Definitions
- the present invention relates a method for the detection, identification and/or quantification of plant or animal tissues, microorganisms or cell free RNA or DNA and to reagents and detector apparatus adapted for performing said method.
- the method particularly uses Total Internal Reflection Fluoresence (TIRF) to measure hybridization of analyte RNA or DNA with RNA or DNA that is associated with an evanescent wave detector waveguide.
- TIRF Total Internal Reflection Fluoresence
- Gene probe assays using nucleic acid hybridization, are an alternative to immunoassays in the detection and identification of biological materials.
- the specificity of gene probes for their targets can be controlled much more easily than is possible using protein-based binding phenomena and, when coupled with the polymerase chain reaction to pre-amplify the target material, extreme sensitivity can be obtained.
- Current techniques using gene probes are slow, taking from hours to days to produce a result.
- Biosensors offer an alternative route to fast gene probe assays, but the only reports so far on gene probe biosensor assays are those using surface plasmon resonance (Evans & Charles (1990); Abstracts of 1st World Congress on DNA probes and i ⁇ ununoassay; Pollard-Knight et al (1990) Ann. Biol. Clin, __£ 642-646) .
- Evanescent wave biosensors which use the phenomenon of TIRF for detection (Sutherland _. Dahne, (1987) J. Immunol.Meth. , ___ ⁇ ., 253-265), have previously been used with proteins as the biological recognition element.
- Antibodies have been used to detect the binding of fluorescent-labelled antigen (Eldefrawi et al (1991) Biosensors & Bioelectronics, __,, 507 _ 5l6) using acetylcholine receptors to study the binding of acetylcholine and cholinesterase inhibitors.
- Other groups Pieroglitsch _. Thompson (1990) Biochemistry, ____, 248-24 have measured the binding of antibody to F c epitopes.
- the present invention provides a method for carrying out gene probe assays with an evanescent wave biosensor and provides a TIRF waveguide which is adapted for carrying out said method when incorporated within an evanescent wave biosensor device.
- Evanescent wave detectors exploit the TIRF phenomenon to provide a sensitive method for detecting reactions at the surface of waveguides.
- the waveguide may take various forms but typically will be a prism, slab or fibre.
- the reaction to be used to measure the target molecule may be monitored, for example, through measuring the fluorescence changes on binding or desorption of fluorescent species or by the generation of fluorescent species by enzymic or chemical means.
- Several patents have been published that cover the use of evanescent wave detectors with immunoassay systems as the biological sensing element (eg. US 4582809) but the inherent limitations in the immuno-reagents have not allowed the full capabilities of the sensor to be exploited.
- the present invention provides a method for the detection, identification and/or quantification of a material selected fom plant or animal tissue, microorganisms or cell free RNA or DNA comprising:
- step (ii) exposing the immobilised oligonucleotide of step (i) to the sample, or DNA or RNA material derived therefrom, under conditions whereby DNA or RNA having the characteristic oligonucleotide sequence will hybridize with it;
- step (iii) associating the immobilised oligonucleotide of step (i) or the nucleic acid material derived from the sample with a fluorescently detectable agent, before, during or on completion of any hybridization with DNA or RNA as provided in step (ii), such that the fluorescently detectable agent becomes bound to the hybridized product but not to unhybridized immobilized oligonucleotide;
- the fluorescently detectable agent is a fluorescently detectable intercalating dye capable of being incorporated into the duplex of the hybridization product.
- the dye is one that does not bind to the unhybridized immobilised oligonucleotides.
- Such method of determining the presence of hybridization product is ideally used with immobilised sequences of sufficient length in themselves to provide specific hybridization under the hybridization conditions used.
- the sample so analysed may be unaltered in DNA/RNA content, or may have had this enriched by specific sequence amplification, eg. polymerase chain reaction amplification (PCR) or ligase chain reaction (LCR) .
- PCR polymerase chain reaction amplification
- LCR ligase chain reaction
- the fluorescently detectable agent is a fluorescently detectable oligonucleotide which is capable of hybridizing with the hybridized characteristic sequence or which is capable of acting as a specific sequence amplification primer, eg. such as a polymerase chain reaction primer, to yield fluorescently detectable amplification product, which is detectable using evanescence when hybridized to the waveguide immobilised oligonucleotide.
