[0050] FIG.26 provides a comparison of Lipid Particle Formulation Nos.13, 14, and 1 and four-component formulations containing an ionizable lipid (DLin-MC3-DMA or SM-102), DSPC, cholesterol, and DMG-PEG2k in a 50/10/38.5/1.5 molar ratio (mol% of each lipid in the
formulation). Lipid Particle Formulation No.1 showed a significantly higher delivery efficacy in human PBMCs than the other tested Lipid Particle Formulations. [0051] FIG.27 provides the relative luminescence units (“RLU”) observed in human PBMCs after treatment of Lipid Particle Formulation No.1 at various mRNA concentrations (firefly luciferase mRNA). A dose-response was observed with increasing concentrations of mRNA.

FIG.28A reports the number of MOG-specific FoxP3 positive Tregs observed. FIG.28B reports the percentage of MOG-specific FoxP3 positive Tregs. Co- encapsulation of epitope (MOG35-55) and immunomodulatory (IL-10) induced significantly higher levels of MOG-specific Tregs compared to the epitope or immunomodulatory. An additive effect of administering the two mRNAs together was evident from the data. [0053] FIG.29 reports the IL-10 concentration in mice that were treated with Lipid Particle Formulation No.1 encapsulating mouse serum albumin (“MSA”) MOG35-55, IL-10, or both MSA or MOG35-55 and IL-10. Naïve mice were not treated with Lipid Particle Formulation No.1. A clear dose response was observed for IL-10 concentrations in plasma, with higher IL-10 mRNA doses generating significantly higher plasma IL-10.

Lipid Particle Formulation No.1 stock retained its original critical quality attributes (size, PDI, and mRNA encapsulation) as well as functional delivery upon long term storage -80°C for 6 months. The spleen specificity is also maintained. [0055] FIGs.31A-31C show liver BLI values (FIG.31A), spleen BLI values (FIG.31B), and spleen to liver ratio (FIG.31C) in mice after administration of Lipid Particle Formulation No.1 including mRNA encoding luciferase at different time points following manufacture: fresh at 4 °C, frozen at -80 °C (frozen for two weeks), after 1 month storage at -80 °C, after 3 months storage at -80 °C, after 6 months storage at -80 °C.

IV. PHARMACEUTICAL COMPOSITIONS [0154] The present disclosure provides pharmaceutical compositions (e.g., tolerogenic compositions) comprising one or more lipid particles described herein comprising one or more payloads (e.g., nucleic acids encoding one or more peptides or epitopes). In some aspects, the peptides or epitopes constitute a fragment of a complete antigen protein. Such pharmaceutical compositions are also known as minigene vaccines. [0155] In some aspects, at least one nucleic acid included in the lipid particles disclosed herein encodes a plurality of different peptides. The nucleic acid can be engineered to insert protease cleavage sites and/or ribosomal skipping elements between the peptides, such that the encoded peptides are processed to produce separate peptides. Such polynucleotide constructs, also called “strings,” are useful as pharmaceutical compositions (see, e.g., Velders et al., J. Immunol. (2001) 166:5366-73; Schubert et. al., Genome Medicine (2016) 8:9). In some aspects, the pharmaceutical compositions comprise the lipid particles described herein comprising one or more polynucleotide constructs that encode one or more peptides with one or more protease cleavage sites and/or ribosomal skipping elements between the peptides. Both coding and non- coding strands can be incorporated into the nucleic acid included in the lipid particles disclosed herein. In some aspects, the string refers to a polynucleotide chain that encodes a plurality of the peptides in tandem. In some aspects, the string encodes 2 to 100, 2 to 90, 2 to 80, 2 to 70, 2 to 60, 2 to 50, 2 to 40, 2 to 30, 2 to 20, 2 to 10, 10 to 100, 10 to 90, 10 to 80, 10 to 70, 10 to 60, 10 to 50, 10 to 40, 10 to 30, 10 to 20, 20 to 100, 20 to 90, 20 to 80, 20 to 70, 20 to 60, 20 to 50, 20 to 40, 20 to 30, 50 to 100, 50 to 90, 50 to 80, 50 to 70, or 50 to 60 peptides. In some aspects, the peptides are arranged on a string to maximize recognition by a certain HLA. In some aspects, the epitope-coding sequences in a string construct are flanked by one or more sequences selected for better cleavability for peptide presentation by MHCs, better expression, and/or improved translation in a cell in a subject. The flanking sequences can comprise ribosomal skipping elements such as a T2A, P2A, F2A, or E2A sequence. In some aspects, the one or more cleavage sequences are selected from the group consisting of FRAC, KRCF, KKRY, ARMA, RRSG, MRAC, KMCG, ARCA, KKQG, YRSY, SFMN, FKAA, KRNG, YNSF, KKNG, RRRG, KRYS, and ARYA. In some aspects, the amino acid sequences encoded by a string construct further comprises a signal protein sequence. In some aspects, the string constructs may be mRNA. In some aspects, the lipid particles described herein may comprise one or more mRNA string constructs.
