ADU-S100 (ML RR-S2 CDA) (Synonyms: MIW815; ML RR-S2 CDA)

Cell experiment:

Cryopreserved hPBMCs are thawed and 1×106 cells per well are plated in a 96 well plate in RPMI media. Cells are stimulated with 10 μM ADU-S100 or ML cGAMP for 6 hours and supernatants are harvested. Supernatants are diluted 1:2 and assayed for IFN-α protein using Cytometric Bead Array (CBA) Human Flex Set. Data is collected using a FACSVerse cytometer and analyzed by FCAP Array Software[1].

Animal experiment:

Mice[1]WT C57BL/6 mice are inoculated with 5×104 B16.F10 cells in the left flank (n=8). When tumor volumes are 100 mm3 mice receive three IT doses of either ML RR-S2 CDG (25 μg), ADU-S100 (50 μg), or HBSS as control. WT C57BL/6 mice are inoculated with 5×104 B16.F10 cells in the left flank (n=5). When tumor volumes are 100 mm3 they received three IT doses of ADU-S100 at 5, 25, 50 or 100 μg or HBSS as control. WT C57BL/6 mice are inoculated with 5×104 B16.F10 cells in the left flank (n=8). When tumor volumes are 100 mm3 they receive three IT doses of 100 μg ADU-S100 or HBSS as control. Treatments are administered on days 13, 17 and 20 and tumor measurements are taken twice weekly. Results are shown as percent survival by Log-rank (Mantel-Cox) test (A and C)[1].
