초록

목적: 폐구균의 혈청형 분석은 백신의 효능을 평가하고 감시하는데 매우 중요하다. 그러나 폐구균의 혈청형 분석이 힘들기 때문에 최근 라텍스 구슬과 흐름세포측정기를 이용한 다중구슬 혈청형 분석법이 소개되었다. 이 연구에서는 새로운 혈청형 분석법을 이화백신연구센터에서 구축하고 실제 임상 검체들에 적용해보았다. 방법: 라텍스 구슬 3종과 폐구균 피막다당 특이 단클론항체 1가지, 시동체 2종을 Univerisity of Alabama at Birmingham에서 제공 받았다. 이 시료들을 이용하여 단클론항체와 wzy 다중 PCR을 이용한 다중구슬 혈청형 분석법을 확립하였다. 그리고 75개의 혈청형이 알려져 있는 검체를 이용하여 이화백신효능연구센터에 확립된 다중구슬 혈청형 분석법의 정확도를 보았고 이를 토대로 528개의 임상 검체를 분석해 보았다. 결과: 다중구슬 혈청형 분석법은 이화백신효능연구센터에 안정적으로 확립되었다. 75종의 이미 혈청형이 알려져 있는 검체를 암호화하여 분석한 결과 전부 일치하여 정확도가 높음을 보여 주었고 실제 임상 검체에도 적용한 결과 94.3% (498/528)에서 혈청형을 확인할 수 있었다. 결론: 다중구슬 분석법은 다수의 혈청형을 쉽고 빠르게 한번에 많은 수의 검체를 확인할 수 있는 객관적인 검사 방법으로 향후 임상적 진단과 역학연구 등의 폐구균의 혈청형 분석에 유용하게 사용될 수 있을 것이다.

Purpose: Serotyping pneumococcal isolates is important to monitor efficacy of pneumococcal vaccines. Because of difficulties of typing pnueumocci, a multiplex bead-based (multibead) serotyping assay was recently introduced. The aim of this study is to establish a new multibead serotyping assay and to apply this method to analyze clinical isolates of pneumococci in Korea. Methods: To establish the multibead serotyping assay, six key reagents were transferred from University of Alabama at Birmingham (UAB) to Ewha Center for Vaccine Evaluation and Study (ECVES): bead set coated with polysaccharide and monoclonal antibody pool were used in one multiplex inhibition-type immunoassay and 2 bead sets coated DNA probe and 2 primer pools were used in two multiplex PCR-based assays. After multibead serotyping assay was set up, 75 test samples of pneumococci were analyzed whether ECVES is able to identify serotype correctly. After confirming the performance, serotyping assay was applied to identify serotypes of 528 clinical isolates of pneumococci collected from 3 different hospitals. Results: After establishment of the multibead pneumococcal serotyping assay system at ECVES, 75 test samples were analyzed. There was no discrepancy of serotypes of 75 test samples between the results assigned at UAB and those at ECVES. The serotypes of 528 pneumococci isolated from patients or healthy subjects were determined in 94.3% of isolates (498/528). Conclusions: The multibead pneumococcal serotyping assay can be successfully established in Korea. With this method, surveillance of serotypes of pneumococci isolated from patients as well as healthy subjects could be studied.
