Figure Lengend Snippet: In the PHF → Ab dosing paradigm, 1D9 IgG1 and IgG2A are the most efficacious subclasses in preventing PHF-induced toxicity and seeding. All 2B8 IgG subclasses are toxic . Mixed JNPL3 cultures were incubated with 10 μg/ml PHF followed 24 h later by 10 µg/ml IgG subclasses (n = at least 6 replicates per condition). Cells were collected 96 h after the antibody application. a. In the 1D9 group, PHF alone increased LDH levels and 1D9 IgG2B had no effect on PHF toxicity (177 and 208 % of control values, p = 0.02 and 0.0008, overall p = 0.0002, one-way ANOVA). In contrast, 1D9 IgG1 prevented PHF toxicity (108% of control, p = 0.05). b. In the 2B8 group, there was an overall treatment effect (p < 0.0001, one-way ANOVA). 2B8 IgG1, IgG2A and IgG2B samples had increased LDH relative to untreated samples (187, 214, and 248% of control values, p = 0.009, = 0.0002, and < 0.0001), and IgG2A and IgG2B treated cells were also elevated compared to PHF alone (p = 0.05, 0.0004). c. Immunoblots showing NeuN levels in the control and treated JNPL3 cultures. d. In the 1D9 group, PHF alone decreased NeuN (43% of control, p < 0.0001, overall p < 0.0001, one-way ANOVA). 1D9 IgG1, IgG2A, and IgG2B prevented this toxicity (NeuN levels 86, 100, and 65% of control values, p < 0.0001, < 0.0001, and 0.04 respectively). e. In the 2B8 group, PHF alone was toxic as measured by NeuN levels (62% of control, p < 0.0001, overall p < 0.0001, one-way ANOVA). None of the 2B8 IgG subtypes prevented the PHF-induced toxicity and had reduced NeuN levels relative to untreated control cells (55, 77, 42, and 34% of control values, P < 0.0001, 0.04, < 0.0001, < 0.0001). f. Immunoblots from the same JNPL3 cell lysate used in the toxicity experiments were probed for total tau. g. In the 1D9 group, PHF alone increased intracellular tau relative to untreated control (ratio tau/NeuN 1.96, p < 0.0001, overall p < 0.0001, one-way ANOVA). 1D9 IgG1, IgG2A and IgG2B prevented tau seeding (ratio tau/NeuN 1.05, 0.97, 1.39, p < 0.0001 compared to PHF alone for all). h. In the 2B8 group, PHF alone increased total tau in the cells (ratio tau/NeuN 1.47, p = 0.016, overall p = 0.0003, one-way ANOVA). Cells treated with 2B8 IgG1, IgG2B and IgG3 also had higher total tau relative to untreated control (ratio tau/NeuN 1.55, 1.68 and 1.61, p = 0.013, 0.0015, and 0.013), and none of the antibodies prevented the PHF-induced tau seeding. i. The same samples were used in immunoblotting to measure tau phosphorylated at Ser199. j. In the 1D9 group, PHF increased intracellular phospho-tau (pSer199/NeuN ratio 2.76, p < 0.0001, overall p < 0.0001, one-way ANOVA). 1D9 IgG1, IgG2A and IgG2B prevented this increase (ratio pSer199/NeuN 1.31, 1.03, and 1.86, p < 0.0001, < 0.0001, 0.03). k. In the 2B8 group, PHF alone increased phospho-tau seeding (ratio pSer199/NeuN 1.93, p = 0.001, overall p < 0.0001, one-way ANOVA). Cells treated with 2B8 IgG1, IgG2A and IgG3 also had an increase in pSer199 relative to the untreated controls (ratio pSer199/NeuN 1.83, 2.11, 2.76, p = 0.013, 0.0005, < 0.0001), with none of the subtypes resulting in different pSer199 levels relative to PHF alone.

