Imprime activates innate immune functions. (A) Complement activation proteins C4a, C5a, SC5b-9 in the plasma of whole blood treated with 10 μg/mL Imprime or vehicle for 30 min at 37 °C was measured by ELISA. Data represent mean ± SEM of triplicates for each treatment condition. (B) Modulation of CD11b, CD62L, CD88 and CXCR2 expression on neutrophils and monocytes post Imprime binding in whole blood was determined by flow cytometry. (C) Chemokine, IL-8 and MCP-1, production in the plasma of whole blood treated with Imprime or vehicle for 24 h at 37°C was measured by Luminex. Data represent mean ± SEM of duplicates from 3 independent experiments. (D) ROS production in 25:1 co-cultures of neutrophils (isolated from whole blood treated with 25 μg/mL Imprime or vehicle for 2 h at 37 °C) and Raji cells treated with or without 1 μg/mL rituximab was measured by luminescence-based assay. Macrophage-mediated ADCP was measured by flow cytometry after 1:1 co-incubation of macrophages (differentiated from monocytes isolated from WB treated with 25 μg/mL Imprime or vehicle for 2 h at 37 °C) with Raji cells treated with or without 1 μg/mL rituximab. Representative results are shown here from at least 3 independent experiments performed with three different donors (from Chan et al., 2016) [53].
