Figure Lengend Snippet: PALS is a good surrogate for ELISA-based protein quantitation. ( A ) LNP particle characteristics including size, polydispersity index (PDI) and encapsulating efficiency. Values are mean ± SD, n = 5. ( B ) Quantitation of bhEPO amounts in mouse serum 6 h after LNP administration in vivo . Values are mean ± SD, n = 5. ( C ) quantitation of bhEPO using barcodes after single LNP administration and using PALS. No difference in ranking of LNPS based on barcode amounts between both methods (Wilcoxon matched pairs signed rank test, P = 0.0625). ( D ) Correlation between EPO protein quantification by ELISA and by mass spectrometry using one representative EPO peptide. ( E ) comparison of protein quantitation using ELISA and PALS. No difference in normalized mean between both methods (paired t -test) and no difference in ranking of LNPs using both methods (Wilcoxon matched-pairs signed rank test, P = 0.3750). ( F ) correlation of protein quantitation by ELISA and PALS using the peptide barcodes.
Article Snippet: Purified EPO protein was quantified by ELISA (DEP00, R&D Systems, UK) and trypsin digested using an in-solution tryptic digestion kit (89895, ThermoFisher Scientific, UK) following the manufacturer's instructions.
