Figure Lengend Snippet: FIGURE 1. DNA vaccination-based anti-IL-27 Abs are highly specific. The Western blot shows that our DNA vaccination-based anti-IL-27 Ab binds mouse IL-27 p28 (lane 1; 27 kDa), but not recombinant mouse IL-18, IL-12, or TNF- (lanes 2, 3, and 4, respectively). A, Coomassie Blue staining verifies the appearance of each cytokine on the loaded gel. B, Western blot showing that of these cytokines, our DNA vaccination-based anti-IL-27 Ab binds only mouse IL-27 p28. These Ab also bound natural mouse IL-27 (verified by sequencing) from supernatant of activated MOGp35–55-specific cultured primary draining lymph node cells (not shown).

Figure Lengend Snippet: FIGURE 2. Anti-p28 Abs suppresses ongoing severe EAE. A, Four groups of 10 mice each were subjected to MOGp35–55-induced EAE. Beginning at the onset of disease (day 17), these mice were repeatedly (every other day) administered 100 g/mouse of anti-p28 Ab (f), IgG obtained from naive Lewis rats (Œ), or PBS (E). An observer blind to the experimental procedure scored EAE daily. The experiment summarized in Fig. 2 shows the results of one of three experiments performed under similar experimental conditions, with similar results. The mean maximal score SE represents six mice per group. The other four mice were killed on day 30 and subjected to histological evaluation (see Fig. 3). B, Five groups of six mice each were subjected to MOGp35–55-induced EAE. Beginning at the onset of disease (day 17), these mice were repeatedly (every other day) administered 100 g of anti-p28 Ab/mouse (f), anti-IL-18 Ab (F), anti-IL-1 Ab (), IgG obtained from Lewis rats previously subjected to an empty plasmid administration (Œ), or PBS (E). An observer blind to the experimental procedure scored EAE daily. Results are shown as the mean maximal score SE of six mice per group. C, Three groups of six mice each were subjected to induction of transferred EAE. Beginning at the onset of disease (day 5), these mice were repeatedly (every other day) administered 100 g of anti-p28 Ab/mouse (f), IgG obtained from naive Lewis rats (Œ), or PBS (E). An observer blind to the experimental procedure scored EAE daily. Results are shown as mean maximal score SE of six mice per group.

Three groups of six mice each were subjected to active induction of EAE. Beginning 1 day after the onset of disease (day 17), these mice were treated with either a single dose of anti-p28 Ab (100 g/mouse; E) or with repeated administration (every other day) of this Ab (Œ) or PBS (f). An observer blind to the experi- mental procedure scored EAE daily. Results are shown as the mean max- imal score SE of six mice per group.

Figure Lengend Snippet: FIGURE 3. Anti-IL-27 therapy reduces the histological score of EAE. Histological evaluation was conducted 30 days after disease induction. Lumbar spinal cord samples from naive mice or from EAE mice treated with PBS, IgG from naive mice, or anti-IL-27 p28 Abs were subjected to histological analysis (nine sections each group). The arrowheads point to the parenchymal mononuclear cell infiltration. The scale for mononuclear cell infiltration used was: 0, no mononuclear cell infiltration; 1, one to five perivascular lesions per section with minimal parenchymal infiltration; 2, five to 10 perivascular lesions per section with parenchymal infiltration; and 3, 10 perivascular lesions per section with extensive parenchymal infiltration. The mean histological score SE was calculated for each group.

Figure Lengend Snippet: FIGURE 5. Protective administration of anti-IL-27 Abs decreases in vivo polarization of CD4 T cells into Th1 and suppresses IFN- production by Ag-specific T cells. C57BL/6 mice (three per group) were subjected to active induction of EAE and then to repeated administration (days 12, 14, and 16) of anti-IL-27 p28 Abs (100 g), PBS, or normal rat IgG. On day 17 cervical lymph node cells (that drain the autoimmune site) were subjected to intracellular staining of IL-4 and IFN-. A, FACS analysis of CD4 T cells in this experiment. This experiment represents results obtained in three different independent experiments with very similar data. Subsequently, cervical lymph node T cells from these mice were cultured in the presence of 100 M MOGp35–55. After 72 h of stimulation, supernatants were assayed for the protein level of IFN- (B) and IL-4 (not shown). This experiment represents results obtained in three different independent experiments with very similar data.

Cultured cells were supplemented with anti-IL-27 Abs at a final concentration of 10 g/ml (), normal rat IgG (f), or PBS (E). After 60 h of incubation, cells were plates in spot ELISA plates for an additional 24 h for the detection of IFN--positive spots (38).

Article Title: Non-Clinical In Vitro Evaluation of Antibiotic Resistance Gene-Free Plasmids Encoding Human or Murine IL-12 Intended for First-in-Human Clinical Study

doi: 10.3390/pharmaceutics13101739

Figure Lengend Snippet: Construction and confirmation of the p21-mIL-12-ORT plasmid. ( a ) Cloning plan created using the SnapGene software: the expression cassette carrying the murine IL-12 sequence under the EF1/HTLV promoter was cut out of the pORF-mIL-12 (p40:p35) plasmid with the Not I and Swa I (blunt end) restriction enzymes and ligated to the pCR-blunt psiCAT plasmid cut with Not I and Pml I (blunt end). In the resulting plasmid, the promoter region was replaced with the p21 promoter from the p21-hIL-12-ORT plasmid using the Not I and Sal I restriction enzymes. The chloramphenicol antibiotic resistance gene (CmR) was then removed from the p21-mIL-12-Xmark plasmid using the ORT technology, resulting in the p21-mIL-12-ORT plasmid. ( b ) Annotated plasmid map: p21 promoter–promoter region from the native human p21 (CDKN1A) gene, mIL-12 (p40:p35) murine IL-12 intronless open reading frame consisting of the IL-12b (p40, beta subunit) and IL-12a (p35, alpha subunit) genes, SV40 polyA-simian virus 40 late polyadenylation signal, ORI- E. coli origin of replication, LacP lactose operon promoter with the lacO operator. ( c , d ) Restriction analysis: ( c ) the plasmid was cut with different combinations of restriction enzymes and its identity was confirmed by positive matching of the pattern of bands on the electrophoresis gel to the expected ( d ) pattern obtained by means of a simulation experiment using the SnapGene software. For the uncut plasmid, the simulated band pattern differs from the actual pattern because simulation can only be done for a supercoiled monomer, while other forms (supercoiled dimer, open circular, linear, nicked) can also be seen on the electrophoretic gel.