Figure Lengend Snippet: 1D9 and 2B8 IgG subclasses bind recombinant-, phosphorylated-, and PHF-tau in solution phase BLI assay . Whole IgG subclasses (Fc-(sdAb) 2 ) were loaded onto Anti-Mouse IgG Fc Capture (AMC) biosensors. K D values were determined using increasing concentration of recombinant- (rec-tau), phosphorylated- (p-tau), and PHF-tau. The IgG subclasses displayed an apparent increased affinity for tau relative to their sdAbs. This results from increased avidity because of bivalent target engagement. a-c. 1D9 IgG1, IgG2A, and IgG2B had 9.6, 7.8-, and 3.9-fold stronger avidity for rec-tau compared to 1D9 sdAb (K D = 4.2 nM, 5.1 nM, and 10.3 nM, respectively). d-f. 2B8 IgG1, IgG2A, and IgG2B had 4.7-, 4.2- and 5.8-fold higher avidity than the sdAb for rec-tau (K D = 3.0 nM, 3.4 nM, and 2.5 nM, respectively). g-i. For p-tau, whole 1D9 IgGs had 3 – 3.6 fold higher avidity relative to their sdAb (K D = 9.1 nM, 11.0 nM, and 10.0 nM for IgG1, IgG2A, and IgG2B, respectively). j-l. The effect of bivalent engagement was also seen with 2B8 in assays with p-tau as IgG1 (8.3 nM), IgG2A (6.8 nM), and IgG2B (11.2 nM) had 4.0-, 4.8-, and 2.9-fold stronger avidity compared to the 2B8 sdAb. m-o. When tested against human derived PHF, 1D9 IgG1, IgG2A, and IgG2B exhibited 2.8-, 3.0-, and 1.9-fold stronger avidity compared to 1D9 sdAb (K D = 8.9 nM, 8.4 nM, and 13.5 nM, respectively). p-r. K D values for 2B8 IgG subclasses were also higher for PHF than their sdAb (14.2 nM, 69.6 nM, and 51.0 nM, for IgG1, IgG2A and IgG2B, respectively). * Due to low Fc binding IgG3 subtypes did not yield results in these tests.

Figure Lengend Snippet: 1D9 and 2B8 IgG subclasses bind recombinant tau in solid phase BLI assay; 1D9 IgG2B has highest affinity of the subclasses for tau in solid phase ELISA. Only the IgG3 subclass of 1D9 does not bind to PHF-tau in solution. a-h. In the BLI experiments, biosensors were loaded with biotinylated recombinant tau (rec-tau). Association and dissociation of increasing concentrations of whole IgG subtypes were measured and K D values determined. Interestingly, there was no major increase if any in avidity over the unmodified 1D9 and 2B8 sdAbs despite the presence of two binding sites on the whole IgG. a-d. 1D9 subtypes IgG1, IgG2A, IgG2B, and IgG3 had similar K D values (26.0 nM, 39.1 nM, 33.1 nM, and 55.5 nM) that were comparable to 1D9 sdAb (K D = 50.8 nM, see j). e-h. 2B8 subtypes also had similar K D values (37.0 nM, 47.3 nM, 51.9 nM, and 53.3 nM for 2B8 IgG1, IgG2A, IgG2B, and IgG3) that were comparable to 2B8 sdAb (K D = 49.3 nM, see k). i-l. For the standard ELISA, plates were coated with solubilized PHF, sarkosyl insoluble, and sarkosyl soluble tau fractions (1 μg per well). Plates were blocked and then incubated for 3 h with serial dilutions of each 1D9 subtype. i. IgG2B had significantly higher binding than the other subclasses to PHF-tau from 1/40 through 1/25000 (p values from 0.03 to < 0.0001, two-way ANOVA). j. For sarkosyl insoluble tau, 1D9 IgG2B binding was significantly higher than the other subtypes from dilutions 1/40 through 1/5000 (p from 0.03 to < 0.0001, two-way ANOVA). k. On plates coated with sarkosyl soluble tau, 1D9 IgG2B had significantly higher binding at 1/40 (p < 0.0001 for all, two-way ANOVA) and at 1/200 (p = 0.0004 to < 0.0001 for all) and at 1/1000 (p = 0.013 and 0.004 relative to IgG2A and IgG3). l. For the competitive ELISA, plates were coated with solubilized PHF-tau and a single concentration of each of the 1D9 IgG subclass was pre-incubated with increasing concentrations of PHF-tau before adding it to the wells. 1D9 IgG1 had decreased binding to the plate at the two highest PHF concentrations (p = 0.03, < 0.0001, two-way ANOVA) compared to the no PHF control. Plate binding was significantly reduced for 1D9 IgG2A at the three highest PHF pre-incubation concentrations (p = 0.013, 0.004, 0.0014). IgG2B had decreased binding at the two highest PHF concentrations as well (p = 0.03, 0.012). There was no change with IgG3, indicating that it did not bind to PHF-tau in solution.

