Immunosensor for Mycobacterium tuberculosis on screen-printed carbon electrodes.

In this work, two methods have been compared to produce enzymatic voltammetric immunosensors for the determination of Mycobacterium tuberculosis antigens (Ag360 and Ag231), using a pre-oxidised screen-printed carbon electrode (SPCE) as a signal transduction element. The enzyme alkaline phosphatase (AP) was used in combination with the substrate 3-indoxyl phosphate (3-IP). In one design, the immune complexes between M. tuberculosis antigens and monoclonal antibodies against M. tuberculosis were formed out of the electrode surface. Then, the immune complexes were captured by biotinylated rabbit anti-M. tuberculosis antibodies, immobilised on the streptavidin modified SPCEs through the streptavidin:biotin reaction. Finally, an alkaline phosphatase (AP) labelled rabbit IgG anti-mouse immunoglobulin G was used as a detector antibody. In the other design, the M. tuberculosis antigens were captured by monoclonal antibodies against M. tuberculosis, which were immobilised on the electrode surface through the reaction with rabbit IgG passively adsorbed on the SPCEs. The biotinylated rabbit anti-M. tuberculosis antibodies were used with an alkaline phosphatase labelled streptavidin as detector antibodies. The best results for M. tuberculosis antigen determination were obtained using the immunosensor on the streptavidin modified SPCEs and the immune complexes between antigen Ag231 and monoclonal antibodies MabF184-3, with a detection limit of 1.0 ng/ml. The immunosensor was also applied to Ag231 spiked proteic matrices.

Production of platelet-derived growth factor in aseptic loosening of total hip replacement.

Aseptic loosening is the predominant cause of total hip implant failure. It has been assumed that a layer or membrane, containing macrophages, fibroblasts and vascular endothelial cells, of synovial-like tissue develops at the implant-to-bone interface almost invariably and, with time, somehow leads to loosening of the components from the surrounding bone. These cells produce a variety of cytokines and proteolytic enzymes which stimulate bone resorption. Platelet derived growth factor (PDGF) may be one of the cytokines which stimulate bone resorption and contribute to aseptic loosening in total hip replacement (THR). Synovial-like membrane from the implant or cement-to-bone interface (n = 10) and pseudocapsule (n = 10) were obtained from ten patients operated on for aseptic loosening of THR. As a control, nine samples of connective tissues were obtained from patients who had mandibular or maxillary fractures fixed with bone implant. The avidin-biotin-peroxidase complex (ABC) method with polyclonal rabbit anti-human IgG against the A-chain and B-chain of PDGF was used for staining. ABC-alkaline phosphatase-anti-alkaline-phosphatase double staining with monoclonal mouse anti-human fibroblast IgG1 and CD68 antibodies was used to ascertain the cellular origin of PDGF. Results of the PDGF staining were quantitated by a semi-automatic VIDAS image analysis system. The PDGF-A and PDGF-B chain containing cells were found in all periprosthetic tissues, in particular in macrophages with phagocytosed particulate debris, but to some extent also in fibroblasts and in endothelial cells. The numbers of PDGF-A and PDGF-B chain positive cells per mm 2 in synovial-like interface membrane (1881 +/- 486 and 1877 +/- 214) and pseudocapsule (1786 +/- 236 and 1676 +/- 152) were higher (P < 0.01) around loose THR than in control tissue (821 +/- 112 and 467 +/- 150), respectively. The results of the present study suggest that PDGF is preferably expressed by macrophages, which to an increased extent produce it in the synovial-like interface membrane and pseudocapsular synovial-like membrane. Because of its role in bone resorption, it may well play a role in periprosthetic bone loss and aseptic loosening and deserves more detailed study as a mediator and potential target in the modulation or prevention of loosening of THR.

Monoclonal alkaline phosphatase-anti-alkaline phosphatase (APAAP) complex: production of antibody, optimization of activity, and use in immunostaining.

A mouse monoclonal antibody, FMC55 (an IgG1), to alkaline phosphatase was prepared and evaluated in immunostaining. Clones producing antibody to alkaline phosphatase were selected using a micro-ELISA which identified antibodies forming active soluble complexes (APAAP) with the enzyme. Conditions that influenced the formation of the complex were investigated by using a quantitative assay in which the complex was captured by a bridging anti-mouse antibody. The ratio of FMC55 to enzyme had a major influence on the activity of the complex. Although all complexes had some activity, those that contained excess antibody had reduced ability to bind to anti-mouse antibody because of competition with excess unlabeled antibody. The optimal complex was formed with 3 micrograms of FMC55 per unit of enzyme. This complex contained neither free enzyme nor free antibody. The molecular weight by gel permeation chromatography was 600,000, giving a composition of two enzyme and two antibody molecules or one enzyme and three antibody molecules. The size of the complex was not altered by adding excess antibody or excess enzyme. Immunoblotting showed that FMC55 bound only to the Mr 140,000 homodimeric form of alkaline phosphatase. The APAAP complex was used in combination with biotin-streptavidin-peroxidase reagent to detect two antigens labeled with two different mouse monoclonal antibodies in the same tissue preparation.
