Based on fluorescence energy transfer principle luminous rare-earth nanometer particles and preparation methodTechnical field
The present invention relates to a kind ofly, be mainly used in the marker detection and the spike of biomolecules, belong to the technical field of biomolecules nanometer marker preparation based on luminous rare-earth nanometer particles of fluorescence energy transfer principle and preparation method thereof.
Background technology
Fluorescent mark and detection technique have in fields such as life science, medical science, immunologys very widely to be used.Yet traditional fluorometric analysis is vulnerable to the interference of non-specific fluorescence.Now the fluorescent marker of Shi Yonging mostly is various organic dye molecules greatly, because its excitation wavelength and emission wavelength are close, Stokes displacement little (20-30nm) is subjected to the interference of exciting light easily during detection.In addition, background fluorescence and scattered light almost cover the scope (350-600nm) of whole fluorescence emission spectrum, will produce non-specific fluorescence and disturb.Photobleaching and quenching effect also take place in traditional organic fluorescence reagent easily, cause fluorescence intensity to reduce.These deficiencies have limited the further raising of this method sensitivity.
Time resolved fluorescence is a kind of more advanced fluorescence analysis method.Its principle is to adopt the rare earth compound of the longer fluorescence transformation period thing of marking, since the Stokes displacement of this marker big (>150nm) and fluorescence lifetime than high 5~6 orders of magnitude of background material fluorescence lifetime, therefore, as long as delay Measuring Time during mensuration, the signal of measuring marker after the fluorescence for the treatment of the background material is fully decayed again just can be eliminated the interference of various non-specific fluorescences effectively, obtains high sensitivity.Time resolved fluorescence (DELFIA) based on dissolving enhancing principle has obtained using more widely in immunoassay at present.In DEFIA analyzes, after the rare earth inner complex is labeled, need add fluorescence enhancement solution during mensuration dissociates the rare earth ion of mark and discharges, generate the rare earth toughener inner complex that can produce high fluorescent in hydrophobic relatively environment, fluorescence intensity this and the rare earth inner complex that toughener generates has strengthened about 1,000,000 times.The rare earth toughener inner complex that the raising of dissolving enhancing time resolved fluorescence sensitivity for analysis mainly has benefited from high luminous intensity generates.Owing to need to strengthen liquid, this method also is not suitable for solid phase and directly examines and determine, when directly measuring fluorescent signal with the various biomolecules on the rare earth inner complex mark solid phase carrier, fluorescent signal a little less than, sensitivity is not high.Existing time resolved fluorescence technology can not obtain to use in the scope widely.
The nanometer marker is a kind of novel markings thing that development in recent years is got up, because nanoparticle has loaded several fluorescence molecules by modes such as surface adsorption or embeddings, therefore with behind the nanometer particle to mark, fluorescent emission intensity will strengthen greatly, the sensitivity that strong lifting is measured.The existing bibliographical information of this respect has:
The organic high polymer microsphere of doping or surface adsorption, parcel fluorescence molecule.As commercial (BangsLaboratories, Dynal Inc, Molecular Probe etc) polymer microsphere of obtainable various loading dye fluorescence molecules, but most of particle diameter μ m magnitude (>100nm), the thing that serves as a mark is often excessive, assemble in the aqueous solution easily mutually on hydrophobic surface, and there is leakage in the dye molecule of loading.The nanometer of passing through polymerization preparation in the microemulsion of domestic report is to the micron order polystyrene, polyacrylamide, microballoons such as polyacrylic acid (Zhao Yiqiang, high seapeak, Yang Wuli, the mansion longevity is wide, fluorescently-labeled polymer microsphere and preparation method thereof, patent publication No.: CN1278534A, 2002), the surface adsorption of these microballoons or covalent bonding a plurality of FITC, Rhodamine 6G, Cy fluorochrome molecule, owing to be to carry fluorescence molecule at microsphere surface, the easy photobleaching of fluorescence molecule itself and do not overcome by the serious deficiency of solvent molecule cancellation.
