Example 6

1×105 4T1 cells in 200 μl RPMI 1640 media were implanted in the 2nd thoracic fat pad tissue of Balb/c mice. When tumours reached 50-100 mm3 the mice were randomised and a single intraperitoneal flat dose of either 2 μg, 20 μg or 200 μg mouse anti-mouse CD25 (7D4) antibody was administered per mouse. At day 3 and day 9, tumour tissues and whole blood was isolated for immunophenotyping.

Results:

Antibody 7D4 exhibited Treg depleting activity in both whole blood and tumour tissue based on day 3 and day 9 post-dose analysis by immunophenotyping (FIG. 15).
