Figure Lengend Snippet: SDS-PAGE and Western blot analysis of hScFv-IL-17A proteins expressed in various E. coli strains. (a) SDS-PAGE of insoluble fractions; (b) SDS-PAGE of soluble fractions; (c) Western blot of insoluble fractions; (d) Western blot of soluble fractions. Lane 1: M (molecular weight marker); Lanes 2–4: hScFv-IL-17A-WT expressed in E. coli Origami B (DE3), SHuffle, and BL21 (DE3) with DisCoTune, respectively; Lanes 5–7: hScFv-IL-17A-C97S expressed in the same strains; Lane 8: purified hScFv M6-1B9 (positive control). Western blot detection was performed using an anti-His tag antibody. The arrow indicates the expected size of hScFv-IL-17A (∼28 kDa). Estimated amounts of hScFv-IL-17A are labeled. < LOD indicates signals below the limit of detection.

Article Snippet: After washing, purified hScFv-IL-17A-WT and hScFv-IL-17A-C97S (1 and 5 μg/mL) were added and incubated for 1 h. In this experiment, mouse anti-IL-17A mAb (neutralizing antibody mAb clone M237, Sino Biological, Beijing, China) (Cat.12047-M237) (1 μg/mL, 50 μL), which recognizes hIL-17A, was used as a positive control.

Figure Lengend Snippet: Indirect ELISA of hScFv-IL-17A binding to hIL-17A using an avidin–biotin system. Purified hScFv-IL-17A-WT and hScFv-IL-17A-C97S were tested at 1 and 5 µg/mL, expressed from SHuffle (WT/SHuffle-1, WT/SHuffle-5; C97S/SHuffle-1, C97S/SHuffle-5; light/dark green) and BL21 (DE3) with DisCoTune (WT/BL21Dc-1, WT/BL21Dc-5; C97S/BL21Dc-1, C97S/BL21Dc-5; light/dark orange). An IL-17A mAb (dark grey) was used as a positive control. Data represent mean ± SD from three independent biological replicates. Statistical analysis was determined by unpaired two-tailed Student’s t -test. Significance levels are denoted as: ** p < 0.01, *** p < 0.001, **** p < 0.0001.

Figure Lengend Snippet: Binding assessment of hScFv-IL-17A-WT (a) and hScFv-IL-17A-C97S (b) from BL21 (DE3) with DisCoTune by competitive ELISA. Various concentrations (0.1, 1, and 2 µg/mL) of IL-17A mAb (neutralizing antibody) were tested in competition with hScFv-IL-17A. WT was used at 1 µg/mL, whereas C97S was used at 5 µg/mL to compensate for its reduced binding activity observed in indirect ELISA. An anti-IFN-γ mAb (clone B27) was used as an irrelevant antibody control. Data represent mean ± SD from three independent biological replicates.

doi: 10.1371/journal.pone.0307307

Figure Lengend Snippet: A) Quantitative expression of IL-17A gene transcription determined by RT-PCR in the infected lungs of mice with M . bovis attenuated strain 534 or highly virulent strain 04–303 (n = 3 per timepoint /group). B) IL-17A total intensity expression in lungs assessed by digital pathology during infection with the indicated M . bovis strains (n = 3 per timepoint /group). The immunohistochemically stained sections were digitized and analyzed using an Aperio Scanscope CS. An algorithm was developed to quantify the cytoplasmic protein expression related to stain intensity, and the average of different stained areas was analyzed and represented as total intensity expression (pixels/μm 2 ), which corresponds to the estimated concentration of the selected cytokine in the indicated lung compartment. C) Total intensity expression of IL-17A in granulomas and pneumonia induced by strain 04–303 (n = 3 per timepoint /group). One representative example is shown from two independent experiments. Data were analyzed by ANOVA followed by the Bonferroni multiple comparison test. Each graph represents the means ± SE of IL-17A cellular detection of three mice for each day of the time course. Asterisks represent statistical significance between strains (*p<0.05, **p<0.01, **p<0.001). D) Representative micrographs of IL-17A immunostaining in non-infected lungs showing positive labeling in the bronchial epithelium (arrow) and some lymphocytes, and, on Day 21 post-infection, showing numerous positive cells in granuloma induced by infection with strain 534 and in pneumonic areas induced by strain 04–303 near necrotic cells (200x and 400x magnification, respectively).

A) Survival curves: mice treated with blocking IL-17A antibodies show significantly higher mortality. B) Significantly higher bacillary loads are seen in mice after eight days of start anti-IL-17A antibody administration (n = 5 per timepoint /group). C) Automated morphometry measurement of necrosis confirms more tissue damage in treated than in control mice (n = 4 per timepoint /group). D) Representative micrographs of the lungs of treated and non-treated mice with neutralizing IL-17A antibodies: the mouse lungs after five days of treatment show more extensive tissue damage (white asterisks indicate necrotic areas). Bacillary loads and morphometry curves were measured in five animals per time point in two different experiments. One representative example is shown from two independent experiments. Data were analyzed by applying ANOVA followed by the Bonferroni multiple comparison test. Asterisks represent statistical significance between treatments; values are expressed as mean ± SE (*p<0.05, **p<0.005, ****p<0.0001).
