All about Kyle...
Kyle was born in 1987 in Tallahassee, Florida, to Chinese parents. Kyle was a
very active teenager who loved music. At 14, Kyle began to feel pain in his knee
joint and started developing a limp. Soon after the onset of this pain, Kyle began
feeling tired and started to lose weight. Kyle was soon diagnosed with
Osteosarcoma, the most common bone cancer in children and teenagers. Kyle
was treated with chemotherapy and surgery. There was no history of cancer in
Kyle’s family. Kyle’s cancer had not spread to other parts of the body, and the
surgery removed all of the cancerous cells. Kyle is now 21 and is in his junior year
at Florida State University.
Milk Be Gone (MGB)
Milk Be Gone (MBG) is a specifically designed monoclonal
antibody which is designed for osteosarcoma patients.
Scientists designed this mAb to promote bone growth due to
its properties which tag cancer cells so the body can know
where apoptosis needs to take place. This is through (MBG)
monoclonal antibody which attaches itself on the antibody
which then when inserted into the body can attach to
antigens and flag the cell.
Administration and Target Cell Delivery

(MBG) is administered intravenously Because antibodies are large proteins,


through a vein. They circulate in the blood they can not pass through cellular
and other bodily fluids defending against membranes. Instead they attach on the
bacteria and viruses searching outside of these membranes to bind to

binding of the MBG antibody to the
antigen triggers an immune response to
engulf and destroy the antigens. However,

chemotherapy treatments to fight cancer.
Intracellular Treatment and Destruction

The Use of (MBG) in Youth in
Osteosarcoma
This trial will focus on the use of the monoclonal antibody
used in MBG to see if it can produce bone growth and tag the
proper cancerous cells to trigger apoptosis and cancerous
cell death. It will use an intravenous injection of MBG
monoclonal antibodies to effectively travel and target
osteosarcoma cancer cells in an effort to trigger cancerous
cell death in lower extremity bone cancer.

because the antibody would have flagged
