PF-06281355 (Synonyms: PF-06281355)

Kinase experiment:

Plates are coated with the MPO capture antibody (1:200) overnight at 4°C, washed with PBS, and then nonspecific binding blocked with PBS/1% BSA. Plasma or peritoneal exudate samples are diluted 1:4 in PBS and 50 μL is added to triplicate wells for 1 hour at room temperature. Plates are washed three times with PBS containing 0.05% Tween, followed by PBS ishes. Assay buffer (50 μL containing 50 nM phosphate buffer, pH 7.4, containing 140 mM NaCl, 10 mM Na2NO2, 40 μM Amplex Red, and 10 μM H2O2) is added with kinetic reads and an excitation/emission wavelength of 530/580 nm on a fluorescence plate reader. Assay linearity is typically maintained for >300 seconds (R2 > 0.99) and Vmax represented by the change in relative fluorescence units divided by time to yield MPO activity. Active MPO is back-calculated using purified human MPO standard.

Animal experiment:

Animals receive an intraperitoneal injection of 4% thioglycollate broth in phosphate-buffered saline (PBS) for neutrophil recruitmen. Twenty hours later, PF-1355 or vehicle (1% hydroxypropyl methylcellulose, 0.5% 2-amino-2-hydroxymethyl-propane-1,3-diol, 0.5% hypromellose acetate succinate, pH 9.5) is administered p.o., followed by intraperitoneal administration of opsonized zymosan or saline. After 3 hours, the mice are euthanized and receive intraperitoneal injection of 2 mL cold PBS. Blood is collected and animals are shaken vigorously before the collection of peritoneal lavage.