[0156] In some aspects, the pharmaceutical composition comprises lipid particles comprising a nucleic acid that comprises RNA encoding for one or more antigen peptides and/or T cell epitopes. In some aspects, the RNA is a messenger RNA (mRNA). The RNA can optionally further comprises one or more chemical modifications. For example, the RNA can comprise a five-prime (5′) and/or a three-prime (3′) untranslated region (UTR) and can be further stabilized by 7-methylguanosine (m7G) 5′ cap and 3′ poly (A) tails respectively, and/or a suitable Poly(A) sequence. In some aspects, the mRNA comprises modified nucleosides, for example Pseudouridine (Ψ), 1-methylpseudouridine (m1Ψ), and 5-methylcytidine (m5C). In some aspects, the RNA comprises a self-amplifying RNA (saRNA), which further encodes an RNA- dependent RNA polymerase that can be translated in situ, thereby amplifying the peptide- or antigen-encoding sequence(s) in situ (see, e.g., Bloom et al., Gene Therapy (2021) 28:117–29). An overview of mRNA compositions such as mRNA cancer vaccines is provided, for example, in Miao, L. et al., Molecular Cancer (2021) 20:41. [0157] In some aspects, the pharmaceutical composition comprises lipid particles described herein comprising both an antigen peptide and a nucleic acid coding for the peptide. In some aspects, the antigen peptide and the nucleic acid are linked. [0158] In some aspects, the lipid particles deliver the payload (e.g., nucleic acid(s)) to a target cell (e.g., tolerogenic target cell). The target cell, after internalizing the peptide(s), can present the peptide(s) on the cell surface with a cognate MHC, thereby to stimulate tolerogenic T cell responses. The lipid particles described herein deliver nucleic acids to target cell (e.g., tolerogenic target cell). [0159] In some aspects, the nucleic acid in the lipid particles described herein further comprises an immunomodulator. An immunomodulator can be an immunosuppressor, which reduces effector cell (e.g., cytotoxic T cell) activity, or an immunostimulator, which promotes T cell anergy or exhaustion (e.g., described in Kwong et al., Immunology & Cell Biology (2021) 99: 486–495, and Linsley et al., Curr Opin Endocrinol Diabetes Obes (2019) 26:213–218). The immunomodulator, when delivered to or expressed by the target cell, may induce or stabilize a tolerogenic, anergic, or exhausted status of the target cell or a cell in the vicinity. In some aspects, the immunomodulator comprises an immunomodulatory cytokine, for example, an immunomodulatory cytokine selected from IL-2, IL-10, TGF-β, IL-37, IL-27, IL-35, Vasoactive Intestinal Peptide (VIP), and variants thereof. In some aspects, the immunomodulatory cytokine is a mutant IL-2 that preferentially activates the IL-2Rαβγ receptor complex relative to the IL-
2Rβγ receptor complex (see, e.g., Ghelani et al., Front. Immunol. (2020) 11:1106; Khoryati et al., Sci Immunol. (2020) 5(50):eaba5264). In some aspects, the immunomodulator comprises a nucleic acid encoding an immunomodulatory cytokine. In some aspects, the immunomodulator comprises a nucleic acid encoding an intracellular or transmembrane immunomodulatory protein, for example, an immunomodulatory protein selected from PD-L1, PD-L2, ICOS ligand, ILT3, ILT4, BTLA, Fas, CD39, and indoleamine 2,3-dioxygenase 1 (IDO1), heme oxygenase 1, HLA- G, CD95L, galectin-1, and DC-SIGN. In some aspects, the immunomodulator comprises an immunomodulatory compound, for example, an immunomodulatory compound selected from vitamin A, vitamin D (e.g., 1α,25-dihydroxyvitamin D3, a.k.a. calcitriol), adenosine, kynurenine, retinoic acid, rapamycin, dexamethasone, corticosteroids, and a AhR ligand such as 2-(1' H- indole-3'-carbonyl)-thiazole-4-carboxylic acid methyl ester (ITE). Depending on the form of the immunomodulator and delivery agent, the immunomodulator can be encapsulated or otherwise contained in the lipid particle, or covalently or non-covalently attached to an outer or inner surface of the lipid particle. [0160] Pharmaceutical compositions comprising a lipid particle described herein and one or more pharmaceutically acceptable carriers are contemplated. In some aspects, the pharmaceutically acceptable carrier be one which has no detrimental side effects or toxicity under the conditions of use. In some aspects, a pharmaceutical composition is sterile and produced according to GMP guidelines. The one or more pharmaceutically acceptable carriers contained in the pharmaceutical compositions described herein include, but are not limited to, lactose, dextrose, sucrose, sorbitol, mannitol, starch, rubber arable, potassium phosphate, alginate, gelatin, potassium silicate, microcrystalline cellulose, polyvinylpyrrolidone, cellulose, water, syrups, methylcellulose, methylhydroxy benzoate, propylhydroxy benzoate, talc, magnesium stearate, and mineral oils. The pharmaceutical compositions described herein can further include a lubricant, a humectant, a sweetener, a flavoring agent, an emulsifier, a suspending agent, and a preservative. [0161] In some aspects, the pharmaceutical composition is in the form of a lyophilized formulation or an aqueous solution. The pharmaceutical composition can be in dosages suspended in any appropriate pharmaceutical vehicle or carrier in sufficient volume to carry the dosage.
[0162] The pharmaceutical compositions comprising such adjuvants, carriers, and/or excipients can be formulated by well-known conventional methods. These pharmaceutical compositions can be administered to the subject at a suitable dose. [0163] In some aspects, the pharmaceutical composition is in the form of a lyophilized formulation or an aqueous solution.

EXAMPLES [0192] The invention now being generally described, will be more readily understood by reference to the following examples, which are included merely for purposes of illustration of certain aspects and embodiments of the present invention, and is not intended to limit the invention. Example 1. Process-flow for lipid nanoparticles [0193] A general process that can be used to manufacture lipid particles described herein is provided as FIG.1. Specifically, the desired lipids (e.g., CHEMS, one or more ionizable lipids, one or more neutral lipids, cholesterol, and/or one or more stealth lipids (e.g., PEG terminated lipids) are dissolved in a solvent (e.g., ethanol). mRNA in citrate buffer (pH 4.0) can be added to the lipid solution and mixed (e.g., using T-junction mixer or microfluidic mixing) to produce the lipid particles. The particles can then be stabilized by diluting with an in-line buffer and two-step pH adjustment (e.g., 20 mM citrate, pH 6.0 followed by 1 M Tris HCl, pH 8.0). The lipid particles can then be dialyzed against Tris buffered saline, pH 7.4, PBS, or HEPES pH 7.4. The lipid particles can then be concentrated (e.g., using 100 kDa concentrators). The lipid particles
can then be subjected to sterile filtration through 0.22 µm polyethersulfone (PES) syringe filters to yield the final lipid particle formulation. [0194] The lipid particles can then be characterized for particle size and size-distribution using e.g., using dynamic light scattering (DLS), surface charge (zeta potential) using e.g., phase- analysis light scattering (PALS), mRNA encapsulation efficiency using e.g., Ribogreen assay or LC-MS, integrity of mRNA in LNPs using capillary electrophoresis and endotoxin burden using e.g., a LAL cartridge-based test (Endosafe® LAL cartridge from Charles River labs).

Example 3. BLI Protocol [0196] 6-8 week old C57BL/6J mice were used for this study. Prior to injections with the particular Lipid Particle Formulation to be tested, the mouse fur was clipped along the left lateral aspect of the abdomen up to the spine to highlight both splenic and liver expression fields. The mice were injected intravenously via tail vein with 100 μL of the Lipid Particle Formulation to be tested. The Lipid Particle Formulation to be tested contains an equivalent to 20 μg firefly luciferase mRNA. After 6 h, the mice were administered 200 μL D-luciferin (3 mg/mouse) via intraperitoneal injection (i.p), anaesthetized using isofluorane and imaged within 10 min using a LICOR Pearl imager. Images were obtained in right lateral recumbency under 3% isofluorane for anaesthetic maintenance. LICOR settings: BLI and White channels only, 85um resolution, focus at 0. The BLI values were determined using the Image Studio software, version 5.2.5 from LICOR. Regions of interest were drawn around organs (e.g., spleen or liver) using software tools and the corresponding BLI signal was calculated by the software after subtracting background values. Data were reported as spleen BLI values, liver BLI values and spleen to liver ratio (i.e. the ratio obtained by dividing the BLI value in spleen by the BLI value in the liver of the same animal). Example 4. DOPE v. DODG in Lipid Particles [0197] The spleen to liver ratio of each of Lipid Particle Formulation Nos.1, 3-6, and 53-55 (in PBS) and a PBS control were determined using the BLI protocol described in Example 3. The results are provided in FIGs.2A-2C. Example 5. Effects of CHEMS on Spleen Targeting [0198] The spleen to liver ratio of each of Lipid Particle Formulation Nos.1, 2, and 30-33 (in PBS) and PBS control were determined using the BLI protocol described in Example 3. The results are provided in FIGs.3A-3C. [0199] The spleen to liver ratio of each of Lipid Particle Formulation Nos.1, 13, and 43-48 (in PBS) and PBS control were determined using the BLI protocol described in Example 3. The results are provided in FIGs.4A-4C. [0200] Additionally, the spleen to liver ratio of each of Lipid Particle Formulation Nos.13, 15, 16, and 20-24 (in PBS) and PBS control were determined using the BLI protocol described in Example 3. The results are provided in FIGs.5A-5C.
