  • COMPOSITIONS AND METHODS FOR SEQUESTERING VIRAL PARTICLES IN RESPIRATORY TRACT
    Publication number: 20220041660
    Abstract: A composition for sequestering a pathogen, for example, viral particles of a target virus in the respiratory tract of a subject is provided. The composition comprises an effective amount of sequestering particles having a protein binding agent on the surface of the sequestering particles. The protein binding agent binds a pathogenic surface protein, for example, capsid protein on the surface of the viral particles. The sequestering particles and the target pathogen, for example, viral particles, form aggregates. Also provided is the use of the composition for sequestering a target pathogen, for example, viral particles of a target virus, in the respiratory tract of a subject.
