Figure Lengend Snippet: Normal FFP, FFP+rhADAMTS13 (1 or 4μg/mL) and FFP+EDTA (10mM) were assayed for ADAMTS13 antigen level(A) and activity(B). The double solid line (=) denotes normal levels. Error bars are +/− one standard deviation.

Article Snippet: Aliquots supplemented with 1 or 4μg/mL recombinant human ADAMTS13 (rhADAMTS13, R&D Systems, Minneapolis, MN), or 10mM ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid (EDTA) were rocked on a VariMix platform rocker (Model {"type":"entrez-nucleotide","attrs":{"text":"M79735","term_id":"271754","term_text":"M79735"}} M79735 , Thermo Scientific) at 1Hz, with samples collected into low protein retention microcentrifuge (LPRM) tubes (Fisher Scientific, Pittsburgh, PA) at 30 and 60 minutes, then hourly until 6h.

Figure Lengend Snippet: Fig. 1. The process and outcomes of candidate screening and the pharmacokinetic profile of candidates. (a) The diagram shows the binding domains of anti-ADAMTS13 neutralizing antibodies (Nabs). (b) The strategy and process of candidate screening. (c) The specific activity of selected candidates in the media following transient expression (n = 1 or 2). (d) The relative residual activity of selected candidates in the presence of 9 Nabs (n = 1 or 2). (e) The plasma concentration profiles after the intravenous administration of the selected candidates or controls (MDTCS or MDTCS-Fc) at the dose level of 160 IU/kg. Each point represents the mean and standard error of the mean (n = 4 mice per time point).

Figure Lengend Snippet: Fig. 4. Autoantibody escaping ability of GC1126A using the iTTP patient’s plasma. (a) Relative residual activity of ADAMTS13 and GC1126A in the presence of autoantibodies from iTTP patient’s plasma (n = 2). Each patient’s plasma was diluted to inhibitory antibody concentrations of 0.5, 1, 2, and 3 BU/ml. Each diluted plasma was mixed with the same molar concentration (3 nM) of ADAMTS13 or GC1126A. Relative activity is the ratio of activity remaining after neutralizing antibodies in the patient’s plasma to activity when each substance is free of neutralizing antibodies. (b) Binding level of autoantibodies from patients with iTTP to ADAMTS13 and GC1126A. Statistical significance was determined using the one-way analysis of variance followed by Tukey’s test (α = 0.05). Each bar represents the mean and standard error of the mean (n = 3).

Figure Lengend Snippet: Fig. 5. Relationship between the anti-ADAMTS13 inhibitor titer and GC1126A EC50. The distribution of the amount of GC1126A required to achieve 0.5 IU/ml activity (EC50) for different patient samples at inhibitor titers of 0.6–0.9 BU/ml (n = 4), 1 BU/ml (n = 23), 3 BU/ml (n = 15), 6 BU/ml (n = 9), and 9 BU/ml (n = 5) (the observed data are shown with closed circles). The estimated regression line and the 95% confidence interval are depicted in solid and dotted lines, respectively. The linear regression analysis yielded the following relationship: EC50 (µg/mL) = 0.0347 + 0.0396 × anti-ADAMTS13 inhibitor titer (BU/mL) (R2 = 0.5842).
