Gene targeting strategy for B-hIL15/hIL15RA mice. The mouse Il15 gene that encodes the full coding sequence was replaced by human IL15 counterpart gene sequences in B-hIL15/hIL15RA mice. The mouse Il15ra gene that encodes the extracellular region was replaced by human IL15RA counterpart gene sequences in B-hIL15/hIL15RA mice.
Strain specific analysis of IL15 and IL15RA gene expression in wild-type mice and B-hIL15/hIL15RA mice by RT-PCR. Mouse Il15 and Il15ra mRNA were detectable in spleen of wild-type mice (+/+) but not in homozygous B-hIL15/hIL15RA mice (H/H). Human IL15 and IL15RA mRNA were detectable only in homozygous B-hIL15/hIL15RA mice but not in wild-type mice.
Strain specific IL15 expression analysis in homozygous B-hIL15/hIL15RA mice by ELISA. (A) Mouse IL15; (B) Human IL15; Serum was collected from wild-type mice (+/+) and homozygous B-hIL15/hIL15RA mice (H/H), and analyzed by ELISA with IL15 ELISA kit. Human IL15 was only detectable in homozygous B-hIL15/hIL15RA mice but not in wild-type mice. Mouse IL15 was both detectable in wild-type mice and homozygous B-hIL15/hIL15RA mice. According to that mouse IL15 was not detection in homozygous B-hIL15/hIL15RA mice in mRNA level, probably the ELISA kit has cross reaction between human and mouse.
IL15RA expression analysis in homozygous B-hIL15/hIL15RA mice by flow cytometry. Dendritic cells were collected from wild-type mice (+/+) and homozygous B-hIL15/hIL15RA mice (H/H),and analyzed by flow cytometry with species-specific anti-IL15RA antibody. Mouse IL15RA was detectable in wild-type mice but not in homozygous B-hIL15/hIL15RA mice. Human IL15RA was exclusively detectable in homozygous B-hIL15/hIL15RA mice but not in wild-type mice.
Effects of AMG-714 (in house) in psoriasis-like skin lesions model of B-hIL15/hIL15RA mice. (A-B) Body weight changes during treatment. (C-D) Erythema and the scaling score of the back were scored daily from 0 to 6. Additionally, the total score (erythema plus scaling) is depicted (E). Results indicated that structural features of IMQ-induced skin inflammation is visible and increased in severity up to day 4. 3 mg/kg Anti-human IL15 antibody improve the disease score of erythema and scaling, but no effective in body weight.
