Popis: | In preclinical toxicity studies, species-foreign proteins administered to animals frequently leads to formation of anti-drug antibodies (ADA). Such antibodies may form circulating immune complexes (CIC) with the administered protein. These CIC can activate the classical complement pathway, thereby forming complement-bound CIC (cCIC); if large of amounts of CIC or cCIC is formed, the clearance mechanism may become saturated which potentially leads to vascular immune complex (IC) deposition and inflammation. Limited information is available on the effect of different treatment related procedures as well as biomarkers of IC-related vascular disease. In order to explore the effect of different dose regimens on IC formation and deposition, and identification of possible biomarkers of IC deposition and IC-related pathological changes, C57BL/6J and BALB/c mice were dosed subcutaneously twice weekly with bovine serum albumin (BSA) for 13 weeks without adjuvant. After 6 and 13 weeks, CIC and cCIC were detected in plasma; after 13 weeks, IC deposition was detected in kidney glomeruli. In particular immunohistochemistry double-staining was shown to be useful for detection of IC deposition. Increasing dosing frequency or changing BSA dose level on top of an already established CIC and cCIC response did not cause changes in IC deposition, but CIC and cCIC concentrations tended to decrease with increased dose level, and increased cCIC formation was observed after more frequent dosing. The presence of CIC in plasma was associated with glomerular IC deposits in the dose regimen study; however, the use of CIC or cCIC as potential biomarkers for IC deposition and IC-related pathological changes, needs to be explored further. |
