[0110] {circle around (5)} 14.500 g of disodium hydrogen phosphate dodecahydrate, 43.875 g of sodium chloride, and 1.495 g of sodium dihydrogen phosphate dehydrate were weighed and dissolved with double distilled water and diluted to 5.0 L to obtain a phosphate buffer solution (PBS) with the pH being 7.2˜7.4.
[0111] {circle around (6)} 25 g of Na.sub.2CO.sub.3 solid powder was dissolved in purified water and diluted to 5 L, adjusted pH to 12.00±0.01 with 2N NaOH aqueous solution to prepare alkaline dialysate.
[0112] {circle around (7)} 0.16 g of bovine serum albumin was weighed and dissolved in 21 ml of PBS in step {circle around (5)} to obtain a bovine serum albumin solution with a concentration of 20 mg/ml.
[0113] {circle around (8)} Under rapid stirring, the supernatant of step {circle around (4)} was slowly dropped into the bovine serum albumin solution of the previous step. The volume ratio of the supernatant to the bovine serum albumin solution was 1:5, and the resulting mixture was left to stand overnight at 4° C. to obtain an artificial antigen mixture.
[0114] {circle around (9)} The artificial antigen mixture from the previous step was transferred to the dialysis bag, dialyzed with the alkaline dialysis solution of step {circle around (6)} for two days, once a day, and then the dialysis bag was transferred to the PBS buffer obtained in {circle around (5)} for 7 times of dialyses , every two time intervals were not less than two hours. After the dialyses was completed, the supernatant was centrifuged to obtain the artificial antigen X.
TEST EXAMPLE 1: PERFORMANCE DETERMINATION OF PREGABALIN ARTIFICIAL ANTIGENS II, IV, VI, VIII, X
(1) Identification of Pregabalin Artificial Antigen
[0115] Determination of molar absorption coefficient ε: pregabalin artificial hapten solutions with concentrations of 0 μg/ml, 5 μg/ml, 10 μg/ml, 20 μg/ml, 30 μg/ml, and 40 μg/ml were prepared with the PBS of step {circle around (5)}. The scan chart showed that the maximum absorption wavelength of the pregabalin hapten was 270 nm, and the absorbance values were measured at 270 nm, and each concentration was made in parallel. The formula for calculating the molar absorption coefficient (that is, the molar absorption coefficient) is: ε=absorbance/molar concentration.
[0116] Determination of conjugate protein concentration: 1 ml of bovine serum protein solution at concentrations of 0 μg/ml, 10 μg/ml, 20 μg/ml, 30 μg/ml, 40 μg/ml, 60 μg/ml, 80 μg/ml, 100 μg/ml, 120 μg/ml were prepared with PBS, 3 ml Coomassie Brilliant Blue staining solution was added, mixed immediately, heated in a water bath at 30° C. for 5 minutes; parallel samples for each concentration was made, the absorbance values were measured at 655 nm, and the relationship curve between the protein concentration and the absorbance was drawn. The artificial antigen solution (prepared with PBS) were diluted in a certain proportion, the absorbance values of the artificial antigen were measured at 655 nm, and the corresponding protein concentration values of the artificial antigen solution from the curve were read.
[0117] Coupling ratio determination: 100 μg/ml bovine serum albumin in PBS was prepared, the conjugate (ie pregabalin artificial antigen) was diluted with PBS to 100 μg/ml, the absorbance value A1 was measured at 292 nm; PBS was used as the blank solution, and the absorbance value A2 was measured; the coupling ratio γ is: γ=[(A1−A2)/ε]/(100×10−3/65000).
[0118] Wherein ε is the molar absorption coefficient (L/mol), 65000 is the molecular weight of bovine serum albumin, and 100×10−3 is the concentration of bovine serum albumin (μg/ml).
[0119] When using bovine gamma globulin as a carrier, the coupling ratio is calculated as: γ=[(A1−A2)/ε]/(100×10−3/150000); among them, 150,000 is the molecular weight of bovine gamma globulin.
