| Peripheral Blood 1. The number and characteristics of peripheral effector and regulatory T-, and B- cells and dendritic cells (DC) of CFZ533-treated patients a. Multicolor flow cytometry to determine the number and characteristics of circulating T and B cells using the One study protocol in combination with intracellular cytokine measurements to determine the frequency of IFN-γ, IL-21 and IL-10 producing T and B cells. 2. To analyze T-B cell interaction during co-stimulation blockade a. Pure cell populations will be sorted with FACS Aria Cell SorterTM: CD4+CXCR5+ T-cells (Tfh cells)and CD19+CD27+ B cells (memory B cells). These memory B cells will be co-cultured with Tfh in the presence of donor antigen for 7 days to study the maximal Tfh-B cell interaction. Differentiation of B cells into plasmablasts (CD19+IgD-CD27+CD38++ cells) will be determined with flow cytometry. IgM and IgG production will be measured with a sandwich ELISA on the supernatant of the co-cultures. Donor-specific antibodies in culture supernatant by Luminex technology. b. Differentiation of patient derived CD43neg B cells into plasma cells will be studied after stimulation with an agonist CD40, anti-IgM and IL-21 (mimicking T cell stimulation). This assay will determine the functional blockade by the test compound. c. Elispot will be used to determine the frequency of donor-antigen specific Tfh-IL-21 producing cells. The frequency of donor specific IgG producing plasma cells will be counted using Elispot. 3. To study the efficacy of CFZ533 on CD40 receptor expression by peripheral blood cells a. CD40 saturation efficacy on peripheral B cells and DC by flow cytometry Biopsy 4) Characterization and quantification of the cellular infiltrate by immunohistochemistry a. CD3, CD4, CD8, CD79a, CD20, CD19, CD38, granzyme B, TIA1, C4d, C3d, CD40, CD40L, PD1, PD1L, BCL6, FoxP3 b. T and B cell mRNA expression profile by Q-PCR | — |
