  • Patent number: 11992527
    Abstract: The present disclosure relates to extracellular vesicles (EVs), e.g., exosomes, comprising a payload (e.g., an antigen, adjuvant, and/or immune modulator) and/or a targeting moiety. Also provided herein are methods for producing the EVs (e.g., exosomes) and methods for using the EVs (e.g., exosomes) to treat and/or prevent diseases or disorders, e.g., cancer, graft-versus-host disease (GvHD), autoimmune disease, infectious diseases, or fibrotic diseases.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: October 26, 2022
    Date of Patent: May 28, 2024
    Assignee: LONZA SALES AG
    Inventors: Raymond J. Moniz, Russell E. McConnell, Nikki Ross, Christine McCoy, Timothy J. Soos, Ke Xu
  • Publication number: 20240009322
    Abstract: The present invention relates to methods of preparing a therapeutic exosome using a protein newly-identified to be enriched on the surface of exosomes. Specifically, the present invention provides methods of using the proteins for affinity purification of exosomes. It also provides methods of localizing a therapeutic peptide on exosomes, and targeting exosomes to a specific organ, tissue or cell by using the proteins. The methods involve generation of surface-engineered exosomes that include one or more of the exosome proteins at higher density, or a variant or a fragment of the exosome protein.

  • Publication number: 20230181758
    Abstract: The present disclosure relates to modified extracellular vesicles, e.g., exosomes, comprising a targeting moiety, wherein the targeting moiety can specifically bind to markers expressed on distinct immune cells (e.g., dendritic cells). Also provided herein are methods for using the exosomes to treat and/or prevent a range of medical disorders.
