COMPOSITIONS OF ENGINEERED EXOSOMES AND METHODS OF LOADING LUMINAL EXOSOMES PAY-LOADS

Abstract:

The present invention relates to methods of preparing a therapeutic exosome using proteins newly identified to be enriched in the lumen of exosomes. Specifically, the present invention provides methods of localizing a therapeutic peptide or protein in exosomes. The methods involve generation of lumen-engineered exosomes that include one or more of the exosome proteins at higher concentrations, a modification or a fragment of the exosome protein, or a fusion protein of the exosome protein and a therapeutic or cargo protein.