[0201] BLI values for each of Lipid Particle Formulation Nos.1, 14, 16, and 25-29 (in PBS) and PBS in the spleen of mice are provided in FIG.6. The spleen to liver ratio of Lipid Particle Formulation Nos.1, 16, and 23-26 (in PBS) in mice are provided as Table 4. The BLI values were determined using the protocol described in Example 3. Table 4. Spleen to Liver Ratios
Example 6. Effect of neutral lipids [0202] The spleen to liver ratio of each of Lipid Particle Formulation Nos.1, 13, and 37-42 (in PBS) and PBS control were determined using the protocol described in Example 3. The results are provided in FIGs.7A-7C. Using the same lipid molar ratios, the choice of neutral lipid impacts spleen signal. DODG and DOPE target the payload to the spleen better than DOPC, DSPC, or DOCP. Example 7. Dual-targeted formulations (spleen and liver) [0203] The spleen to liver ratio of each of Lipid Particle Formulation Nos.1, 14, 16, and 25- 29 (in PBS) and PBS control were determined using the protocol described in Example 3. The results are provided in FIGs.8A-8C. Example 8. Four-Component System Targeting Spleen
[0204] The BLI values for spleen in mice were determined for Lipid Particle Formulation Nos.7 (four-component) and Lipid Particle Formulation Nos.14 (intravenous administration), 1 (pharmaceutical composition containing Tris intravenously administered), and 1 (lipid particles frozen) each of which contains five components and is reported in FIGs.9A-9C. The BLI values were determined using the imaging protocol and software as described in Example 3. Example 9. Intraperitoneal delivery [0205] 6-8 week old C57BL/6J mice were injected intravenously or intraperitoneally with 100 μl Lipid Particle Formulation No.1 or 14 (in TBS) containing firefly luciferase mRNA equivalent to 20 μg. Six hours after the injections, the mice were injected with 200 μl of D- luciferin (3 mg/mouse) administered i.p. After 2 min to allow for the distribution of luciferin, mice were put in a CO2 chamber and euthanized. After necropsy, the organs of interest (spleen, liver, and pancreas) were excised and placed individually into wells of a 24 well-plate. Enough luciferin (300 μg/mL) was added to cover the tissues (~0.5 mL/well). The organs were transferred to solution basins, with divisions between chambers to avoid spillover of luminescence from larger organs. Additional luciferin solution was added to the chambers during imaging if needed. The organs were imaged using the LICOR Pearl imager. Images of individual organs were analyzed using the Image studio software (version 5.2.5) from LICOR. Regions of interest were drawn around individual organs using software tools. Organs isolated from a PBS injected mouse were used as background control. The resulting images from the software and BLI values were reported for organs. The results are provided in FIGs.15A-15E. [0206] As shown in FIGs.15B and 15E, the luciferase was detected in the pancreas after Lipid Particle Formulation Nos.1 and 14 were each intraperitoneally administered. However, as shown in FIGs.15A, 15C, and 15D, the luciferase was detected in the liver and/or spleen when the same Lipid Particle Formulations were intravenously administered. Example 10. Subcutaneous delivery of Lipid Particle Formulation Nos.1, 13, and 14 [0207] 6-8 week old C57BL/6J mice were used for this study. Prior to injections with the Lipid Particle Formulation No.1, 13, or 14 (in PBS), the mouse fur was clipped along the left lateral aspect of the abdomen up to the spine to highlight both splenic and liver expression fields. The mice were injected subcutaneously in the left flank with 100 μL of Lipid Particle Formulation No.1, 13, or 14 (in PBS) containing an equivalent to 20 μg firefly luciferase mRNA. After 16 h, 24 h and 48 h respectively, the mice were administered 200 μL D-luciferin (3
mg/mouse) via intraperitoneal injection (i.p), anaesthetized using isofluorane and imaged within 10 min using a LICOR Pearl imager. Images were obtained in right lateral recumbency under 3% isofluorane for anaesthetic maintenance. LICOR settings: BLI and White channels only, 85um resolution, focus at 0. Lymph nodes (“LN”) were imaged only for the 24 h time point. For LN imaging, mice were euthanized using CO2, inguinal lymph nodes were isolated, placed in weigh boats and imaged using the LICOR Pearl imaging system. The BLI values were determined using the Image Studio software, version 5.2.5 from LICOR. For whole body images of animals or for isolated inguinal LN, regions of interest (“ROIs”) were drawn around organs (e.g. liver, site of injection or LN) using software tools and the corresponding BLI signal was calculated by the software after subtracting background values. Data were reported as spleen BLI values, liver BLI values and spleen to liver ratio for whole body imaging (i.e. the ratio obtained by dividing the BLI value in spleen by the BLI value in the liver of the same animal). For LN images, the BLI values for dissected LN and the underlying s.c tissue were reported for each formulation. The images are provided in FIG.16. [0208] As shown in FIG.16, upon subcutaneous administration to mice, the luciferase from Lipid Particle Formulation No.13 shows accumulation in the liver for at least 48 hours. In contrast, the luciferase from Lipid Particle Formulation No.14 has a low liver signal up to 24 hours. The majority of the luciferase from Lipid Particle Formulation Nos.1, 13, and 14 was retained at the site of injection and taken up into the lymph nodes. The luciferase from Lipid Particle Formulation No.1 accumulated to a greater extent in the lymph nodes with very negligible subcutaneous signal. Example 11. Spleen targeting using different ionizable lipids [0209] BLI values in the spleen and liver of mice for luciferase delivered by Lipid Particle Formulation Nos.1, 34, and 35 were determined using the protocol of Example 3. The results are provided in FIGs.10A-10B. Example 12. Four-Component Lipid Particles [0210] The average spleen BLI value, average liver BLI value, and spleen to liver ratios in mice for Lipid Particle Formulation Nos.7-10 and 76-77 (in PBS) were determined using the protocol provided in Example 3. The results are reported in Table 5 below. Each of the formulations contain 38.5% molar weight percent cholesterol and 1.5% molar weight percent of DMG-PEG2000.