The silicon nano of doping or parcel luminescent dye molecule (Nynke A.M.Verhaegh and Alfonsvan Blaaderen, Langmuir 1994,10,1427-1438; Swadeshmukul Santra, Peng Zhang, Kemin Wang, Rovelyn Tapec, and Weihong Tan, Anal Chem, 2001,73,4988-4993; Tan Weihong, Wang Kemin, Xiao Dan, nm-class core-and-shell particles, patent publication No. CN 1342515A, 2002).With luminescent dye molecule Rhodamine, FITC, Ru (bpy)3Deng luminous kernel, form SiO by polymeric method in microemulsion as nanoparticle2The silicon nano of parcel.This nanoparticle tags possess hydrophilic property, surface are modified easily, and compare with fluorescence molecule and to have better optical stability and brightness.Still do not overcome but fluorescence molecule inherent Stokes displacement is little, be subject to various non-specific fluorescence interferential defectives.
The nanoparticle of doping or parcel rare earth compound.As wrap up particle (Jun Feng, Guomin Shan, Angel Maquieira, the Marja E.Koivunen of rare earth oxide or lucium, Bing Guo, Bruce D.Hammock, and Ian M.Kennedy, Anal Chem, 2003,75,5282-5286; Sun Baoquan, clothing light Shun, Chen Depiao, Zhao Shuying, Zhou Yuxiang, Cheng Jing is used for rare-earth nanometer particles, the Preparation Method And The Use of biological material label, publication number CN 1378083A, 2002), since non-solution homogeneous phase preparation, the unicity of this particle, homogeneity, and the dispersiveness in the aqueous solution is still not ideal enough; Particle (Zhiqiang Ye, Mingqian Tan, Guilan Wang, and Jingli Yuan, Anal Chem, 2004,76, the 513-518 of parcel rare earth compounding; Yuan Jingli, Tan Mingqian, Ye Zhiqiang, Wang Guilan, a kind of functional nano rare-earth fluorescent particulate and preparation and application, publication number CN 1493647A, 2004), be the center with luminous strong rare earth compounding, adopt SiO2Be rolled into the nanoparticle thing that serves as a mark, the particle of preparing has stronger fluorescence intensity, can be used for the time resolved fluorescence analysis, but the part of the rare earth compounding that uses does not have commercial source, need to synthesize specially by the multistep organic reaction, the part preparation is complicated, is difficult for obtaining.
The rare-earth fluorescent resonance energy shifts research (P R Selvin and J E Hearst, Proc Natl Acad USA, 1994,91,10024-10028 such as the interaction be mainly used in early days between the molecule, conformational change; P RSelvin, IEEE J Selected Topics in Quantum Elecrtonics, 1996,2,1077-1087).Being used for the detection of biological molecule does not appear in the newspapers as yet.

The SiO that the shell of parcel luminescent rare earth complexes nuclear is formed by the teos hydrolysis by ammonia-catalyzed in the microemulsion2Constitute SiO2Amino or mercapto functional group are contained in the surface, and the nanoparticle size of generation is at 5-100nm.Microemulsion is the anti-phase system of water-in-oil, and oil phase is a hexanaphthene, and tensio-active agent is Triton X-100 or polyoxyethylene nonylphenol ether (OP-10), and cosurfactant is n-hexyl alcohol or n-Octanol, and water is the aqueous solution that contains luminescent rare earth complexes.The generation of nanoparticle surface functional group is by adding silylating reagent such as the 3-aminopropyl methoxy silane that contains active function groups in the hydrolytic polymerization process, 3-aminopropyl Ethoxysilane (APTES), 3-(2 amino-ethyl ammonia) propyl group-methyl dimethoxysilane etc. is finished.Generate on the shell surface-NH2,-SH functional group can covalently bound various probe molecules such as DNA, antibody, vitamin H, enzyme etc. with the biomolecules of identification and detection or spike correspondence.
Preparation method based on the luminous rare-earth nanometer particles of fluorescence energy transfer principle of the present invention is:
The first step with waiting ammonia carboxylic class organic ligand of reacting weight to be dissolved in respectively in the suitable solvent with the sensitization molecule that has reactive functionality, is mixed afterreaction and is generated the organic ligand that combines the sensitization molecule;
In second step, will wait the rare earth ion nitrate of reacting weight or the aqueous solution of hydrochloride to mix the formation rare earth compounding with the above-mentioned organic ligand that has the sensitization molecule;
