Agrisera antibodies used to show how plant derived photosynthetic neo-organelles can provide energy input into mammalian metabolic systems

A group of researchers from China and Singapore has recently published data showing how light-reaction enriched thylakoid NADPH-foundry (LEAF) introduced to mammalian corneal cells enables them to reduce reactive oxygen species.

1.5 billion people are suffering from eye disease called keratoconjunctivities sicca (KS), which is a multifactorial ocular surface disorder characterized by disrupted tear film homeostasis, leading to discomfort and pain as well as impaired visual function.

LEAF enabled photosynthesized NADPH production that restored redox homeostasis and counteracted disease associated inflammation.

Their work showed that plant-derived photosynthetic neo-organelles provide an energy input to mammalian metabolic systems in the cross-kingdom, endosymbiosis-like interaction.

Agrisera Antibodies to photosynthetic proteins, and proteins involved in oxidative stress response were used in this study.
