to which the ligand binds.
- the passageway further comprises a third part that receives components of the contacted sample that are permitted to flow downstream of the second part, wherein the third part is in fluid flow communication with the first part and the second part.
- the third part may include an immobilised capturing element that captures such components (e.g., free ligand and/or agglutinable component).
- the agglutination complex is associated with a first detectable signal and the agglutinable component is associated with a second detectable signal and the method further comprises comparing the first detectable signal in or adjacent to the second part and the second detectable signal in the second or third parts to provide a quantitative or semi-quantitative assay of the analyte in the fluid sample.
- the ligand and optionally other assay components are releasably disposed in the first part of the passageway and the method comprises contacting the fluid sample with the ligand and optionally other assay components in that part.
- the first part of the passageway has a fluid flow cross section that permits mixing of the analyte, if present in the fluid sample, with the ligand and the agglutinable component.
- the first part of the passageway is of appropriate shape or dimensions or has fluid flow surface characteristics, to permit agglutination to occur in a positive sample (i.e., a sample that contains the analyte) before the fluid sample arrives at the second part of the passageway.
- ligand associates with an agglutinable component is meant: (i) direct attachment of the agglutinable component to the ligand or a subsequent reaction product of the ligand; and (ii) indirect attachment of the agglutinable component to the ligand or a subsequent reaction product of the ligand, e.g., attachment of the agglutinable component to another assay reagent that subsequently binds to the ligand.
- the second part does not permit some or all of the agglutination complex to flow therethrough. In some embodiments, the second part does not permit at least 10%, 20%, 30%, 40%, 50%, 60%, 70%, 80%, 90%, 91%, 92%, 93%, 94%, 95%, 96%, 97%, 98% or 99% of the agglutination complex to flow therethrough.
- the analyte is selected from an antigen, a hapten, an antibody, a protein, a peptide, an amino acid, a nucleic acid, a hormone, a steroid, a vitamin, a carbohydrate, a lipid, a blood clotting factor, a pathogenic organism, a natural or synthetic chemical substance, a contaminant, a drug including those administered for therapeutic purposes as well as those administered for illicit purposes, and metabolites of or antibodies to any of the above substances.
- the analyte and the ligand will each be member of a binding pair, illustrative examples of which include antigens and antibodies, lectins and carbohydrates, complementary peptides, protein, carbohydrate and nucleic acid molecules, enzyme inhibitors and enzymes, Protein A and IgG, Fc receptors and immunoglobulins, as well as effector and receptor molecules.
- the agglutinable component is typically a particle which is suitably but not exclusively selected from polymeric particles (e.g., latex particles), ceramic particles (e.g., silica particles), metal particles, liposomes, carbon particles, bacteria and erythrocytes.
- the particle may comprise one or more dyes or fluorescent, phosphorescent or other light-emitting material, either singly or in combination.
- the agglutinable component may be conjugated with the ligand or it may be a separate component. In the latter case, the ligand suitably comprises a moiety (e.g., an antibody or antibody fragment) that is interactive with the agglutinable component.
- the ligand comprises an agglutinating agent that agglutinates the agglutinable component.
- agglutinating agents include bifunctional antibody conjugates in which one antibody or antibody fragment binds, for example, to red blood cells and the other antibody or antibody fragment binds, for example, to D-dimer.
- Representative assays that use such bifunctional antibody conjugates include the SimpliRED® assay (Agen Biomedical Limited, Brisbane, Australia).
- These devices generally comprise: at least one inlet port; and, for each analyte, at least one passageway that is in fluid flow communication with the at least one inlet port and that changes in fluid flow cross section or surface characteristics downstream of the at least one inlet port, wherein a fluid sample deposited in an individual inlet port travels along a flow path between a proximal end and a distal end of a respective passageway.

- Passage of the sample may be enhanced by addition of other fluids such as a buffer or wash solutions.
- the presence of fluid in the proximal portion 16 will, at least partially, resolubilise the reagent, thereby leading to mixing with the testing sample and institution of the diagnostic reaction if the target substance is present.