Table 5
[0211] Whole body scans of the mice are shown in FIG.34B. Example 13. Four-Component Lipid Particles [0212] The average spleen BLI value, average liver BLI value, and spleen to liver ratios for the luciferase delivered Lipid Particle Formulation Nos.7, 11, 12, and 78 (in PBS) were determined using the protocol described in Example 3. The results are reported in Table 6 below. Each of the formulations contained 40% molar ratio SS-OP and 1.5% molar ratio of DMG-PEG2000. Table 6
[0213] Whole body scans of the mice are shown in FIG.34A. Example 14. Stability [0214] The BLI values for spleen (FIG.11A), liver (FIG.11B), and spleen to liver ratios (FIG.11C) in mice were determined for Lipid Particle Formulation No.1 (at different time points following manufacture: fresh at 4 °C, after 1 month storage at 4 °C, freshly frozen at -80 °C (frozen for two weeks), after two freeze-thaw cycles at -80 °C, after 1 month storage at -80 °C, or freshly made. A “fresh” formulation means it was typically formulated the day before injection and stored at 4 °C overnight. The BLI values were determined using the protocol described in Example 3. Example 15. Immunogenicity Assay [0215] The goal of the study was to determine the immunogenicity of mRNA encapsulated in Lipid Particle Formulation of interest. The mRNA was purified via oligo-dT column or RP- HPLC to remove dsRNA. [0216] 6–8-week-old C57BL/6 mice were injected intravenously via the tail vein with Lipid Particle Formulation No.79 (containing MC3) or 80 (containing SS-OP). R848 (Resiquimod, Invivogen) was injected as a control for B and T cell activation.6 hours post-injection, the mice were sacrificed and blood was collected via cardiac puncture into tubes containing an anticoagulant. Plasma was separated by centrifuging the blood at 3000 rpm for 10 min at 4°C. Plasma was analyzed for INF-α using an ELISA kit (mouse Quantikine IFN-α ELISA, R&D Systems). Spleens were processed with a GentleMACS in RPMI medium to obtain splenocytes. The splenocytes (1 x 106 cells/well) were then blocked with FcBlock (BioLegend) and stained for CD45 (all immune cells), CD3 (T cells), CD19 (B cells), and CD69 (activation marker) all from BioLegend (all at 1:100) for 1 hr at 4 °C in MACS buffer (PBS, 0.05% BSA, 2mM EDTA). Cells were washed with MACS buffer and flow cytometry was then performed on the BD FACSCelesta. Activated B cells were gated as CD45+ CD19+ CD69+ CD19-, and activated T cells were gated as CD45+ CD3+ CD69+. Percentages in the charts indicate the percentage of CD69+ cells of the parent gate (either B or T cells). [0217] IFN-α is a marker of innate immune cell activation of TLR3 by dsRNA. CD69 is a marker of activated B and T cells. R848 is a small molecule TLR7/8 agonist that induces inflammation in C57BL/6 mice and can activate B and T cells but does not induce IFN-α production. The results are provided in FIGs.12A-12C.
[0218] Neither MC3 nor SS-OP ionizable lipids alone (no luciferase mRNA) induced any IFN-α or lead to the activation of B or T cells. Lipid Particle Formulations encapsulating OdT purified fLuc mRNA, which has been demonstrated to contain some residual dsRNA, potently induced IFN-α as well as the activation of CD69+ B and T cells. Lipid Particle Formulation No. 80 (containing SS-OP) which contained the same amount of fLuc mRNA as the Lipid Particle Formulation No.79 (containing MC3) induced significantly less IFN-α and B and T cell activation. HPLC purification of the mRNA did not activate B or T cells and there was no detectable amount of IFN-α produced, indicating that HPLC is a superior method for removal of dsRNA. Example 16. Induction of Tregs and anergic T-cells [0219] C57BL/6J female mice were injected intravenously with 100 μL Formulation 1 via the tail vein. The following groups were injected on days 0, 3, 7 and 10: MOG (20 μg), MOG+IL-10 (20+20) μg, MOG+TGF β (20+20) μg, MOG+PD-L1 (20+20) μg, MOG+IL- 10+PD-L1 (20+20+20) μg or MOG+ TGF β+ PD-L1 (20+20+20) μg. [0220] The C57BL/6J female mice were euthanized using CO2, three days after the final dose on day 13. The spleens were harvested and weighed and placed in gentleMACS tubes containing 5 mL RPMI on ice. The spleens were homogenized for 1 min in the gentleMACS dissociator, filtered via 40 μm filter caps into 50 mL conical tubes and washed with MACS buffer. Cells were pelleted after spinning for 5 min at 500 xg and subjected to RBC lysis using ACK lysis buffer for 2-3 min at room temperature. The cells were washed with PBS (10 mL) and pelleted again. Cells were finally resuspended in 5 mL MACS and counted using Cellaca MX high-throughput cell counter after1:1 dilution with 25 μL AOPI. For flow cytometric staining, 4 million cells were placed into 1.5 mL eppendorf tubes and topped up to 1 mL with MACS buffer; then, cells were spun down and resuspended in 0.4 mL MACS buffer prior to plating of 2e6 cells/well in a 96 well VB plate by transfer of 0.2 mL. For FMOs, 0.2 mL from various groups were pooled and distributed to 9 separate wells at 0.2 mL. Flow staining for tetramer and the Treg panel was performed. Briefly, cells were stained for viability with Zombie Aqua and Fc block for 15 min at RT in 200 μL PBS. Then, after pelleting and removal of supernatant, cells were stained for 1 hour at room temperature in 50 μL MACS containing 10 μL of MOG:IA-b tetramer-PE (MBL International) for 2e6 total cells. After 1 hour, surface staining antibodies were added in each well at 50 μL/well to top up to 100 μL and cells were left to stain for 20 min more at RT. After pelleting and removal of supernatants, cells were fixed with Foxp3 transcription factor
fixation/permeabilization buffer for 20 min at RT and finally stored in 200 μL MACS buffer O/N. On the following day, cells were pelleted and resuspended in 80 μL permeabilization/wash (P/W) buffer per well containing 1 μL Fc block and 1 μL mouse serum for 30 min. Then, Foxp3 antibody was added directly to wells in 20 μL and left to stain for 30 min at R.T. in 100 μL total. Cells were washed with 100 μL P/W buffer and resuspended in 100 μL of MACS buffer. Then, cells received 20 μL of MACS buffer containing 10k counting beads per well. Cells were run on the BD Celesta and the program was set to record 1 million live cells per sample, however, the range of live cells collected was between 100-300k cells. Final analyses were performed using FlowJo and excel. [0221] The results from the assay are provided in FIGs.13 and 14. Results from a similar study are provided in FIGs.17A-17C. The figures show that Lipid Particle Formulation No.1 is capable of delivering and expressing the mRNAs encoding epitopes or epitopes together with IL- 10 in the target tissue, i.e., spleen. Example 17. In vivo Efficacy in EAE Mouse Model of Multiple Sclerosis [0222] C57BL/6 mice (10-13 weeks old) were anaesthetized using isofluorane on day 0. EAE was induced in these mice by subcutaneous (s.c) injection of 200 µL total of an emulsion of MOG35-55 in complete Freund’s adjuvant (MOG 35-55/CFA) (#EK-2110, Hooke laboratories) containing around 200 ug MOG 35-55. Two injections of 100 µL each were administered on the hind flanks, just adjacent to the spinal column. The animals were placed back in their cages for 3 h and injected intraperitoneally (i.p.) with 100 µL PBS containing 150 ng pertussis toxin (PTX) per mouse. [0223] On day 1, all animals were again injected intraperitoneally (i.p.) with 100 μL PBS containing 150 ng PTX/mouse. Lipid Particle Formulation No.15 containing 20 µg MOG35-55 or an irrelevant mRNA were administered intravenously via tail vein injection on day 7 and day 10 (prophylactic study) or on day 12 and day 15 (therapeutic study). Control mice were injected with MOG 35-55/CFA and PTX but no Lipid Particle Formulation No.15. Animals were monitored for their body weights and scored for signs of EAE induction daily from day 10 onwards using the EAE scoring rubric in Table 7 below. The study was terminated on day 20 and spleens were harvested from mice on day 21.
