The invention has the following beneficial effects:
in the process of carrying out ELISPOT (enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay) for detecting brucellosis, the inventor unexpectedly discovers that the brucella lipidated outer membrane protein 16 (L-OMP 16) has a peptidoglycan related domain and has a stronger immunosuppressive trigger effect compared with other proteins, and can be a new potential pathogenic factor of Brucella, and verifies that the brucella lipidated outer membrane protein 16 (L-OMP 16) and the polypeptide thereof can really play a role in inhibiting IFN-gamma secretion of PBMC, and the inhibition of IFN-gamma secretion of PBMC by L-OMP16 can help Brucella escape from host cell immune surveillance, reduce cellular immune response, enable the Brucella lipidated outer membrane protein to survive in cells and further cause long-term chronic infection, so whether some related researches on L-OMP16 can change the mechanism of Brucella immune escape to avoid carrying the Brucella in a life. Furthermore, the inventor determines whether the brucellosis infection exists or not through a specific stimulant and specific inhibitor experiment, the detection result is more objective and accurate, the in-vivo immunity level can be reflected more truly, and the probability of false positive is reduced, so that the detection kit greatly improves the specificity and sensitivity of brucellosis detection, and is a quick and efficient detection means. Because only live bacteria exist continuously and cause T cell sensitization, and the T cell can generate IFN-gamma after being stimulated by exogenous specific antigen or peptide, the detection result can be used as the judgment of whether the T cell is in an active infection stage or not and also can be used as the evaluation index of whether live bacteria are carried after treatment.
The detection time of the method needs about 24 hours, which is much shorter than that of a bacterial culture method (the bacterial culture method is 3-5 days at the fastest speed, generally 15 days, and the longest time can be 20 days or one month), the positive detection rate of the method is about 98 percent and is much higher than that of the bacterial culture method (according to statistics, the positive detection rate of the existing bacterial culture method for an acute stage is about 53 percent, and the positive detection rate of a chronic stage is about 19 percent), and for the same sample, even if the bacterial culture method judges to be negative, the detection method of the detection kit can still detect the positive.
Moreover, although the current Immunofluorescence (IFS) detection method is accurate, the operation is too complex; although the current Flow Cytometer (FCM) detection method is simple, the current method is still in a searching stage, and results judge that too many variable factors exist; the detection kit disclosed by the invention indirectly reacts the condition with live bacteria through elispot, so that not only can whether brucella infection exists or not be known, but also the immunity of an organism can be preliminarily evaluated. The existing ELISA detection method needs body fluid dilution, so that the sensitivity is reduced, the survival state of the bacterium in the cell is unknown, and the immune level of an organism is difficult to truly reflect. And because each living cell forms a spot, the detection method can be used as semi-quantitative detection for detecting the brucella infection of the body.

Counting spots in the micropores, taking the average value of the multiple pores of each condition, and judging the result method: the negative control hole is not less than 10 and not more than 50, the positive control hole is more than 50, the detection result is considered to be effective, otherwise, the detection result is considered to be invalid. On the premise that the detection result is effective, if the inhibition hole is less than 10 and the stimulation hole is more than 50, the brucella infection can be determined; if the inhibition well is less than 10 and the stimulation well is less than or equal to 50, no Brucella infection is determined.
The results of testing 126 clinical samples by the methods of examples 2-6 and the bacterial culture method, respectively, are shown in Table 1, and the results of testing 25 blood donor samples are shown in Table 2, which proves that the ELISPOT method has a much higher detection rate than the bacterial culture method. And demonstrates that the specificity and sensitivity of the detection by both the front and back are higher than the one-directional detection as shown in table 3.

The ELISA is a detection technology developed on the basis of ELISA, and can quantitatively detect low-frequency cell subsets at the single cell level. Since ELISPOT visualizes a single cell, the sensitivity is improved by 2-3 orders of magnitude compared to traditional ELISA. Therefore, the ELISPOT detection technology greatly improves the sensitivity and specificity of brucellosis detection. The method is applied to the detection of Peripheral Blood Mononuclear Cell (PBMCs) samples of patients with brucella by an ELISPOT test method, and the ELISPOT detection is carried out on 126 PBMCs of patients diagnosed with brucella, and the results show that the positive rate of brucella diagnosis reaches 98.4% (124/126, example 2), 96.8% (122/126, example 3), 99.2% (125/126, example 4), 97.6% (123/126, example 5) and 95.2% (120/126, example 6), while the positive rate of bacterial culture is only 6% (8/126) (Table 1) in the traditional method, the ELISPOT is not detected in blood donors (Table 2), and the detection by adopting a forward specific stimulant and a reverse specific inhibitor (namely, a specific stimulant (stimulation group) + a specific inhibitor (inhibition group)) remarkably reduces the probability of false positive (only the specific stimulant is 8-24) compared with that by adopting a stimulation group only % false positive) (table 3), namely, the detection sensitivity is improved, panic (caused by brucellosis infection, infertility and arthralgia, and great harm to human bodies due to the fact that antibiotics are needed for treatment) is avoided being brought to patients due to the detection of the false positive, and the self immunity can be preliminarily and better evaluated, so that the specificity and the sensitivity of brucellosis detection are greatly improved, and the method is a quick and efficient detection means. The invisible bacteria carriers are detected through a specific stimulant and a specific inhibitor in a bidirectional way, namely the fact that Brucella still exists in a chronic asymptomatic patient, an immune escape phenomenon occurs, and a corresponding immune response cannot be generated is proved, and the immunosuppressive capacity of the L-OMP16 for PBMCs of Brucella patients is further proved in clinical aspects.