- the capillary conduit can be completely contained within the substance of the body so that there is no external leakage of the material. Alternatively, the conduit may comprise an open channel through which the fluid sample and reactants may pass.
- An intermediate section 20 is provided and comprises a series of parallel capillary channels 22.
- a distal zone 24 comprises a series of parallel narrow channels in the form of narrow capillary channels.
- the transfer from broad capillary channels to narrow capillary channels occurs at interface 26, thereby providing a well-demarcated transition between the broad and narrow channels.
- the capillary conduit 18 is in fluid communication with a reservoir 28 adapted to receive any transferred fluid, either sample or other material, and provide an outlet for the capillary transfer of materials.
- the reservoir may be vented to the outside to avoid increased pressure resisting capillary transfer. Additionally or alternatively, the reservoir may have an absorbent material located in it to receive and retain any fluid.
- Figure 2 shows a variation of testing device 110 with a port 112 which feeds into a manifold 130 which subsequently feeds into parallel capillary conduits 131, 132, 133 all with a similar structure to that described in relation to Figure 1.
- each of the conduits may have a different reagent located in the proximal zone 116 to provide a multiple testing capacity.
- One of the capillary channels may comprise a positive test reagent and one may comprise a negative test reagent for checking of testing device integrity.
- Figure 3 shows an example of a negative test result in an arrangement similar to that of Figure 1.
- the test sample 40 is shown contained in the reservoir 28. It has therefore flowed through the entire length of the testing conduit without being obstructed.
- the capillary conduit may incorporate two or more stepdown shoulders to provide a gradation of results and therefore give a more informative visual result.
- This provides a semi-quantitative result which may be calibrated or classified according to a range such as strong, intermediate, weak and negative.
- a variety of manufacturing processes all well known to those skilled in the art may be applied to provide the present test device.
- a first test device section and a second test device section are fused together during production to form the test body.
- the reagent may be placed on one of the sections and dried or, alternatively, placed on both prior to joining.
- Beneficial methods of application of the reagent may include screen or inkjet printing, spraying by use of an airbrush technique or conventional dispensing of quantities using a positive displacement microvolume dispenser.
- the reagents may be dried by stationary or forced air which may be heated or at room temperature.
- the reagent may be dried in the presence of stabilisers and agents which facilitate resolubilisation.
- the capillary conduit and the capillary channels may be achieved by etching and also by a punch-out and laminating technique, by embossing, heat stamping or by flow injection or compression moulding. Injection or compression moulding may be preferred because of their accuracy and precision. This accuracy may be important to provide appropriate flow dynamics through the capillary conduits and capillary channels.
- the first test device section and the second test device section may be constructed or composed of the same or different material and may be fused, for example, by adhesive tape, adhesive bonding, ultrasonic welding or even by a mechanical snap-in technique.
- a clear plastic, glass or other such material for the body and to define the capillary conduits and capillary channels.
- the body may be formed from polycarbonate, polymethylmethacrylate or polystyrene.
- Advantages of the present invention include an enclosed reaction area to reduce the possibility of contamination from infected blood samples, removal of any necessity to rock a reaction combination, fewer procedural steps, long-term stability of the reagents at room temperature and a more objective indication of agglutination and, in particular, haemagglutination.
- blood is applied to the sample port and flows into and through a region of parallel capillary channels, the first part of which is coated with the dried reagent.
- the reagent is solubilised and mixes with the blood, causing haemagglutination in a positive sample.
- the channels in this region are wide enough to allow the passage of agglutinated blood cells.
- the mixture eventually reaches a region of narrow capillary channels to allow the passage of individual red blood cells but not agglutinated cells.
- a negative sample all of the blood sample reaches and accumulates in the reservoir.
- a positive sample all or some of the sample may be retarded at the junction of the wide and narrow capillary tube.
- the device may be used to type human blood or blood from other species, wherein the reagent is an antibody or other agglutinating reagent directed against red blood cell typing antigens. It is further within the scope of this invention that the reagent is an active component of a particulate agglutination assay where the particles are, for example, coloured latex particles or fixed red blood cells conjugated to an antibody or antigen reactive with the analyte of interest.
