Identifier rapidement des microorganismes pathogènes dans des échantillons environnementaux est un enjeu majeur dans le domaine de la biodéfense. Dans ce contexte, la spectrométrie de masse MALDI-TOF peut offrir une réponse simple, rapide et peu coûteuse. L'enjeu de la thèse, dans le cadre du projet ANR franco-allemand GEFREASE, a été de développer des méthodes permettant l'identification des microorganismes pathogènes et notamment de mettre en place des approches ciblées pour la préparation d'échantillon à l'aide d'anticorps en amont de la spectrométrie de masse. Dans un premier temps, l'étude du protéome de la bactérie modèle, Francisella tularensis subsp. holarctica LVS, responsable de la tularémie, a permis d'identifier les protéines et les peptides les plus abondants donnant un signal intense par spectrométrie de masse. Ensuite l'étude protéogénomique de douze protéines cibles a permis de choisir trois biomarqueurs dont le profil des masses par spectrométrie de masse de type MALDI-TOF (approche top-down) est spécifique de l'espèce et de la sous-espèce des bactéries du genre Francisella. Par cette méthode la virulence d'une souche est donc rapidement déterminée puisqu'elle est dépendante de la sous-espèce à laquelle la bactérie appartient. Ce test mis au point présente l'avantage d'être simple et rapide. Dans un deuxième temps, la mise au point d'un protocole d'enrichissement de la bactérie modèle par immunocapture magnétique a permis de montrer qu'il est possible de concentrer des bactéries grâce à des billes magnétiques couplées à des anticorps dirigés contre la bactérie entière. Cette approche a été expérimentée dans le cas de mélanges de bactéries où la bactérie modèle était largement minoritaire et dans des échantillons de matrices alimentaires diverses telles que de l'eau minérale ou du lait. La méthodologie a été validée sur un agent de classe 3, Francisella tularensis subsp. tularensis. / The rapid identification of pathogenic microorganisms in environmental samples is a major issue in the biodefense field. MALDI-TOF mass spectrometry can offer a fast, straightforward and inexpensive answer. In the framework of the Franco-German ANR project GEFREASE, the purpose of the thesis was to develop methodologies allowing identification of pathogenic microorganisms and particularly to set up targeted approaches using antibodies for sample preparation beforehand mass spectrometry. First of all, the proteome study of Francisella tularensis subsp. holarctica LVS, responsible for tularemia, allowed us to identify the most abundant proteins and peptides, and for which the most intense signals are observed when using mass spectrometry. The proteogenomic study of twelve of these proteins enable us to choose three biomarkers for which the masses monitored by MALDI-TOF mass spectrometry (top down approach) allow deciphering the Francisella species and subspecies. The interest of this work is being able to conclude on a strain virulence based on the knowledge of the subspecies it belongs. The finalized test is easy and fast. Secondly, the development of a magnetic immunocapture of Francisella tularensis subsp. holarctica LVS allowed us to show that it is possible to concentrate bacteria using magnetic beads coupled to antibodies raised against the entire bacterium. This approach has been experimented in the case of bacterial mixtures where the model bacterium was largely in minority and for samples containing various food matrices such as mineral water or milk. The methodology has been validated on a class 3 agent, Francisella tularensis subsp. tularensis.

