Introduction</h2><p>The complement present in plasma is a group of approximately 30 proteins which are produced by the liver. Plasma complement plays an important role in innate immunity and promotes adaptive immunity against pathogens. Activation of plasma complement may occur in response to a drug product. Such undesirable activation results in immediate-type hypersensitivity reactions independent of immunoglobulin E. These reactions are often referred to as Complement Activation Related Pseudoallergy (CARPA). Although CARPA has been observed in the clinic with various types of drug products, nanoformulations, and especially PEGylated liposomes, are frequent causes of CARPA in patients [<a class="bk_pop" href="#ncipr25.ref1">1</a>, <a class="bk_pop" href="#ncipr25.ref2">2</a>].</p><p>Activation of plasma complement is initiated via three main pathways, the classical, the alternative and the lectin pathway, all of which converge at the complement component 3 (C3) to form a common, terminal pathway leading to the formation of the membrane attack complex [<a class="bk_pop" href="#ncipr25.ref3">3</a>]. Cleavage of C3, C4 and C5 components of the plasma complement results in generation of several split products, C3a, C4a, and C5a, which are also known as anaphylatoxins. The anaphylatoxins are the main triggers of the symptoms observed in CARPA. The larger split products (C3b, C4b, and C5b) are opsonins which bind to and accelerate the clearance of pathogens.</p><p>Recently, the concept of complement has been expanded to include so-called intracellular complement [<a class="bk_pop" href="#ncipr25.ref4">4</a>]. The complement protein C3 has been found in many cells including lymphocytes, monocytes, endothelial and even cancer cells. The activation of intracellular complement generates split products which are exported from the cell onto the membrane. Since the activation of intracellular complement in T-lymphocytes was found to correlate with autoimmune disorders [<a class="bk_pop" href="#ncipr25.ref4">4</a>], and growing evidence is available for the involvement of T-lymphocytes in the development of drug-induced hypersensitivity reactions [<a class="bk_pop" href="#ncipr25.ref5">5</a>], understanding the ability of nanomaterials to activate intracellular complement may aid in establishing long-term safety profiles for these materials.</p></div><div id="ncipr25.s2"><h2 id="_ncipr25_s2_">2. Principles</h2><p>This assay has been adapted from the original study described by Liszewski, et al., [<a class="bk_pop" href="#ncipr25.ref4">4</a>] and optimized to support nanoparticle screening. Human peripheral blood mononuclear cells are treated with nanoparticles and controls, and the presence of the complement split products on the cell surface is then monitored by flow cytometry. Although the gating strategy used in this protocol is specific to CD3-positive lymphocytes (T-cells), this protocol can be adjusted to detect intracellular complement on the surface of other cells. The assay requires 400 &#x000b5;L of the test nanomaterial at a concentration determined through previous cytotoxicity testing of the nanomaterial. The details of nanoparticle concentration selection are provided in <a href="#ncipr25.lt33">section 4.2</a> of the protocol.</p></div><div id="ncipr25.s3"><h2 id="_ncipr25_s3_">3.

Therefore, there is no standard concentration for this test. Each nanomaterial should be evaluated for cytotoxicity before analyzing in this assay. To achieve this, titrate nanoparticles in peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMC) starting with the highest reasonable/achievable concentration to select the highest concentration which results in cell viability no less than 80% upon 1 hr incubation with the nanomaterial. Trypan blue exclusion test, MTT, 7-ADD, Cellometer or other relevant cell viability assays can be used for this purpose. Since the dilution factor for this assay is 5, the stock concentration of nanoparticle required for the test should be 5 times higher than this concentration. For example, if the cell viability test determined that the highest non-toxic concentration of nanoparticles in PBMC is 0.1 mg/mL, then you will need 400 &#x000b5;L of a nanoparticle stock at a concentration 0.5 mg/mL. Two hundred (200) &#x000b5;L of this stock will be used directly to treat the cells, and the rest of the material will be used to prepare three serial 1:5 dilutions of this stock. In this example, the final concentrations tested in the assay will be 0.1, 0.02, 0.004 and 0.0008 mg/mL. If a test-nanomaterial is loaded with a cytotoxic drug, the concentrations should reflect the drug and the carrier concentrations. It is also important to include a carrier control.</p></dd><dt>4.3.</dt><dd id="ncipr25.lt34"><p class="no_top_margin">Heat-inactivated fetal bovine serum</p><p>Thaw a bottle of FBS at room temperature or overnight at 2-8&#x000b0;C and allow to equilibrate to room temperature.