Table 7. EAE scoring
[0224] Results from the study are provided in FIGs. 18A-18B. The figures show that the formulation is capable of delivering and expressing mRNA encoding the MOG antigen to the spleen and spinal cords of the subject mice. [0225] Additionally, serum IL-17 levels were measured in the inducible EAE mice following treatment with either Lipid Particle Formulation No. 15 encoding MOG peptide or Lipid Particle Formulation No. 15 encoding irrelevant mRNA. A significant reduction in IL-17 levels was observed in the EAE mice treated with a formulation containing mRNA that encodes the MOG peptide compared to the EAE mice treated with formulation containing mRNA that encodes irrelevant mRNA (FIG. 18A). Restimulation assay (cytokine analysis): [0226] C57BL/6J female mice were euthanized using CO2 after the study was terminated. The spleens were harvested, homogenized and after removal of RBCs using ACK lysis, splenocytes were counted and resuspended in RPMI media containing 10% FBS. Bulk splenocytes were plated at 200,000 cells per 96-well plate in duplicates. Cells were stimulated with 10 µg/ml MOG peptide or unstimulated (no-peptide) for 48 h. Supernatants were collected from the plates and run on Magpix using a custom 7-plex (IL-2, IL-4, IL-6, IL-10, IFNy, TNFa, and IL-17a) Luminex kit from R&D systems. The data were analyzed using two-way ANOVA with Tukey’s post hoc tests for multiple comparisons.
Example 18. In vivo Efficacy in NOD Mouse Model of Type 1 Diabetes [0227] NOD mice were immunized intravenously once a week for five weeks starting when the mice were 6 weeks of age. The tolerizing vaccine used in this experiment used Lipid Particle Formulation No.1 as follows: • Formulation 1: Lipid Particle Formulation No.15 with tol105 mRNA and KIF1a mRNA (20 µg of each, 40 µg total) • Formulation 2: Lipid Particle Formulation No.15 with tol105 mRNA, KIF1a mRNA, and IL-10HA mRNA (20 µg of each, 60 µg total) • Formulation 3: Lipid Particle Formulation No.15 with no mRNA, dosed at a lipid equivalence to the 60 µg dose of formulation 2. [0228] Tol105 is a construct made using literature epitopes described in Podojil, JR, et al., “Tolerogenic Immune-Modifying Nanoparticles Encapsulating Multiple Recombinant Pancreatic β Cell Proteins Prevent Onset and Progression of Type 1 Diabetes in Nonobese Diabetic Mice,” J Immunol. (Aug 12022):209(3):465-75. doi: 10.4049/jimmunol.2200208. Epub 2022 Jun 20. PMID: 35725270; PMCID: PMC9339508. [0229] The KIF1a mRNA consists of two overlapping DECODE class I epitopes with flanks. The sequences for all of the epitopes in tol105 and the Kif1a sequences are listed in Table 8 below. Table 8
[0230] Following all five immunizations, the mice were monitored for blood glucose levels once a week. Hyperglycemia was indicated when blood glucose levels exceeded 200mg/dL glucose and diabetes was indicated when blood glucose levels exceeded 400mg/dL. Diabetic mice were euthanized and their spleens and pancreas collected. All remaining mice on study were euthanized when the mice were 30 weeks of age and spleen and pancreas collected. Results from the study are provided in FIGs.19A-19B. The results again show that the formulation is capable of delivering and expressing mRNAs encoding T1D epitopes to the target tissue, i.e., spleen. Example 19. Determining pKa of Lipid Particle Formulation using the (2-(p-toludino)-6- naphthalene sulfonic acid) (“TNS”) assay [0231] TNS, a non-fluorescent dye in aqueous solutions, exhibits strong fluorescence by binding to cationic lipids or polymers. At low pH values, the interaction between TNS and cationic lipid increases and leads to a steady increase in fluorescence until it reaches a plateau. The pH value at the half maximum value of fluorescence represents the pKa of a Lipid Particle Formulation Nos.1 (FIG.20A), 13 (FIG.20B), and 14 (FIG.20C). [0232] A master buffer stock was made using 20 mM sodium phosphate, 25 mM sodium citrate, 20 mM ammonium acetate, and 150 mM sodium chloride. pH buffers from 2.5 to 11.0 in increments of 0.5 units were prepared by adjusting the master buffer with concentrated NaOH and HCl.250 μL of buffer at each pH was first added to a 96 well black plate in triplicate. Next, 5 μL of the Lipid Particle Formulation diluted to 0.1 mg/mL were added to each of the buffer containing wells. Finally, TNS was added at a final concentration of 6uM from a 0.16mM stock in DMSO (10 µL), the wells were mixed well and the plate was set aside for 5 min. The TNS fluorescence was read at 322Ex/431Em using the Spectramax ID3 plate reader. A graph of normalized fluorescence of TNS vs. pH was plotted. The pKa of the particular Lipid Particle Formulation which is defined as the pH value at the half maximum value of TNS fluorescence was determined from the graph (FIGs.20A-20C). [0233] The pKa of Formulation Nos.1, 13, and 14 are each in the ranges reported for commercially approved lipid nanoparticles.
Example 20. mRNA integrity [0234] To determine mRNA integrity, mRNA is first released from the mRNA-Lipid Particle Formulation. In this study, Lipid Particle Formulation Nos.1, 13, and 14 were used. [0235] For capillary gel electrophoresis (“CE”) analysis under denaturing conditions, 10 μL of the respective mRNA-Lipid Particle Formulation sample was mixed with 20 μL of 0.3% Triton X-100 in CE-grade water, 50 μL of formamide solution (SLS) and 10 μL of CE-grade water. Samples were incubated at room temperature for 20 minutes and then heated for 10 minutes at 70 °C using a thermal cycler. Next, samples were chilled on ice for at least 5 minutes and transferred to the multi-capillary sample plate that was pre-filled with RNA dilution buffer. An RNA ladder was included on the plate. The plate was run on an Agilent 5200 fragment analyzer. The relative concentration (%) was determined from the RFU values. Reduction in the relative concentration (%) of mRNA for each sample at time T was compared to the original sample at time T=0 and data was obtained for up to 16 weeks. A cut off of 85% was used as the minimum value for integrity measurements. [0236] The results are provided in FIGs.21 and FIGs.22A-22B. For Lipid Particle Formulation No.1, the mRNA integrity was retained for up to 4 months at 2-8 °C; for Lipid Particle Formulation Nos.13 and 14, the relative concentration % values dropped after 6 and 11 weeks, respectively. Example 21. Multiple mRNAs can be encapsulated into the Lipid Particle Formulations [0237] Lipid Particle Formulation No.1 was used as a representative example. Lipid Particle Formulation No.1 was formulated using three mRNAs (MOG35-55, OVA and IL-10). Each of the three mRNAs was added at 20 μg in the mRNA mix for a final combined concentration of 0.5 mg/mL. After formulating, the lipid particles were lysed and analyzed using capillary gel electrophoresis to look at the integrity of Lipid Particle encapsulated mRNA (method detailed in Example 20). The relative concentration (%) of each mRNA was determined from the CE electropherogram. [0238] As shown in FIGs.23A and 23B, it was clear that the Lipid Particle Formulations described herein (e.g., Lipid Particle Formulation No.1) can encapsulate at least three different mRNA payloads at a time.
