“…In order to show that this nanocapsule platform improves brain delivery efficiency of therapeutic antibodies through systemic injection without inducing liver toxicity, three liver enzymes indicating acute liver toxicity were closely measured over the course of experiments: alanine aminotransferase (ALT), aspartate aminotransferase (AST), and alkaline phosphatase (ALP) ( Figure 5A). As we confirmed in mice previously (34), no notable differences exist in levels between animals treated with RTX or n-RTX. Neither a complete liver function assay including serum globulin (GLB), indirect bilirubin (IBIL), gamma-glutamyl transferase (γ-GT), total protein (TP), and albumin (ALB), nor a blood chemistry test for white blood cell (WBC) count, lymphocyte count, monocyte count, neutrophil count, hemoglobin (HGB), hematocrit (HCT), and platelet counts (PLT), showed major differences between those animals ( Figure S2).…”
