We have developed liposome sensitization by a protein, latrotoxin (LT), using immobilization of biotinylated LT via streptavidin with biotinylated phosphatidylethanolamine contained in liposomes. The use of such liposomes in the complement-dependent homogeneous liposome immune lysis assay (LILA) has allowed us to detect in the test sample as little as 2 micrograms/ml of polyclonal and 50-100 ng/ml of monoclonal IgG and IgM antibodies to LT. LT concentration in solution was determined by inhibition of immune lysis by free LT. The sensitivity of the LT assay varied from 1 x 10(-9) to 5-50 x 10(-9) M when antiserum (polyclonal antibodies) and monoclonal antibodies to LT were correspondingly used. The results show that a streptavidin-biotin spacer can be used to immobilize protein antigens on liposomes for a subsequent application in LILA. The suggested technique greatly simplifies the sensitization procedure and extends the applicability of the LILA.
我们通过一种蛋白质——黑寡妇毒素(LT)开发了脂质体致敏方法,即利用链霉亲和素将生物素化的LT与脂质体中含有的生物素化磷脂酰乙醇胺固定在一起。在补体依赖的均相脂质体免疫裂解试验(LILA)中使用这种脂质体,使我们能够在测试样品中检测到低至2微克/毫升的多克隆抗体以及50 - 100纳克/毫升的针对LT的单克隆IgG和IgM抗体。溶液中的LT浓度通过游离LT对免疫裂解的抑制作用来确定。当相应地使用抗血清(多克隆抗体)和针对LT的单克隆抗体时,LT检测的灵敏度在1×10⁻⁹至5 - 50×10⁻⁹ M之间变化。结果表明,链霉亲和素 - 生物素间隔物可用于将蛋白质抗原固定在脂质体上,以便随后应用于LILA。所建议的技术极大地简化了致敏程序并扩展了LILA的适用性。
