Novel antibody against TMX2 and its effects on breast cancer cells.
Article in International journal of biochemistry and molecular biology, 2020. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
Although monoclonal antibodies are promising, a truly fully human antibody is yet to be produced. 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.