Example 22. The Lipid Particle Formulations do not generate IL-1β in human PBMCs in vitro [0239] mRNA Lipid Particle Formulations were formulated using the T-mixing method as described in FIG.1. Lipid Particle Formulation No.1 and base formulations (ionizable lipid/DSPC/Cholesterol/DMG-PEG2000, 50/10/38.5/1.5) with different ionizable lipids namely, SS-OP, MC-3 and SM-102 were prepared using HPLC purified mRNA. All formulations were tested for endotoxin before treating cells. [0240] Fresh human PBMCs were seeded in U-bottom 96 well plates at 2e5 cells/well in RPMI with 2% human AB serum. The cells were primed for 2 h with LPS (1 μg/ml) or R848 (0.5 μg/ml). Following priming, cells were treated with the various mRNA Lipid Particle Formulations at an mRNA dose of 30 μg/mL for 17 h or with nigericin, the positive control at a dose of 10 μg/mL for 1 h. After 17h, the plates were centrifuged for 5 min at 300 x g, supernatants were transferred to fresh plates, and IL-1β levels were analyzed using human IL- 1β/IL-1F2 quantikine ELISA kit from R&D systems. [0241] As shown in FIG.24, none of the Lipid Particle Formulations generated any significant levels of IL-1β relative to the non-treated (media alone) group. This shows that the production and clean-up processes employed for mRNA and Lipid Particle Formulations generate a drug product that does not induce production of pro-inflammatory cytokines like IL- 1β and does not stimulate the innate immune system. The positive control nigericin generated significantly high levels of IL-1β after treatment. Example 23. Lipid Particle Formulation delivery efficacy in human PBMC subsets [0242] Fresh human PBMCs were used to isolate PBMC subsets (DCs, monocytes, CD4 T- cells, CD8 T-cells, and B cells). StemCell kits (positive or negative selection) were used per manufacturer’s instructions to isolate the individual cell subsets. About 2e5 cells/well/100 μL were seeded in the respective cell culture medium for each of these cell types. Cells were treated with 100 μL of a particular Lipid Particle Formulation (3 wells/treatment), equivalent to an mRNA concentration of 20 μg/ml (firely luciferase mRNA, 4 μg/well) for 17 h. Lipid Particle Formulation Nos.13, 14, and 1 were compared to comparator 4-component formulations (ionizable lipid/DSPC/Cholesterol/DMG-PEG2k, 50/10/38.5/1.5) using either DLin-MC3- DMA, SM-102 or SS-OP as the ionizable lipids. At the end of the incubation, plates were spun
for 5 min at 300 x g and supernatants were removed. The cells were then resuspended in 100 μL fresh culture medium and 100 μL steady-glo luciferin substrate was added to cells and mixed well. After 5 min to allow for cell lysis, 150 μL of the lysate was transferred to white opaque plates and the luciferase signal was read using the luminescence protocol in a Spectramax iD3 plate reader. The relative luminescence units (“RLU”) were plotted for each of the treatments. Higher signal indicated greater delivery efficacy. [0243] As shown in FIGs.25A-25E, Lipid Particle Formulation No.1 showed a significantly higher delivery efficacy in all of the PBMC subsets versus the other tested Lipid Particle formulations. Example 24. Lipid Particle Formulation delivery efficacy in human PBMCs [0244] Human PBMCs were seeded at 2e5 cells/well/100 μL in RPMI with 2% human AB serum. Cells were treated with 100 μL Lipid Particle Formulation (3 wells/treatment), equivalent to an mRNA concentration of 20 μg/mL (firely luciferase mRNA, 4 μg/well) for 17 h. Lipid Particle Formulation Nos.13, 14, and 1 were compared to comparator 4-component formulations (ionizable lipid/DSPC/Cholesterol/DMG-PEG2k, 50/10/38.5/1.5) using either DLin-MC3-DMA or SM-102 as the ionizable lipids. At the end of the incubation, the plates were spun for 5 min at 300 x g and the supernatants were removed. The cells were then resuspended in 100 μL fresh RPMI with 2% human AB serum.100 μL steady-glo luciferin substrate was added to the cells and mixed well. After 5 min to allow for cell lysis, 150 μL of the lysate was transferred to white opaque plates and the luciferase signal was read using the luminescence protocol in a Spectramax iD3 plate reader. The relative luminescence units (“RLU”) were plotted for each of the treatments. Higher signal indicated greater delivery efficacy. [0245] As shown in FIG.26, Lipid Particle Formulation No.1 showed a significantly higher delivery efficacy than the other tested Lipid Particle Formulations Example 25. mRNA-Lipid Particle Formulation dose response in human PBMCs in vitro [0246] Human PBMCs were seeded at 2e5 cells/well/100 μL in RPMI with 2% human AB serum. Cells were treated with 100 μL Lipid Particle Formulation No.1 (3 wells/treatment) containing various mRNA concentrations (firely luciferase mRNA) for 17h. A final mRNA concentration range of 0.25 to 30 μg/mL (0.05 to 6 μg mRNA/well) was evaluated. At the end of the incubation, plates were spun for 5 min at 300 xg and supernatants were removed. The cells
were then resuspended in 100 μL fresh RPMI with 2% human AB serum and 100 μL steady-glo luciferin substrate was added to cells and mixed well. After 5 min to allow for cell lysis, 150 μL of the lysate was transferred to white opaque plates and the luciferase signal was read using the luminescence protocol in a Spectramax iD3 plate reader. The relative luminescence units (“RLU”) were plotted for each of the treatments. Higher signal indicated greater delivery efficacy. [0247] As shown in FIG.27, clear dose-response was observed with increasing concentrations of mRNA. It is also clear that Lipid Particle Formulation No.1 improved the delivery efficacy. Example 26. Induction of antigen-specific Tregs in vivo by Lipid Particle Formulations co- encapsulating epitope and immunomodulatory [0248] C57BL/6J female mice were immunized with 100 μg MOG35-55/CFA emulsion subcutaneously. They were treated with Lipid Particle Formulation No.1 encapsulating an irrelevant mRNA (mouse serum albumin (“MSA”)), MOG35-55, IL-10, or both MOG35-55 and IL- 10. Mice were treated with four doses of Lipid Particle Formulation No.1 administered twice weekly starting on day 7 post-immunization (days 7, 10, 14 and 17). [0249] The mice were euthanized using CO2, three days after the final dose on day 17. The spleens were harvested, weighed and placed in gentleMACS