TABLE-US-00001 TABLE 1 Coupling ratio and molar absorption coefficient of each pregabalin artificial antigen Arti- Cou- Conjugate Molar ficial pling protein absorption Number antigen ratio concentration coefficient Embodiment 1 II 21 11.32 mg/ml 5134.25 Comparative Example 1 IV 17 12.60 mg/ml 5328.46 Comparative Example 2 VI 20 15.35 mg/ml 4678.23 Comparative Example 3 VIII 19 2.95 mg/ml 4721.16 Comparative Example 4 X 26 3.17 mg/ml 5812.44
[0120] It can be seen from TABLE 1 that the structure of the artificial hapten has a great influence on the binding ratio when the artificial hapten is coupled to the carrier protein.
(2) Animal Immunity
[0121] Pregabalin artificial antigens II, IV, VI, VIII, X were immunized with New Zealand white rabbits, and the obtained immune serum were tested for their titers by ELISA method. The test results were shown in TABLE 2.
TABLE-US-00002 TABLE 2 Titer test results of each immune serum Pregabalin artificial Titer of□immune Number antigen serum Embodiment 1 II 90000 Comparative Example 1 IV 20000 Comparative Example 2 VI 30000 Comparative Example 3 VIII 76000 Comparative Example 4 X 50000
[0122] It can be seen from TABLE 2 that compared with Embodiment 1 and Comparative Example 3, the titers of the immune serum obtained by using the pregabalin artificial antigen of each Comparative Example for animal immunization are all low and cannot be used in immunoassays. The immune serum obtained by using artificial antigens of pregabalin II and VIII for animal immunization has titers of 1:90000 and 76,000, respectively, which can be used in immunoassays and can provide a more convenient, rapid and accurate way for the detection of pregabalin.
[0123] Regarding Embodiment 1 and Comparative Example 3, it is still necessary to further explore whether different carrier proteins and different coupling methods can improve the performance of the antigen. Therefore, Comparative Example 5 to Comparative Example 10 were implemented.

TEST EXAMPLE 2: PERFORMANCE DETERMINATION OF PREGABALIN ARTIFICIAL ANTIGENS XI, XII, XIII, XIV, XV, XVI
[0146] (1) According to the method of Test example 1, the coupling ratios and concentrations of pregabalin artificial antigens XI, XII, XIII, XIV, XV, XVI were measured. See TABLE 3.
TABLE-US-00003 TABLE 3 Coupling ratio and concentration of each pregabalin artificial antigen Arti- Cou- Conjugate Molar ficial pling protein absorption Number antigen ratio concentration coefficient Embodiment 1 II 21 11.32 mg/ml 5134.25 Comparative Example 5 XI 19 14.18 mg/ml 5134.25 Comparative Example 6 XII 27 12.67 mg/ml 5134.25 Comparative Example 7 XIII 12 10.17 mg/ml 5134.25 Comparative Example 8 VIII 19 2.95 mg/ml 4721.16 Comparative Example 9 XIV 29 2.16 mg/ml 4721.16 Comparative Example 10 XV 27 3.38 mg/ml 4721.16 Comparative Example 11 XVI 21 3.07 mg/ml 4721.16
[0147] (2) Animal Immunity
[0148] Pregabalin artificial antigens XI, XII, XIII, XIV, XV, XVI were immunized with New Zealand white rabbits, and the obtained immune serum were tested for their titers by ELISA method. The test results were shown in TABLE 4.
TABLE-US-00004 TABLE 4 Titer test results of each immune serum Pregabalin artificial Titer of immune Number antigen serum Embodiment 1 II 90000 Comparative Example 5 XI 70000 Comparative Example 6 XII 45000 Comparative Example 7 XIII 55000 Comparative Example 8 VIII 76000 Comparative Example 9 XIV 65000 Comparative Example 10 XV 60000 Comparative Example 11 XVI 30000
[0149] It can be seen from TABLE 4 that the artificial antigen II obtained in Embodiment 1 had the highest titer of the immune serum obtained from animal immunization, and was better than the titer of the immune serum corresponding to the artificial antigen VIII. And the polyclonal antibody obtained by combining with the artificial antigen II can achieve better results and can be better used for immunoassays. It can provide a more convenient and rapid way for the detection of pregabalin.
