Comparison of l-PEI/PEG-mIL12 plasmid DNA nanoparticles with recombinant murine IL-12 protein in a B16F10 Red-FLuc syngeneic, metastatic model of cancer in the lungs of mice using Kaplan Meier survival analysis. (A) Nanoparticles were dosed at 3-d intervals, beginning on Day 5 (post tumor cell inoculation) as indicated by the arrows above the plot. The nanoparticle formulations produced a significant survival benefit over vehicle control (9.5% trehalose) (p ≤ 0.01, Log-rank test) and over the recombinant murine IL-12 (p ≤ 0.05, Log-rank test) at the dose tested. (B) Comparison of the mean in vivo luminescence signal ± SEM (Total Flux (p/s)) in the lungs of C57BL/6 mice 19 days after inoculation of B16F10-Red-FLuc cells showed a significant reduction in signal between PEG-mIL12 nanoparticles (upturned solid triangle) and the vehicle control group and also between recombinant mIL-12 (filled circle) and the vehicle control group (p ≤ 0.05, Dunnett’s multiple comparisons test).
