Example 15
Male BALB/c OLA mice received adriamycin (11 mg/kg) intravenously via the tail vein on day 0. On day 8, mice were placed in metabolic cages and urine was collected over 16 hours. Urine samples were analyzed for albumin and creatinine using a Cobas c111 analyzer. All mice exhibited renal impairment by day 8 as determined by urine albumin: creatinine ratios (uACR). Mice were randomized into groups based on uACR. On day 10, mice received a single dose IV of either PBS (n=14) or fully murine fusion proteins C3d mAb-Crry (n=14; 50 mg/kg), C3d mAb-fH1-5 (n=13; 50 mg/kg), or non-targeted controls containing the fH1-5 or Crry proteins. Mice were placed again in metabolic cages to collect day 22 urine over 16 hr, and urine albumin and creatinine were determined (