- a specific sequence amplification primer eg. such as a polymerase chain reaction primer
- the present invention provides a method for the detection, identification and/or quantification of a material selected from plant or animal tissue, microorganisms or cell free RNA or DNA comprising:
- the present invention provides a method for the detection, identification and/or quantification of, plant or animal tissues, microorganisms or cell free RNA and DNA comprising:
- step (iii) performing a specific sequence amplification reaction on a sample of the material under investigation using the fluorescently detectable oligonucleotide of step (ii) as one of the primers, to thereby amplify any of the characteristic sequence present while incorporating fluorescently detectable agent therein;
- step (iv) exposing the waveguide immobilised complementary oligonucleotide of step (i) to the reaction mixture from step (iii) under conditions whereby hybridization of the amplification product with said immobilised oligonucleotide will occur;
- the specific amplification reaction of step (iii) is a polymerase chain reaction, but other such reactions such as the ligase chain reaction may usefully be employed, as will be clear to those skilled in the art.
- the waveguide is preferably situated within a temperature controllable environment, eg. within a temperature regulated chamber, such that the stringency of the hybridization of the complementary sequences to the target RNA or DNA may be controlled, or such that the polymerase chain reaction denaturation, hybridization and extension temperature cycles might be carried out.
- the fluorescently detectable complementary oligonucleotides may be provided in a number of forms, eg. as an oligonucleotide tagged either with a fluorescent label, with a moiety to which a fluorescent species can be bound or with an enzyme or catalyst capable of generating fluorescent species.
- step measuring steps may require additional steps prior to the basic fluoresence detection step, eg: exposure of the moiety to which a fluorescent species may be bound to such species or by exposure to substrate for the enzyme or catalyst reaction.
- the complemetary sequence of step (i) may be of sufficient length to specifically bind the target RNA or DNA whilst leaving enough unbound target RNA or DNA sequence to bind the detectable oligonucleotide of step (iii) .
- the immobilised sequence will comprise about half of the length of the target sequence, but increasing the length of target sequence will allow lesser proportions to be used.
- the detectable sequence of will be complementary to all or almost all of the remainder of the target sequence but this may similarly be a reduced portion as target characteristic sequence length increases.
- the immobilised oligonucleotide is complementary to a sequence toward or at one end of the target sequence while the fluorescently detectable sequence is complementary to a sequence toward of at the other end.
- restriction endonucleases may be conveniently employed prior to the hybridization for the purpose of cleaving the RNA or DNA of the sample material in order to allow easier access to these ends of the characteristic target sequence.
- the detectable sequence need only be long enough to be useful as a PCR primer of the necessary specificity but may be longer. It will be appreciated that both PCR primers may be fluorescently detectable thus increasing the potential fluorescence provided at the waveguide surface and thus the efficacy corresponding evanescent effect.
- preferred reagent baselengths are 5-30, more preferably 10-25, eg. 15-20 bases.
- the complementary sequences need not be complemetary at every base pair where they hybridize.
- a man skilled in the art will readily determine the stringency requirements for statistically acceptable use of mismatched oligomers eg. 90% complementary sequences and will be able to obtain usable results by adjusting the hybridization temperature accordingly where such mismatched sequences are used.
- a second aspect of the present invention provides an assay kit for use in the method of the invention comprising:
- the options for the components (1) and (2) are those which are set out above and in the claims, these components being optionally supplemented in the kit by those reagents necessary for immobilisation of the oligomer (1) on the waveguide; examples of suitable reagents being those referred to in the discussion of methods below.
- a third aspect of the invention provides a waveguide suitable for use in an evanescent wave biosensor characterised in that it comprises, immobilised upon its surface, an oligonucleotide which is complementary to all or part of an oligonucleotide sequence which is characteristic of the RNA or DNA sequence of the material which is to be detected.
- kits comprising such waveguides are provided for use in the method of the invention, as set out in the claims.
- an evanescent wave detector biosensor characterised in that it comprises a waveguide which has, immobilised upon its surface, an oligonucleotide which is complementary to all or part of an oligonucleotide sequence which is characteristic of the RNA or DNA sequence of the material which is to be detected.
- a waveguide may eg. be a prism, slab or fibre.