L’objectif de mon doctorat, réalisé dans le cadre d’une collaboration entre le laboratoire des protéines et nanotechnologies en sciences séparatives (institut Galien Paris-Sud) et le groupe Micro et Nano Système (institut d’électronique fondamentale) était d’étudier l’influence des monocouches autoassemblées, sur l’activité biologique du bio-récepteur dans une perspective de développement de biocapteur. Dans ce projet, nous avons choisi les organo-silanes qui peuvent se lier de manière covalente sur le silicium. Deux silanes (7-octenyl trichlorosilanes et le (3-aminopropyl)triethoxysilane) ont été étudiés, leur impact en terme de nature et de stabilité sur la fonctionnalité du bio-récepteur, des immunoglobulines G de souris, ont été évalué. Dans un premier temps, nous nous sommes intéressés à la fonctionnalité des anticorps greffés sur une mono couche auto-assemblée composée de 7-octenyltrichlorosilane (OTS) présentant à sa surface un groupement carboxylique. Une caractérisation spectroscopique par XPS et infra-rouge à transformé de Fourrier (FTIR) a tout d’abord été effectuée afin de vérifier la présence de ces groupements carboxyliques. L’homogénéité de la surface a été évaluée par AFM. Nous avons ensuite immobilisé ces anticorps, sur ces supports, de manière covalente et une étude topographique par AFM a été menée pour mesurer la répartition de ces anticorps. L’orientation des anticorps greffés a été évaluée à l’aide d’immuno-essais. Ensuite, nous avons comparé l’APTES, permettant l’obtention de plaques de silicium fonctionnalisé avec des groupements aminés à leur surface, avec l’OTS. Nous avons notamment comparé la capacité de capture des anticorps immobilisés sur ces deux types de silanes. Dans la dernière partie, l’impact du vieillissement d’un support immunologique préparé chimiquement en utilisant l’APTES a été évaluée sur le plan physico-chimique et biologique. / The aim of my PhD thesis, conducted as part of a collaboration between the laboratory of protein separation sciences and nanotechnology (Paris-Sud Galen Institute) and the Micro and Nano System (basic electronics institute) group was to study the influence of self-assembled monolayers on the biological activity of bioreceptor toward biosensor development. In this project, we choose the organosilanes that can bind covalently to the silicon. Two silanes (7-octenyl trichlorosilane(OTS) and 3- aminopropyltriethoxysilane (APTES)) were studied., Their impact on the stability and the functionality of bio- receptor , model mouse immunoglobulin G (IgG), were evaluated. Spectroscopic characterization by XPS and infra- red Fourier transformed (FTIR) was first carried out to assess that the silanized surface exhibit carboxylic groups. The homogeneity of the surfaces was measured by AFM. Then, IgG were immobilized on these supports, covalently and a topographic AFM study was conducted to measure the distribution of these antibodies. The orientation of the grafted antibody was investigated by immune-enzymatic assays. We have also evaluated the binding capacity of the IgG immobilized on both surfaces. Then, the impact of aging on APTES surface was evaluated by spectroscopics and biological methods.

O presente trabalho teve como objetivo desenvolver e otimizar a técnica de IC-RT-PCR para o diagnóstico do vírus da Influenza aviária. Os resultados obtidos foram comparados com um sistema empregando "beads" magnéticas em microplacas (AMBION), que é o método padrão de extração de RNA usado no laboratório de referência para diagnóstico de influenza aviária, o National Veterinary Services Laboratory - Ames, EUA (USDA), acrescido ainda de outros métodos de extração tradicionalmente usados nos laboratórios de referência para AIV, como os procedimentos com o uso do solvente orgânico Trizol® (Invitrogen) e com um sistema robotizado e que utiliza "beads" magnéticas (MagNA Pure - ROCHE). A técnica de IC-RT-PCR em tempo real neste estudo detectou a estirpe H2N2 do AIV, sem que nenhum outro dos RNA-vírus heterólogos testados fossem detectados (vírus das doença de Gumboro, de Newcastle e da bronquite infecciosa aviária). Os limites de detecção do IC-RTPCR foram iguais aos obtidos na técnica de extração com o kit da AMBION e menores do que aqueles que foram observados para os métodos de extração com Trizol® (Invitrogen) e com o MagNA Pure. O IC-RT-PCR demonstrou ser um