Current treatments for eosinophilic and mast cell disorders are often ineffective. One promising target to improve outcomes is sialic acid-binding immunoglobulin-like lectin-8 (Siglec-8). As limitations, there are few Siglec-8 monoclonal antibodies (mAbs) available to date, and Siglec-8-directed treatments have so far primarily focused on unconjugated mAbs, which may be inadequate, especially against mast cells.

Protein adsorption onto nanomaterials often results in denaturation and loss of bioactivity. Controlling the adsorption process to maintain the protein structure and function has potential for a range of applications. Here we report that self-assembled poly(propylene sulfone) (PPSU) nanoparticles support the controlled formation of multicomponent enzyme and antibody coatings and maintain their bioactivity.

Background: Sialic acid-binding immunoglobulin-like lectin (Siglec)-6 and Siglec-8 are closely related mast cell (MC) receptors with broad inhibitory activity, but whose functional differences are incompletely understood.
Methods: Proteomic profiling using quantitative mass spectrometry was performed on primary mouse MCs to identify proteins associated with Siglec-6 and Siglec-8. For functional characterization, each receptor was evaluated biochemically and in ex vivo and in vivo inhibition models of IgE and non-IgE-mediated MC activation in Siglec-6- or Siglec-8-expressing transgenic mice.

There is a differential response to eosinophilic modulation between patients with asthma and those with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). There is also evidence of different subtypes of eosinophils in murine models. However, no study has compared eosinophil subtypes in individuals with COPD and in those with asthma.

Background: 10% of US residents have food allergies, including 2% with peanut allergy. Mast cell mediators released during the allergy effector phase drive allergic reactions. Therefore, targeting sensitized mast cells may prevent food allergy symptoms.