tubes containing 5 mL RPMI on ice. The spleens were homogenized for 1 min in the gentleMACS dissociator, filtered via 40 μm filter caps into 50 mL conical tubes and washed with MACS buffer. Cells were pelleted after spinning for 5 min at 500 x g and subjected to RBC lysis using ACK lysis buffer for 2-3 min at room temperature. The cells were washed with PBS (10 mL) and pelleted again. The cells were finally resuspended in 5 mL MACS and counted using Cellaca MX high-throughput cell counter after1:1 dilution with 25 μL AOPI. For flow cytometric staining, 4 million cells were placed into 1.5 mL eppendorf tubes and topped up to 1 mL with MACS buffer. Then cells were spun down and resuspended in 0.4 mL MACS buffer prior to plating of 2e6 cells/well in a 96 well VB plate by transfer of 0.2 mL. For FMOs, 0.2 mL from various groups were pooled and distributed to 9 separate wells at 0.2 mL. [0250] Flow staining for tetratmer and the Treg panel was performed. Briefly, cells were stained for viability with Zombie Aqua and Fc block for 15 min at R.T. in 200 μL PBS. Then, after pelleting and removal of supernatant, cells were stained for 1 hour at room temperature in
50 μL MACS containing 10 μL of MOG:IA-b tetramer-PE (MBL International) for 2e6 total cells. After 1 hour, surface staining antibodies were added in each well at 50 μL/well to top up to 100 μL and cells were left to stain for 20 min more at R.T. After pelleting and removal of supernatants, cells were fixed with Foxp3 transcription factor fixation/permeabilization buffer for 20 min at R.T. and finally stored in 200 μL MACS buffer O/N. [0251] On the following day, cells were pelleted and resuspended in 80 μL permeabilization/wash (P/W) buffer per well containing 1 μL Fc block and 1 μL mouse serum for 30 min. Then Foxp3 antibody was added directly to wells in 20 μL and left to stain for 30 min at R.T. in 100 μL total. Cells were washed with 100 μL P/W buffer and resuspended in 100 μL of MACS buffer. Then cells received 20 μL of MACS buffer containing 10k counting beads per well. Cells were run on the BD Celesta and the program was set to record 1 million live cells per sample. The range of live cells collected was between 100-300k cells. Final analyses were performed using FlowJo and excel. [0252] As shown in FIGs.28A-28B, co-encapsulation of epitope (MOG35-55) and immunomodulator (IL-10) induced significantly higher levels of MOG-specific Tregs compared to the epitope or immunomodulator. An additive effect of administering the two mRNAs together was evident from the data. Example 27. IL-10 was detected in mouse plasma on day 8 and 18, 24h post injections [0253] C57BL/6J female mice were immunized with 100 μg MOG35-55/CFA emulsion subcutaneously. They were treated with Lipid Particle Formulation No.1 encapsulating an irrelevant mRNA (mouse serum albumin (“MSA”)), MOG35-55, IL-10, or both MOG35-55 and IL- 10. [0254] Mice were treated with four doses of the Lipid Particle Formulation No.1 administered twice weekly starting on day 7 post-immunization (days 7, 10, 14 and 17). On day 8 and day 18, 24 h after the 1st and 4th doses respectively, mice were bled via retro-orbital sinus and blood was collected into tubes containing EDTA. Plasma was isolated from blood and stored at - 80 °C until analysis. To detect IL-10 levels, the plasma samples were diluted 2-fold and analyzed using the mouse IL-10 Quantikine ELISA kit from R&D systems per the manufacturer’s instructions. [0255] As shown in FIG.29, a clear dose response was observed for IL-10 concentrations in plasma with higher IL-10 mRNA doses generating significantly higher plasma IL-10. Lipid
Particle Formulation No.1 maintained the mRNA delivery efficacy through the duration of the study, with Day 8 and Day18 IL-10 levels showing no differences. Example 28. Lipid Particle Formulation stock stored at -80°C for up to 6 months retains original critical quality attributes and functional mRNA delivery in vivo [0256] For long term storage stability studies, multiple batches of Lipid Particle Formulation No.1 containing firefly luciferase mRNA were formulated. Before filtration, sucrose was spiked into the formulation from an 80% w/v sucrose stock in Tris-buffered saline for a final sucrose concentration of 7% w/v for each batch. The formulations were then stored at -80°C until the designated time point. [0257] At designated time points 1 month, 3 months and 6 months, each Lipid Particle Formulation No.1 was batch was analyzed for particle size, PDI, and mRNA encapsulation. The functional delivery of mRNA was evaluated by injecting the formulations into 6-8 week old C57BL/6J mice (20 μg) and comparing the BLI signal of a freshly made batch of Lipid Particle Formulation No.1 with that of the formulation stored at -80°C. [0258] Prior to injections, mouse fur was clipped along the left lateral aspect of the abdomen up to the spine in order to highlight both splenic and liver expression fields. Mice were injected intravenously via tail vein with 100 μL Lipid Particle Formulation No.1 containing equivalent to 20 μg firefly luciferase mRNA. After 6 h, mice were administered 200 μL D-luciferin (3 mg/mouse) via intraperitoneal injection (i.p), anaesthetized using isofluorane and imaged within 10 min using a LICOR Pearl imager. Images were obtained in right lateral recumbency under 3% isofluorane for anaesthetic maintenance. LICOR settings: BLI and White channels only, 85um resolution, focus at 0. The bioluminescent intensity (BLI) values were determined using the Image Studio software, version 5.2.5 from LICOR. Regions of interest were drawn around organs (e.g spleen or liver) using software tools and the corresponding bioluminescence intensity (BLI) signal was calculated by the software after subtracting background values. Data were reported as spleen BLI values, liver BLI values, and spleen to liver ratio (i.e the ratio obtained by dividing the BLI value in spleen by the BLI value in the liver of the same animal). [0259] As shown in FIGs.30A-30D, Lipid Particle Formulation No.1 stock retains its original critical quality attributes (size, PDI and mRNA encapsulation). Additionally, as shown in FIGs.31A-31C, Lipid Particle Formulation No.1 maintains functional delivery upon long term storage at -80°C for 6 months. The spleen specificity is also maintained.
