α-hOX40L mAb inhibits HDM-induced asthma in rhesus monkeys.

(A) Experimental design for HDM-induced asthma in rhesus monkeys is shown. Young adult monkeys (n = 6 per group) were sensitized with HDM/alum and boosted periodically with antigen as shown. Monkeys were treated with α-hOX40L mAb LC001 or vehicle control and lung inflammation was analyzed after 22 weeks of treatment. (B) TSLP expression in lung biopsies from unsensitized and HDM-sensitized animals are shown. Percentages of lymphocytes and eosinophils (C), numbers of effector/memory T cells (D), and levels of IL-5 and IL-13 cytokines (E) in the BALF are shown. Effector memory T cell numbers (CD4+CD45RACCR7) were assayed by FACS with propidium iodide exclusion for live cells. (F) Serum antigen-specific IgG titers (Δ, week 16-baseline pretreatment) are also shown. Results are mean ± SD. *P < 0.01 (Dunnett’s test).