- the binding between the analyte and the immobilised and derivatised oligonucleotides can be regulated by adjusting the hybridization conditions and the lengths of the oligonucleotides, thus permitting the specificity and sensitivity of a given test to be finely adjusted to suit requirements;
- immunoassays are limited by availability of reagents, stability of reagents, antigenic variability, masking of antigenic sites, and the dissociation constants of the antibody/antigen complexes. Gene probe assays are pontentially superior in all these respects;
- fluorescen immunoassays suffer from interference from environmental contaminants and non-specific binding while the higher temperatures required for gene probe assays (ie. above 60°C rather than 37°C) will reduce unwanted adsorption of contaminants on the detector surface;
- the samples to be investigated may be as found in the environment (eg. for free RNA or DNA oligonucleotides) or may be pretreated such as by cell lysis techniques, DNA/RNA concentration or amplification (eg. as by polymerase chain reaction using Taq polymerase) or by restriction enzyme mediated degradation (eg. to provide more manageable sized oligonucleotides).
- Figure 1 shows the principal elements of the evanescent wave detector used in the Examples.
- Figure 2 shows the voltage/time relationship obtained on hybridization of a fluorescein-labelled 20-mer with a complementary sequence covalently coupled to an optic fibre waveguide.
- Figure 3 ⁇ shows concentration/response curves showing specific hybridization of complementary and control oligonucleotides; signal(mV/min) plotted against nM concentration oligomer.
- Figure 4 shows the effect of flow rate of sample solution throught the temperature controlled chamber containing the waveguide on the hybridization signal; signal (mV/min) is plotted against flow rate (ml/min) .
- Figure 5 shows the influence of temperature on the rate of hybridization; signal (mV/min) is plotted against temperature °C for a 50ng/ml sample of a fluorescein labelled 20-mer.
- Figure 6 shows a pH profile of oligonucleotide hybridization on the optic fibre waveguide; signal (mV/min) plotted against pH.
- Figure 7 shows binding from 8nM solutions of oligomers complementary to the proximal or distal ends of a covalently coupled 204 base oligonucleotide.
- Figure 8 shows a diagrammatic scheme of the molecular basis of the two of the embodiments of the method of the present invention.
- oligonucleotides are long-chain molecules with lengths that can be comparable to the depth of the evanescent zone. Studies were carried out which hybridized short, fluorescein-labelled oligonucleotides to either end of a 204-base oligomer, a fragment amplified from protective antigen gene of Bacillus anthracis. tethered at one end to the waveguide surface to examine the influence of probe length on detection.
- the fibre optic evanescent wave device (prototype No.19), and 1mm x 65mm quartz optic fibres were purchased from ORD, North Salem, New Hampshire, USA. See Figure 1.
- a six watt tungsten filament source (prototype No.19), and 1mm x 65mm quartz optic fibres were purchased from ORD, North Salem, New Hampshire, USA. See Figure 1.
- a six watt tungsten filament source (prototype No.19), and 1mm x 65mm quartz optic fibres).
- the output voltage from the voltmeter is conveniently connected to a Pharmacia model 482 chart recorder.
- Optic fibres were held in a jacketed flow cell constructed from glass capillary tubing with stainless steel end caps and silicone gaskets. Temperature was controlled by circulating water from a water bath through the glass jacket. The temperature was monitored using a thermocouple. Optic fibres were cleaned and then covalent coupling with glutaraldehyde was carried out using a method based on that described by Tijssen, (1985) , Practice and theory of enzyme immunoassays: page 322 to 323 of Vol 15. of Laboratory Techniques in Biochemistry and Molecular Biology. Ed: Burdon and van Knippenburg: Pub. Elsevier.
- Fibres were silanised in a 2% solution of APTS in acetone for 24 hrs at room temperature, washed with acetone, dried at 50°C, immersed in 1% glutaraldehyde in water for 1 hour, washed in PBS and finally left overnight at 4°C in a lOug/ml solution of oligonucleotide with an aminoter inal.
- an optic fibre with immobilised oligonucleotide was rinsed in deionised water, blotted dry and inserted into the flow cell.
- optimised the following conditions, adapted from Anderson & Young, (I985) Nucleic acid hybridization - a practical approach Ed. Hames and Higgins; IRL Press, Oxford, pp 73 ⁇ 1H. were used. The temperature of the water jacket was adjusted to 65°C.
- Prehybridisation solution (250ml 20xSSC, plus 50ml lOOx Denhardt's solution, 50ml 0.1M phosphate buffer and 1ml Tween 20 added to 600ml sterile deionised water, final pH 6.8) was pumped using a peristaltic pump over the fibre in the 25 ⁇ l flow cell at 0.5ml/min until a steady baseline was obtained.
- the fluorescein end-labelled target oligonucleotide, in prehybridization solution was then introduced at the same flow rate and hybridization was followed as the increase in output on the chart recorder. After a few minutes prehybridization solution was switched back into the flow cell and the temperature raised to 8 ⁇ °C. After 10 to 15 minutes all the bound oligonucleotide had desorbed and the temperature was lowered to 65°C ready for another run.