sistema de diagnóstico capaz de conciliar simplicidade operacional e um menor custo com sensibilidade e especificidade analíticas iguais às do procedimento padrão atualmente adotado, podendo ser inclusive por laboratórios dotados de uma infra-estrutura mais simples / Abstract: The polymerase chain reaction (PCR) and reverse transcription-PCR (RT-PCR), including real-time RT-PCR have been used for the rapid detection of Matrix glycoprotein gene (M gene) Avian influenza virus (AIV). Despite the availability of various RNA extraction methods for using in RT-PCR, isolation and detection of viral RNA are still difficult due to the unstable nature of viral RNA molecules and the presence of PCR inhibitory substances. In this study, a simple method using immune-capture (IC) to recover viral RNA from H2 AIV samples was developed and compared to one standard and two others reference methods used for viral RNA extraction, such as Ambion MagMAXTM kit and Trizol® (Invitrogen) and Magnapure kit (Roche), respectively, with subsequent analysis by real-time RT-PCR. The real-time IC-RT-PCR developed in was able to detect specifically H2N2 AIV strain, without detecting non-related avian RNA-virus pathogens, such as Newcastle disease virus, avian infectious bronchitis virus and Gumboro disease virus. Comparable detection limits were found for IC and the standard RNA extraction method using Ambion MagMAXTM kit, either for the detection of AIV in allantoic fluid suspension or in seeded tracheal and cloacal swab samples by conventional or real time RT-PCR techniques. These methods were less sensitive than Trizol® (Invitrogen) and Magnapure kit (Roche) procedures. Thus, IC was rapid and as sensitive and specific as current standard AIV RNA extraction method for real time or conventional RT-PCR, besides it conciliated simplicity and lower cost and can be applied simultaneously for direct detection of AIV in a large number of samples, including less-equipped laboratories / Mestre

Todas as 11 estirpes do VBI testadas foram amplificadas pelas duas técnicas moleculares, enquanto que nenhum dos vírus heterólogos (Pneumovírus Aviário do grupo A e B, Vírus da Doença de Gumboro e o Vírus da Doença de Newcastle) ensaiados levaram a amplificação específica do gene 81. O limiar de detecção para a técnica de IC-RT-PCR foi idêntico ao do método de RT-PCR e correspondeu a 102.8 Doses Infectantes Embrionárias 50%. Para um total de 35 amostras de tecidos do trato respiratório testadas e provenientes de aves infectadas experimentalmente, 32 foram positivas pela técnica de IC-RT-PCR e também pela RT-PCR convencional, enquanto que o isolamento viral foi obtido para 22 dessas amostras. A análise do produto amplificado do gene 81 na IC-RT-PCR através da técnica de RFLP (restriction fragment length polymorphism), com as enzimas Alul e Mboll, permitiu a diferenciação das 5 estirpes de referências e dos 6 isolados de campo analisados em 4 diferentes genótipos, correspondentes às estirpes de referência M41, Connecticut, ou 8E-17, ou a um isolado de campo.

The results of this technique were compared with those obtained in conventional RT-PCR. Ali eleven IBV strains tested were amplified, while none of the heterologous avian viral pathogens (Groups A and B Avian Pneumovirus, Newcastle Disease Virus and Gumboro Disease Vírus) gave positive results. The limit of detection for IC-RT¬PCR was identical to the common RT-PCR and corresponded to 102.8 50% embryonic infectious doses. Thirty two out of thirty five respiratory tissue samples collected from experimentally infected chickens were positive by both molecular techniques (IC-RT-PCR I common RT-PCR), whereas the vírus isolation test detected IBV in twenty two of these samples. The AluL and Mobll RFLP analysis of the 228 bp amplicon generated from IC-RT-PCR led to the discrimination of the 5 reference strains and 6 field IBV isolates in four genotypes; which were associated to the M41, to Connecticut, ar to 8E-17 strain, or to a field isolate. Therefore, the IC-RT-PCR demonstrated in this study a high potential for the application in the direct diagnosis of IBV and has relevant advantages over the conventional RT¬PCR, because it combines the specificity of the immunocapture in a solid phase with the sensitivity of the PCR, providing simplicity, rapidity and low cost for the manipulation of a high number of samples.