Figure Lengend Snippet: In the PHF + Ab paradigm, 1D9 IgG1 and IgG2A are the most efficacious subclasses in preventing PHF-induced toxicity and tau seeding, whereas all 2B8 IgG subclasses are toxic or ineffective . Mixed neuron/glia cultures prepared from JNPL3 pups were exposed to 10 µg/ml PHF and 10 μg/ml tau sdAb IgG subclasses added simultaneously (PHF + Ab, n = at least 6 replicates per condition). Cells were collected 96 h following treatment. a. For the 1D9 co-incubation samples, the PHF alone increased LDH levels in culture media (137% of control, p = 0.05, overall p = 0.006, one-way ANOVA). 1D9 IgG1, IgG2A and IgG2B prevented this increase but not 1D9 IgG3 (154% of control, p = 0.01). b. In the co-incubation condition, 2B8 IgG2A, IgG2B and IgG3 had higher LDH levels in the media compared to untreated samples, with IgG2B and IgG3 also significantly higher relative to PHF alone (279, 390, and 293% of control values, p = 0.001, 0.0001, and 0.0011 vs untreated control, p < 0.0001, and 0.04 vs PHF, overall p < 0.0001, one-way ANOVA). c. Immunoblots showing JNPL3 cell lysates probed for NeuN from samples treated with PHF and the IgG sdAb subclasses. d. In the 1D9 group, PHF alone decreased NeuN in cells (56% of control, p < 0.0001, overall p < 0.0001, one-way ANOVA). 1D9 IgG1 and IgG2A prevented PHF-induced toxicity (115 and 112% of control values, p < 0.0001 for both), while IgG2B and 3 did not. e. In the 2B8 group, PHF alone decreased NeuN (50% of control, p < 0.0001, overall p < 0.0001, one-way ANOVA). None of the 2B8 IgG subtypes prevented the PHF-induced toxicity (38, 25, 17, 25 % of control, p < 0.0001 for all). The 2B8 IgG2A, IgG2B, and IgG3 treated samples were also reduced compared to PHF alone (p = 0.03, 0.001, and 0.05). f. Tau immunoblots of the JNPL3 lysate from the same cultures used in the LDH and NeuN quantification. Tau values in g, h, j and k were normalized using NeuN to account for cell loss or retraction. g. In the 1D9 group, PHF alone increased intracellular tau (ratio tau/NeuN 1.94-fold over control, p = 0.0004, overall p < 0.0001, one-way ANOVA). 1D9 IgG1 and IgG2A prevented tau seeding resulting in lower intracellular tau levels relative to PHF alone (ratio tau/NeuN 0.87 and 0.75, p = 0.0016 and 0.0003) while IgG2B and IgG3 had no effect. h. In the 2B8 group, PHF alone increased intracellular tau (tau/NeuN ratio 1.91, p = 0.017, overall p = 0.0002, one-way ANOVA), and none of the 2B8 IgG subclasses prevented tau seeding. 2B8 IgG3 resulted in higher tau levels than in both untreated control and PHF alone cells (ratio tau/NeuN 3.81, p < 0.0001 and = 0.0093 respectively). i. The same JNPL3 lysate was also immunoblotted for tau phosphorylated at Ser199. j. In the 1D9 group, PHF increased intracellular phospho-tau relative to untreated control (ratio pSer199/NeuN 2.28, p = 0.0003, overall p < 0.0001, one-way ANOVA). Both 1D9 IgG1 and IgG2A prevented pathological tau seeding (ratio pSer199/NeuN ratio 0.84 and 0.86, p = 0.0012 and 0.0015). k. In the 2B8 group, IgG2A, IgG2B and IgG3 treated samples all contained higher levels of pSer199 tau than either untreated controls or cells exposed to PHF alone (ratio pSer199/NeuN 4.26, 4.57, and 4.50, p = 0.0005, 0.0001, and 0.0006 relative to untreated samples, p = 0.047, 0.013, and 0.040 relative to PHF alone, overall p < 0.0001, one-way ANOVA).