- the amino-labelled 204-base strand was released from the complementary strand and the beads by heating at 95°C for 10 minutes followed by quick chilling in a water/ice mixture and then removing the beads by centrifugation.
- the amount of the 204-mer produced was sufficient for a 0.85ug/m,l solution to be used for coupling to fibres.
- Detection was in the nanomolar range with a linear relationship between the slope of the response and concentration : similar to results obtained using iinmunoassays with this biosensor.
- Labelled oligomers are made using oligonucleotides labelled with multiple fluorophores or fluorescent beads, or fluorescent intercalating dyes are used to detect hybridization;
- the biosensor assay may is combined with a DNA amplification technique such as PCR which could be performed on the sample, prior to the hybridization on the waveguide, preferably using fluorophore-labelled primers (as in one of the preferred embodiments of the method of this invention above) to improve detection of product. It would also be possible directly to monitor PCR reactions using the biosensor.
- the 60 seconds or so taken for the biosensor assays is orders of magnitude faster than conventional gene probe assays and still much faster than, rapid, tests that take about 1 hour to perform, (Engleberg, (1991) ASM News 51 (4) 183-186) .
- Oligonucleotides were also bound to the proximal and distal ends of a 204-base oligonucleotide. The length of this could have been from 70nm, (using the value of 3.4nm for the pitch of double-stranded DNA which has 10 bases per helical), to 200nm, (using the inter-bond distances of the -0-P-O-C-C-C- repeats along the backbone of the molecule) .
- the depth of the evanescent zone defined as the distance taken for the light intensity to fall to 1/e of its initial value would have been around lOOnm, comparable to the length of the 204-mer. Since similar signals were obtained for the hybridisation of distal and proximal fluorescein-labelled oligonucleotides, (slightly higher signals were obtained for the distal oligonucleotide) , the orientation of the long oligonucleotide strands was presumably not perpendicular to the wave guide surface.
- FIG. 8 The molecular basis of the invention is provided in Figure 8 wherein 8a-c and 8d-f refer to the first and second preferred embodiments of the method of the invention respectively.
- an oligonucleotide sequence (A) complementary to part of an oligonucleotide sequence characteristic of a target DNA sequence (B) has been immobilised upon an evanescent wave detector waveguide by the method described above.
- the immobilised oligonucleotide is exposed under hybridization conditions to a solution of sample under bangtion and target DNA sequence (B) therein hybridizes to sequence (A) .
- the sample solution is replaced with a solution comprising a fluorescein labelled oligonucleotide (C) which is complementary to the unhybridized remainder of the target oligonucleotide, also under hybridizing conditions, and this is similarly hybridized.
- C fluorescein labelled oligonucleotide
- the fluorescein is caused to fluoresce by the light in the evanescent zone of the waveguide.
- the complementary sequence (A) is immobilised upon an evanescent wave detector waveguide as before; in 8e a sample solution is treated under PCR conditions with two primers (D) and (E) , each corresponding to a characteristic sequence at one of the two ends of the target characteristic sequence (B) .
- the primer for the end of the sequence which is opposite to the end which hybridizes to the immobilized oligonucleotide (A) is labelled with fluorescein and thus a product of the reaction is fluorescein labelled target sequence (F) .
- immobilised sequence (A) is exposed to the sample solution under hybridization conditions wherein fluorescein labelled target sequence (F) is hybridized to the sequence (A) may be detected by the evanescent wave detector induced fluorescence.
- the immobilised oligonucleotide (A) is selected such that it is not capable of binding to the primers (D) and (E) , thus excess of these will not result in a blocking of the immobilised site.
- olignucleotide (A') hybridizes to a portion of (F) more central in sequence (B) than primer (D) with the result that the non-fluorophor bearing end of (F) is as shown in Figure 8g.
- intercalating dye utilising embodiments of the method of the invention whilst not specifically exemplified herein, are carried out as illustrated best by Figures 8a and 8b wherein these steps are carried out in the presence or with later addition of the dye.
- Suitable dyes and conditions for their interaction are disclosed in the prior art, eg. Latt and Wohlleb; Chromosoma (Berl.) 52, 297-3l6 (1975). Jorgenson et al, Chrmosoma (Berl.) 68, 287-302 (1978) and Jennings and Ridler; Biophysics of Structure and Mechanism, 10, 71-79, (1983).
