检测与神经系统疾病相关的自身抗体通常涉及放射性标记的天然蛋白的免疫沉淀。我们探讨了在荧光素酶免疫沉淀系统中,融合到Renilla荧光素酶(Ruc)的单一受体亚单位是否可以检测患者自身抗体。测定重症肌无力患者血清中烟碱乙酰胆碱受体(AChR) α1亚基的构象自身抗体。使用10个AChR-α1片段,AChR-α1-Δ5-Ruc显示出与构象特异性抗体的最高免疫反应性和在试点队列中的最高敏感性。在更大的队列中检测AChR-α1-Δ5-Ruc的灵敏度为21%,特异性为97%。Ruc内的点突变提高了AChR-α1-Δ5的诊断效能(32%的敏感性,97%的特异性)。125I-α-虫毒多亚基AChR检测灵敏度63%,特异度97%。这些发现强调了在各种检测格式中检测重症肌无力构象表位的困难,并为检测针对AChR和其他潜在神经递质受体的重组链的自身抗体奠定了基础。
Detection of autoantibodies associated with neurological disease typically involves immunoprecipitation of radioactively labeled native proteins. We explored whether single receptor subunits, fused to Renilla luciferase (Ruc), could detect patient autoantibodies in Luciferase Immunoprecipitation Systems. Myasthenia Gravis patient sera were tested for conformational autoantibodies to only the α1-subunit of the nicotinic acetylcholine receptor (AChR). Using a panel of 10 AChR-α1 fragments, AChR-α1-Δ5-Ruc demonstrated the highest immunoreactivity with a conformational-specific antibody and the highest sensitivity in a pilot cohort. Testing a larger cohort with AChR-α1-Δ5-Ruc demonstrated 21% sensitivity and 97% specificity. A point mutation within Ruc increased the diagnostic performance of AChR-α1-Δ5 (32% sensitivity, 97% specificity). The 125I-α-bungarotoxin multi-subunit AChR assay demonstrated 63% sensitivity and 97% specificity. These findings highlight the difficulty in detecting Myasthenia Gravis conformational epitopes across assay formats and lay the foundation for detecting autoantibodies to defined recombinant chains of the AChR and potentially other neurotransmitter receptors.