Figure Lengend Snippet: 1D9 IgG3 has lower neuronal and microglial uptake relative to other IgG subclasses . Each 1D9 IgG subtype was labeled with CypHer5, a pH sensitive dye that fluoresces in acidic compartments such as the endosomal/lysosomal system. a. Mixed cortical JNPL3 cultures were incubated with 5 µg/ml of the labeled antibodies for one h without addition of exogenous PHF, after which live images were collected from each well (scale = 30 µm). b. The total number of pixels in each image (n = 18 images per group) that contained the antibody signal was determined, and 1D9 IgG3 showed significantly lower uptake compared to all three other subtypes (p < 0.0001 for all, overall p < 0.0001, one-way ANOVA). c. An additional group of cells was fixed and then stained with a total tau antibody to visualize neurons (scale = 20 µm). d. All 1D9 IgG subtypes showed a similar high degree of colocalization between the antibody and neurons (IgG1 75%, IgG2A 62%, IgG2B 65%, and IgG3 71%, n = 20 images per group), indicating that in the absence of exogenous tau, most antibody uptake is neuronal. e. CypHer 5 labeled 1D9 IgG subtypes (5 µg/ml) and human derived PHF-tau (1 μg/ml) were added to mixed neuron/glia cultures at the same time. Cultures were also incubated with fluorescent tomato lectin to label microglia. Live cell images of the cultures showed a high degree of antibody colocalization with glia for 1D9 IgG1, IgG2A and IgG2B after one h incubation (scale = 20 µm). f. Overall uptake in each image (n = 15 images per group) was determined, and 1D9 IgG3 had less uptake than either IgG1 or IgG2B (p = 0.001 and 0.002, overall p = 0.0002, one-way ANOVA). g. 1D9 IgG1, IgG2A and IgG2B showed a shift to a majority microglial uptake in the presence of PHF (82, 77, and 82%). IgG3 in contrast did not and its percentage of microglial uptake was lower relative to the other three (46% colocalization, p = 0.0015, 0.008, and 0.001 for IgG1, IgG2A, and IgG2B, overall p = 0.0003, one-way ANOVA).