Example 29. Lipid Particle Formulation No.1 stored at 4°C for 1 month retains original critical quality attributes and functional mRNA delivery in vivo [0260] Lipid Particle Formulation No.1 was formulated and analyzed for particle size, PDI and mRNA encapsulation. The functional delivery of mRNA was evaluated by injecting the formulations into 6-8 week old C57BL/6J mice (20 μg mRNA). This was the first time point for evaluation (T=0, 4°C). [0261] Prior to injections with Lipid Particle Formulation No.1, the mouse fur was clipped along the left lateral aspect of the abdomen up to the spine in order to highlight both splenic and liver expression fields. Mice were injected intravenously via tail vein with 100 μL of Lipid Particle Formulation No.1 containing equivalent to 20 μg firefly luciferase mRNA. After 6 h, mice were administered 200 μL D-luciferin (3 mg/mouse) via intraperitoneal injection (i.p), anaesthetized using isofluorane and imaged within 10 min using a LICOR Pearl imager. Images were obtained in right lateral recumbency under 3% isofluorane for anaesthetic maintenance. LICOR settings: BLI and White channels only, 85um resolution, focus at 0. The bioluminescent intensity (BLI) values were determined using the Image Studio software, version 5.2.5 from LICOR. Regions of interest were drawn around organs (e.g spleen or liver) using software tools and the corresponding bioluminescence intensity (BLI) signal was calculated by the software after subtracting background values. Data were reported as spleen BLI values, liver BLI values and spleen to liver ratio (i.e the ratio obtained by dividing the BLI value in spleen by the BLI value in the liver of the same animal). The formulation was stored at 4°C for a month and reanalyzed for CQAs as well as functional mRNA delivery as mentioned above. At the 1-month (T=1m, 4°C) time point a freshly made batch of Lipid Particle Formulation No.1 (fresh) served as the control. [0262] As shown in FIGs.32A-32F and FIGs.33A-33C, Lipid Particle Formulation No.1 stock retains its original critical quality attributes (size, PDI and mRNA encapsulation) as well as functional mRNA delivery when stored at 4°C for up to a month. The spleen specificity is also maintained Example 30. EAE Method [0263] C57BL/6J were injected subcutaneously with 200 μL total MOG/CFA containing roughly 200 μg MOG35-55 under isoflurane anesthesia. For this, two injections of 100 μL were placed on the hind flanks just adjacent to the spinal column. Animals were placed back into their
cages for 3 hours and then injected via the i.p. route with 100 μL PBS containing 150 ng PTX/mouse (day 0). One day later, they were again injected via the i.p route with 100 μL PBS containing 150 ng PTX/mouse (day 1). The animals were injected with Lipid Particle Formulation No.1 containing MOG, MOG/IL-10, or a control mRNA (enhanced Green Fluorescent Protein (“eGFP”)). Naïve mice did not receive any treatments. One group of mice was administered MOG/IL-10 subcutaneously (on the back). They were administered two doses of Lipid Particle Formulation No.1 on day 7 and day 10. [0264] Starting from day 10 the mice were monitored for signs of disease and scored daily until day 16 (at the peak of EAE). On day 16 the mice were sacrificed using CO2 euthanasia and intracardial perfusion with 10-15 mL of PBS. The spleens were harvested, followed by 2 x inguinal lymph nodes (LN) and 2 x brachial/axillary LNs, and kept on ice in PBS. The dissection of the full spinal columns was performed with decapitation just below the cerebellum, and spinal columns were flushed from the distal end with a 19G needle containing PBS. All spinal columns were also kept in PBS on ice until all animals were taken down. The ppleens were weighed and subjected to gentleMACS dissociation in 5 mL MACS buffer. LNs were also kept on ice in a 48 well plate. [0265] Next, spinal cords were weighed and digested for 20 min at +37°C in 2.5 mL Multi Tissue Dissociation Kit I per spinal cord and kept on ice. All tissues were crushed with the blunt end of a syrine plunger and filtered through a 70 μm filter mesh with MACS buffer, then washed and spun for 5 min at 500 xg. LNs were resuspended to 2 mL MACS buffer. Spleens were subject to a 2 min RBC lysis with ACK lysing buffer, followed by topping up with MACS buffer to 10 mL, washed, and then resuspended to 5 mL MACS buffer. Spinal cords were resuspended in 4 mL of 30% Percoll/PBS mixture with a P1000 pipette tip in a 15 mL conical tube. Then, borosilicate glass Pasteur pipettes were placed into each 15 mL conical tube. To underlay for Percoll gradient, 70% Percoll/PBS mixture was pipetted into the borosiicate glass Pasteur pipette (starting with 2 mL) slowly, taking care not to disrupt the cell suspension during the underlying process. Then, a final 1 mL was pipetted into the borosilicate glass Pasteur pipette for 3 mL total. Each glass pipette was carefully taken out of the Percoll gradient suspension ensuring that the underlaid layer reached 3 mL in the 15 mL conical tube. The suspensions were spun at room temperature for 20 min at 690 xg to separate the mononuclear cell layer in the center of the conical tube from neuronal debris. The top of the Percoll suspension was aspirated out until about ~1 mL of volume above the mononuclear cell layer. Then, mononuclear cells containing the
leukocyte fraction from the CNS were pipetted into a separate 15 mL conical tube and topped up with PBS to roughly 13-14 mL total. All tubes were inverted to mix the spinal cord samples, and then cells were pelleted by spinning at 520 x g for 6 min. Spinal cord mononuclear cells were resuspended in MACS buffer at 150 μL per tube and all sample was placed into a separate 96 well RB plate for flow staining. [0266] The splenocytes and LN cells were all pipetted into a Nexcelom 96 well plate (20 μL per well) and cells were counted by 1:1 resuspenion with AOPI viability dye and counted via the Cellaca. [0267] Volumes correlating to 6-8 million cells were pipetted into 1.5 mL microcentrifuge tubes and cells were pelleted for SP and LN cells. Then, cell pellets were resuspended in MACS buffer at 600-800 μL per sample for a concentration of 1 million cells/0.1 mL. Then, 2 million cells corresponding to 0.2 mL from each tube were distributed into the 96 well RB plate for staining for flow cytometric analyses. FMOs were set up accordingly by pooling cells from the MOG/IL10HA groups and then redistributing at 2 million cells per well. [0268] All cells were washed and then first subject to viability staining by addition of 100 μL PBS containing 1:500 Zombie Aqua and 1:100 FcX Plus and incubated for 15 min at room temperature (R.T.). Cells were then washed and resuspended in 50 μL MACS buffer containing 1:10 dilution of MOG 35-55 I-Ab Tetramer PE (MBL International) and incubated at R.T. in the dark for 45 minutes. At the 45 minute mark, the remaining 50 μL of MACS buffer mixture containing cell surface marker antibodies was added per well and the samples were incubated for 20 min at R.T. in the dark. After washing with MACS buffer, cells were fixed with eBioscience Foxp3 Transcription Factor Buffer Set Fix/Perm reagent for 30 min at R.T. in the dark. Then, cells were washed and resuspended in MACS buffer overnight and kept in the refrigerator overnight. Cells were washed and resuspended in 80 μL 1x Perm Buffer and left at room temperature for 30 min to repermeablize after overnight incubation. For Foxp3 staining, 20 μL containing Foxp3 antibody (1:200 dilution in 100 μL) was added for 100 μL total in 1X Perm Buffer and cells were stained for 30 min at R.T. Cells were then run on the BD Celesta after fresh compensation with beads. [0269] The results are shown in FIGs.35A-35C.
