  • Publication number: 20230390382
    Abstract: Disclosed herein are methods, systems, compositions and strategies for the creation and use WW-domain-Activated Extracellular Vesicles (WAEVs) for presenting HIV antigen domains. These WAEVs can be harnessed to deliver and present HIV antigens useful for vaccine development. Specifically, the disclosure provides a fusion protein comprising: (a) a WW-containing domain; (b) a transmembrane domain; and (c) an extracellular domain, wherein the extracellular domain is an HIV antigen domain. Further provided are sequences of each domain as well as methods of producing and using the fusion protein.