Figure Lengend Snippet: 1D9 IgG1 and IgG2A improve clearance of interstitial tau relative to their sdAb in vivo, whereas the 2B8 IgG subclasses are less effective than their sdAb . Brain interstitial fluid (ISF) was collected from JNPL3 mice aged 7-11 months infused with 1D9 or 2B8 sdAb (n = 6 per group), whole IgG1 or IgG2A (n = 6 per group), or artificial CSF (aCSF) vehicle (n = 11). Baseline samples were collected during the animals’ inactive period, and then for a further 24 hours following antibody administration. The shaded boxes in panels A and C represent the typical dark (awake) cycle for the mice. Even though the animals were maintained in constant light, they display the typical diurnal pattern of tau release during the first 24 h. a. In mice receiving 1D9, there were significant antibody, time, and interaction effects (p < 0.0001, = 0.0088, < 0.0001 respectively, two-way ANOVA). 1D9 sdAb treated animals had lower ISF tau levels relative to untreated controls at 7-10 h post-infusion (p = 0.027 and 0.0055 for 7-8 h and 9-10 h). 1D9 IgG1 infused animals were lower than untreated mice from 3-18 h (p values range from 0.033 through < 0.0001), and IgG2A treated mice from 0-18 h (p values range from 0.045 through < 0.0001). 1D9 IgG1 samples were lower than their sdAb at 5-6 h and 9-10 h (p = 0.035 and 0.025). b. When post-infusion samples were pooled, 1D9 sdAb, IgG1 and IgG2A samples were all lower than untreated control samples (p < 0.0001 for all, overall p < 0.0001, one-way ANOVA). IgG1 and IgG2A were also more effective at preventing the activity related tau increase compared to the sdAb (p < 0.0001 for both). c. In mice receiving 2B8, there were significant treatment, time, and interaction effects (p < 0.0001, = 0.0033, < 0.0001, two-way ANOVA). 2B8 sdAb treated mice had lower ISF tau compared to untreated animals from 0-22 h (p values range from 0.011 through < 0.0001). 2B8 IgG1 treated mice had lower tau levels at 3-14 h (p values range from 0.035 through < 0.0001), and 2B8 IgG2A treated mice only at 5-8 h (p = 0.029 and 0.0001 at 5-6 h and 7-8 h). 2B8 IgG1 values were also higher than its sdAb at 11-12 h and 15-20 h (p values range from 0.048 through 0.0055), and 2B8 IgG2A values were higher at 9-20 h (p values range from 0.035 through < 0.0001). d. All pooled 2B8 sdAb samples had lower ISF tau than untreated controls (p < 0.0001, < 0.0001, = 0.0003, overall p < 0.0001, one-way ANOVA). Post infusion samples from mice treated with 2B8 IgG1 and IgG2A had higher tau levels compared to their sdAb (p = 0.004 and < 0.0001) Points and bars represent average ± SEM. #### p < 0.0001, * p ≤ 0.05, ** p ≤ 0.01, *** p ≤ 0.001, **** p < 0.0001.

Figure Lengend Snippet: Fig. 1 Porcine reproductive and respiratory syndrome virus (PRRSV) nonstructural protein 4 (nsp4) interacts with cytochrome c1 (cyto.c1). A, yeast two hybrid assay. The plasmids pGBKT7-nsp4 and pGADT7-cyto.c1 were co-transformed into the yeast strain Y2HGold and selected on QDO/X/ABA plates. The top and second panels are the respective positive and negative controls. B, HEK 293T cells were transfected to express Flag-cyto.c1, or HA-nsp4 or together. At 24 h post-transfection, the cells were either subjected to direct Western blot analysis or lysed and immunoprecipitated with anti-HA antibodies. The proteins bound to sepharose beads were separated by SDS-PAGE, transferred to PVDF membranes, and probed with the antibodies to Flag and HA. C, the same as B except that nsp4 truncation mutants were used. D, MARC-145 cells were transduced with letiviruses that were expressing GFP or nsp4-GFP in the presence of 8 µg mL–1 polybrene, respectively. The cells were harvested 48 h post-transduction and cell lysates were immunoprecipitated using anti-GFP beads. The proteins bound to sepharose beads were subjected to Western blot analysis using an anti-cytochrome c1 polyclonal antibody or anti-GFP mAb. E, PRRSV nsp4 interacts with cyto.c1 in mammalian cells. Vero cells grown on coverslips in six-well plates were transfected when 60–70% to express the indicated proteins, either alone or pairwise. At 18–24 h post-transfection, the cells were fixed, permeablized, and stained with antibodies to HA and Flag, and examined by confocal microscopy. For double transfections, the merged images are shown at the right.
