    • Multiple copy epitope immunoassays are produced by: (1) identifying nucleotide sequences that encode a plurality of different epitopes; (2) placing the nucleotide sequences into an expression cassette wherein at least two copies of a sequence coding for the same epitope, preferably from different strains of a pathogen, are placed in the cassette; (3) transforming a suitable host with the cassette in order to express the sequences encoding the epitopes; (4) purifying the expressed epitopes; and (5) coating the epitopes on a surface of a substrate. The purified epitopes are encompassed by the general structural formula (A)x-(B)y-(C)z which represents a linear amino acid sequence, B is an amino acid sequence of an epitope or cluster of epitopes and each B contains at least five and not more than 1,000 amino acids, y is an integer of 2 or more, A and C are each independently an amino acid sequence of an epitope or cluster of epitopes not adjacent to B in nature and x and z are each independently an integer of 0 or more wherein at least one of x and z is 1 or more. The epitopes of the invention are more soluble than and are therefore more easily purified than conventional epitopes. Further, the presence of repeating epitope sequences (repeating at least B in the same linear amino acid sequence from different strains of a pathogen) increases the sensitivity and specificity of the assay. Repeated epitope sequences in a single linear antigen also decreases masking problems and makes it possible to include a greater number of epitopes on a unit area of substrate thereby improving sensitivity in the detection of antibodies.
    • 多拷贝表位免疫测定通过以下方式产生:(1)鉴定编码多个不同表位的核苷酸序列; (2)将核苷酸序列置于表达盒中,其中编码相同表位,优选来自病原体的不同菌株的序列的至少两个拷贝被放置在盒中; (3)用盒子转化合适的宿主以表达编码表位的序列; (4)纯化表达的表位; 和(5)在基底表面上涂覆表位。 纯化的表位被代表线性氨基酸序列的一般结构式(A)x-(B)y-(C)z所涵盖,B是表位或表位簇的氨基酸序列,每个B含有 至少5个且不超过1,000个氨基酸,y是2或更大的整数,A和C各自独立地是本质上不与B相邻的表位的表位或簇的氨基酸序列,x和z各自独立地为 0或更大的整数,其中x和z中的至少一个为1或更大。 本发明的表位比常规表位更可溶,因此更容易纯化。 此外,重复表位序列的存在(在来自不同病原体的菌株的同一线性氨基酸序列中至少重复B)增加了测定的灵敏度和特异性。 单一线性抗原中的重复表位序列也减少掩蔽问题,并且可以在底物的单位面积上包含更多数目的表位,从而提高抗体检测的灵敏度。
