Measuring IL15 Shedding from Cells

Example 80

To test if IL15 is shed into the media, supernatant from HCT116 cells expressing IL15-IL15Ra fusion constructs was subject to immunoassays such as ELISA and MSD (Rockville, Md.). In FIG. 54B, OD indicates optical density. IL15 was measured in the media of cells expressing IL15-IL15Ra fusion constructs. OT-IL15-009 construct demonstrated a TMP dose dependent increase in L 5 levels detected in the media. The level of IL15 in the media detected with the constitutive construct OT-IL15-008 was much higher than the levels detected with the DD regulated constructs (FIG. 54B). As shown in FIG. 54C, a dose dependent increase in L 5 levels was observed with both the DD regulated constructs using the MSD immunoassay. The detection of membrane bound IL15-IL15Ra fusion constructs in the supernatant suggests that IL15 constructs are likely shed from the cell surface.

Example 2

The studies presented herein are from an ongoing phase 2 pilot study in primary HLH patients who were administered the NI-0501 antibody and from patients who received the NI-0501 antibody in compassionate use.

As shown in FIG. 1, serum levels of CXCL9 and IFNγ were measured by Luminex and Meso Scale Discovery (MSD) technology, respectively, in samples obtained from 6 primary HLH patients and from 3 compassionate use patients. Correlations were performed between CXCL9 and total IFNγ concentrations. Statistics were performed and p values were obtained using the Spearman test.

As shown in FIG. 2, predose serum levels of CXCL9 and IFNγ were measured by Luminex and MSD technology, respectively, in samples obtained from 6 primary HLH patients and 3 compassionate use patients. Correlations were performed between CXCL9 and total IFNγ concentrations. Statistics were performed and p values obtained using the Spearman test.

Measuring Lower Limb and Hand Strength

Maximum quadriceps strength was assessed using a hand-held dynamometer (microFET2, Biometrics, Almere, The Netherlands) in a sitting position with the knee flexed at 90°. Participants were instructed to stretch their knee as much as possible. After measuring the lever distance (knee joint—application), the sum of the maximum force momentum [Nm] from a single trial of each leg was used for analysis.
Maximum hand grip strength [kg] was assessed with a dynamometer (Jamar, MSD, Londerzeel, Belgium, respectively). The value of a single trial with the preferred hand was used for analysis.

Multiplex Cytokine Profiling Protocol

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Cytokines were measured using a multiplex panel (IFN-α2a, IFN-λ, IFN-γ, IL-6, IL-8, monocyte chemoattractant protein 1 [MCP-1], interferon-inducible T cell alpha chemoattractant [I-TAC], IL-15) (MSD, MesoScale Discovery, Gaithersburg, USA) assay. The MSD assay was performed following the manufacturer's instructions using an MSD Sector Imager 2400. Cytokine concentrations were calculated using the Discovery Workbench software (version 4.0, Mesoscale Discovery, Gaithersburg, MD, USA) and based on a 4-fold serial diluted standard. CXCL10/IP-10 was quantified using a commercially available ELISA (R&D Systems, Wiesbaden, Germany) according to the manufacturer's instruction.

Quantification of GSK3β and MLC-2 Phosphorylation

GSK3β assay was performed on platelet rich plasma (Banerji et al. 2018 (link)) using assays validated to Good Clinical Practice standards on the MesoScale Discovery (MSD®). To monitor the phosphorylation status of GSK3β the samples were added to the plate followed by a solution containing the MSD SULFO-TAGTM labelled detection antibody for GSK3β.The plate was then analysed on the MSD SECTORTM Imager 6000 (Yap et al. 2014 (link)). The levels of pSer9 GSK3β, represented as a percent of the pre-treatment levels, were normalised to the levels of total GSK3β.
Myosin regulatory light chain 2 (MLC-2) levels of phosphorylated Ser19 and total MLC-2 were measured in lysates of platelets, isolated from blood by centrifugation, by Western blotting using fluorescent tagged IgG secondary antibodies and GAPDH as a loading control. The assay was validated by the ICR Clinical PD Biomarker group for use in clinical trials including low, medium and high Quality Controls. Fluorescent detection by LI-COR Odyssey Fc system and densitometric analysis of the images was performed using Image Studio (LI-COR).

Blood was taken by a puncture of the saphenous vein, heart puncture, or retro-orbital plexus (Li-heparin-coated tubes; KADE, Nümbrecht, Germany) and centrifuged to separate cells and plasma. Total plasma IgE was measured in AROM+ and WT male mice at different age points using a classical immunoassay isotope-specific sandwich ELISA (BD Pharmingen). The determination of the immunoglobulin isotype levels (IgG1, IgG2a, IgG3, IgM and IgA) was performed either with a multiplex bead assay (Biorad, CA, USA) or with a combined electrochemiluminescence multiplexed assay system (Meso Scale Discovery, MSD, Rockville, MD USA).

A randomised, multicentre, placebo controlled, open label clinical trial was performed. Three centres recruited patients including Cork University Hospital, Bons Secours Cork and Mercy University Hospital. Patients were randomised on a 1:1 allocation ratio to 2% Taurolidine infusions or to a placebo, given 4 times a day for a total of 4 days. A sealed envelope method was used for randomisation. Randomisation codes were generated from www.randomization.com.
The investigational medicinal product was an intravenous formulation of 2% Taurolidine (C7H16N4O4S2) manufactured by Geistlich-Pharma AG, CH 6110 Wolhusen/Luzern, Switzerland. The comparator placebo was 0.9% saline. The Taurolidine solution required central administration and all patients randomised to receive Taurolidine had either a central line or a peripheral long line inserted prior to the operation. First dose of Taurolidine or Placebo was administered at induction of anaesthesia. Trial bloods were performed pre-operatively, and at 3 h, 6 h, day 1, day 2, day3, day 5 and day 7 (only if still an inpatient) post-operatively. Human IFN-γ, IL-1β, IL-2, IL-6, IL-10, TNF-α, Human VEGF, Human CRP levels were measured using a customised ELISA kit manufactured by MSD (Meso Scale Discovery)® (Gaithersburg, Maryland, US).

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.
