Description of the Acute Immunogenicity Studies
immunogenicity study | administered particle | particle relative dose (relative number concentration) | euthanasia time point after particle injection | statistics |
---|---|---|---|---|
effect of particle size and dose | μNETs, nNETs | 1×, 0.5×, 0.25× | 2 h | •Brown–Forsythe one-way ANOVA, and Welch one-way ANOVA followed by unpaired Welch’s t-tests (two-tailed unless otherwise noted) •one-tailed unpaired Welch’s t-test for comparisons to LPS, and comparisons between doses of the same construct |
time-dependent cytokine response | μNETs, nNETs | 1× | 2, 4, 6 h | •Brown–Forsythe one-way ANOVA, and Welch one-way ANOVA followed by unpaired Welch’s t-tests (two-tailed unless otherwise noted) •one-tailed unpaired Welch’s t-test for comparisons to LPS (except comparisons between LPS at different time points) |
effects of nNET functionalization with folate or Herceptin | FF-nNETs, HF-nNETs | 1× | 4 h | •Brown–Forsythe one-way ANOVA and Welch one-way ANOVA followed by unpaired two-tailed Welch’s t-tests |
effects of dual injections of NETs one week apart | μNETs, nNETs | 0.5× | 2 h after second injection | •unpaired two-tailed Welch’s t-tests |
