General information

PDA@Exosome is a nanoparticle formulation derived from hACE2-expressing 293T cells. The nanoparticles contain polydopamine (with antioxidant properties), which has been coated by exosome membrane in the process of exocytosis. PDA@Exosome has been shown to be biocompatible, to bind SARS-CoV-2 Spike protein in vitro, and to reduce Spike-induced lung inflammation in an animal model (Ma et al., 2022).

The formulation was biocompatible. It displayed antioxidative properties and competitively bound SARS-CoV-2 Spike protein in vitro. In a murine model of Spike protein-induced lung inflammation, transtracheal injection of the formulation decreased inflammation and tissue damage.
