Figure 1.
MPN disease parameters upon 3 weeks of treatment using an αTNFR2 antibody. JAK2+/VF mice were treated intraperitoneally, 5.0 mg/kg body weight, 2 times a week for 3 weeks with an anti-mouse TNFR2 antibody (clone TR75-54.7) or polyclonal Armenian Hamster IgG as control antibody. Blood counts were analyzed weekly during the treatment phase. All mice were 12 to 13 weeks old at the end of therapy JAK2WT and JAK2+/VF mice were age matched (11-15 weeks). (A-F) HCT and blood count analysis of untreated JAK2+/VF mice (n = 15), JAK2WT mice (n = 14), and JAK2+/VF mice treated with αTNFR2 antibody (n = 5) or IgG (n = 4). (B) Change in HCT (ΔHCT) in αTNFR2-treated mice and corresponding control group. Differences between HCT at the start and end of treatment in αTNFR2-treated mice and IgG-treated controls (ΔHCT = HCTEnd − HCTStart). (G) Spleen weights for untreated JAK2+/VF mice (n = 11), JAK2WT mice (n = 10), and JAK2+/VF mice treated with αTNFR2 antibody (n = 5) or IgG (n = 4). (H) Representative photographs of spleens from untreated control mice (n = 3) and JAK2+/VF mice (n = 6) treated with αTNFR2 antibody (n = 2) or IgG (n = 2). *P < .05, **P < .01, ***P < .001 ****P < .0001.
