Example 12

Each test antibody (IgG) was evaluated for in vitro neutralizing activity against human IL-33, based on IL-33-dependent IFN-γ production by human peripheral blood mononuclear cell (PBMC) as indicator. A commercially available polyclonal anti-IL-33 antibody (AF3625, available from R&D Systems, Inc.) was used as a positive control. PBMCs were prepared and were inoculated in a 96-well microplate (2×105/well), and a recombinant human IL-12 (Wako Pure Chemical Industries, Inc.) was added (final concentration: 10 ng/mL) to the microplate. A mixture of each test antibody and a recombinant human IL-33 protein (10 ng/mL) was added to the microplate, and the resulting solution was incubated at a temperature of 37° C. for 48 hours. The culture supernatant was then collected, and the IFN-γ production level in the medium was measured with AlfaLISA™ human IFN-γ immunoassay kit (PerkinElmer Inc.) to evaluate IL-33 neutralizing activity. In this evaluation system, when the alkaline-purified antibodies were allowed to act at a final concentration of 10 μg/mL, the inhibition percentages were as follows: A10-1C04 exhibited 96.9% inhibition, A23-1A05 shows 97.5% inhibition, A25-2C02 exhibited 98.75% inhibition, A25-3H04 exhibited 97.9% inhibition, and A26-1F02 exhibited 98.25% inhibition.

Briefly, sections were deparaffinized, rehydrated, and antigen was unmasked in a high pH buffer (Vector Labs, Burlingame, CA). Sections were stained with goat anti-human or anti-mouse IL-33 antibodies (AF3625 and AF3626, R&D Systems, Minneapolis, MN). An isotype goat polyclonal IgG negative control was used to test for the specificity of the involved antibody at matched concentration and incubation conditions (Jackson Immunoresearch, West Grove, PA). Sections were counterstained with Mayer’s hematoxylin.
Sections were also stained with anti-Ki67 (790-4286, Ventana, Tuscon, AZ) or phospho-histone H3 (9701S, Cell signaling, Danvers, MA) to quantify proliferation. Apoptotic epithelial cells were identified based on positive TUNEL staining (In Situ Cell Death Detection Kit, Roche, Indianapolis, IN).

Buffy coats from healthy donors were used for isolation of peripheral blood mononuclear cells by density-gradient centrifugation (650g, 22°C, 30 minutes) (catalog MST00T41004; Lymphosep). pDCs were obtained with the CD304 (BDCA-4/Neuropilin-1) MicroBead Kit, human, isolation kit (catalog 130-090-532; Miltenyi Biotec) at a purity greater than 95%. pDCs were cultured in RPMI-1640/l-glutamine supplemented with 10% v/v heat-inactivated FBS, 100 IU/mL penicillin, 100 μg/mL streptomycin, and 10 mm HEPES (Gibco) for up to 18 hours. Prior to stimulation with NETs (25% v/v NET-containing supernatants or cleaved IL-33–containing supernatants) and CpG-A (0.1 μM; catalog tlrl-2216; Invivogen), pDCs were pretreated with aST2L (3 μg/mL; catalog AF523; R&D) and FcR blocking reagent (catalog 130-090532; Miltenyi Biotec) to minimize any IC carryover effect and nonspecific binding of aST2L. IC SLE NET-containing supernatants were pretreated with goat anti–human IL-33 antibody (4 μg/mL; catalog AF3625; R&D) or left untreated at 37°C for 45 minutes before their administration to pDC cultures. pDCs were also pretreated with cytochalasin D (5 μg/mL; catalog C2618; Sigma-Aldrich) or chloroquine (4 μM; Plaquenil, ATC code 8P01BA02; Sanofi Aventis) for 30 minutes to block endocytosis and TLR trafficking, respectively.

About PubCompare

Our mission is to provide scientists with the largest repository of trustworthy protocols and intelligent analytical tools, thereby offering them extensive information to design robust protocols aimed at minimizing the risk of failures.

We believe that the most crucial aspect is to grant scientists access to a wide range of reliable sources and new useful tools that surpass human capabilities.

However, we trust in allowing scientists to determine how to construct their own protocols based on this information, as they are the experts in their field.
