SARS-CoV-2 entry is mediated by binding of the spike protein (S) to the surface receptor ACE2. Engineered extracellular vesicles (EVs) exposing specific antibody fragments, namely nanobodies, are efficient decoys for S protein. EVs may act as a multifunctional vector to reduce SARS-CoV-2 infectivity and simultaneously modulate the inflammatory microenvironment in COVID-19 patients.
严重急性呼吸综合征冠状病毒2(SARS-CoV-2)的进入是由刺突蛋白(S)与表面受体血管紧张素转换酶2(ACE2)结合介导的。暴露特定抗体片段(即纳米抗体)的工程化细胞外囊泡(EVs)是S蛋白的有效诱饵。细胞外囊泡可作为多功能载体,降低SARS-CoV-2的感染性,并同时调节新冠肺炎患者的炎症微环境。
