Current human antibodies have the human sequence, but are produced in either transgenic animals or in phages. The aim of this paper was to produce a truly human antibody directed against an epitope of our choice, secreted by human plasma cells. The target protein was TMX2 one of the least studied disulfide isomerases. IgG and anti-TMX2 antibody were determined by both Elisa and western blot. TMX2 KD was evaluated by Surface Plasmon Resonance. TMX2 localization was determined by flow cytometry in MCF-7 cells. Efficiency was evaluated by MTT. Gene expression was evaluated by PCR. We have managed to produce two fully human antibodies directed against TMX2 protein. TMX2 protein was found both in the cytoplasm and cell membrane of breast cancer cells. RGCC TMX2 antibody recognizing an extracellular epitope increased cell proliferation. RGCC TMX2 antibody recognizing an intracellular epitope decreased cell proliferation and gene expression related to cancer survival, differentiation and metastasis. These findings suggest this platform is very promising for novel personalized therapies. TMX2 could be a novel target for cancer treatment.</p>","PeriodicalId":13891,"journal":{"name":"International journal of biochemistry and molecular biology","volume":"11 1","pages":"1-10"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-02-15","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC7076318/pdf/ijbmb0011-0001.pdf","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"37771148","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

But this vision is plainly wrong. We now know that we are a coherent mix of all kinds of life, running from unicellular microorganisms to pluricellular organisms, which form part and parcel of what can be called human being. We are “holobionts” and as such the multiplicity of cells and viruses belonging to all kingdoms of life collaborate in an equilibrium that if perturbed can cause disease. The ancient medicines (including Western Constitutional Medicine [WCM]) adopted this way of thinking and the ancient observers sagely imprinted their medicinal systems with this holistic view of life for which disease has to be contrasted with a return to equilibrium. And the ancient medicines used as primary tool the correction of the diet seen as the restoration of the equilibrium between the energies (microorganisms) in the body. More recently a new medicinal system the ABO groups has taken a stronger stand in the scientific arena through the experimental confirmation of its main mechanism of action by glycosciences (especially glycobiology). Necessarily, bacteria, fungi and other unicellular organisms can feed off on glycans which are both produced and absorbed by the human body (diet) and the suitable balance of diet will interfere in this cycle. It is now the time to capture all these advances in ancient and modern medicine and fuse them into a new medicinal system, the ABO-WCM biotypology, to better explain the reality of the holobiont and to completely transform modern science into a truly personalized approach.","PeriodicalId":13891,"journal":{"name":"International journal of biochemistry and molecular biology","volume":"18 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"78891625","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

It is distributed in tropical and subtropical region of Nepal. The seeds are bitter in taste and used for an anthelmintic. The plant possesses importance in agroforestry due to their nitrogen fixing capability. Plants are used for reforestration mostly on slope areas. The seeds were surface sterilized and cultured on half strength Murashige and Skoog (1962) (MS) medium. Nodal explants obtained from cultured were subcultured on different concentrations of N-Benzyl-9-(2-tetrahydropyranyl) (BPA) and Indole-3-acetic acid (IAA). The best proliferation of nodes and shoots were observed on the MS medium supplemented with 0.5 μM BPA and 0.5 μM IAA. After 8 weeks of culture the propagated plants were acclimatized and transferred to the sand box containing 1:1 soil and sand. Well rooted plants were then established in the field. All the data collected were worked out statistically with SPSS, a system of analytical procedure.","PeriodicalId":13891,"journal":{"name":"International journal of biochemistry and molecular biology","volume":"20 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"86675864","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
