Angiotensin converting enzyme 2 (ACE2) is a key receptor present on cell surfaces that directly interacts with the viral spike (S) protein of severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus-2 (SARS-CoV-2). It proposed inhibiting this interaction can be promising in treating COVID-19. Here, presence ACE2 extracellular vesicles (EVs) reported and EV-ACE2 levels are determined by palmitoylation. The Cys141 Cys498 residues S-palmitoylated zinc finger DHHC-Type Palmitoyltransferase 3 (ZDHHC3) de-palmitoylated acyl thioesterase 1 (LYPLA1), which critical for membrane-targeting their EV secretion. Importantly, fusing S-palmitoylation-dependent plasma membrane (PM) targeting sequence ACE2, EVs enriched surface (referred to as PM-ACE2-EVs) engineered. shown PM-ACE2-EVs bind SARS-CoV-2 S-RBD high affinity block its vitro. show neutralization potency against pseudotyped authentic human (hACE2) transgenic mice, efficiently load SARS-CoV-2, thus protect host SARS-CoV-2-induced lung inflammation. study provides an efficient engineering protocol constructing promising, novel biomaterial application prophylactic therapeutic treatments

In spite of the successful use monoclonal antibodies (mAbs) in clinic for tumor treatment, their applications are still hampered therapeutic development due to limitations, such as penetration and high cost manufacture. Nanobody, a single domain antibody that holds strong antigen targeting binding capacity, has demonstrated various advantages relative antibody. Nanobody is considered next-generation antibody-derived tool related recognition modulation. A number nanobodies have been developed evaluated different stages clinical trials cancer treatment. Here we summarized current progress nanobody diagnosis therapeutics, particularly on conjugation with functional moieties. The diagnostic agents, radionuclide optical tracers, can achieve specific imaging. nanobody-drug conjugates enhance efficacy anti-tumor drugs reduce adverse effects. decoration nanodrug delivery systems further improve drug tumors.

Abstract Monoclonal antibodies have emerged as key therapeutics. In particular, nanobodies, small, single-domain that are naturally expressed in camelids, rapidly gaining momentum following the approval of first nanobody drug 2019. Nonetheless, development these biologics therapeutics remains a challenge. Despite availability established vitro directed-evolution technologies relatively fast and cheap to deploy, gold standard for generating therapeutic discovery from animal immunization or patients. Immune-system-derived tend favourable properties vivo, including long half-life, low reactivity with self-antigens toxicity. Here we present AbNatiV, deep learning tool assessing nativeness is, their likelihood belonging distribution immune-system-derived human camelid nanobodies. AbNatiV is multipurpose accurately predicts Fv sequences any source, synthetic libraries computational design. It provides an interpretable score immunogenicity, residue-level profile can guide engineering nanobodies indistinguishable ones. We further introduce automated humanization pipeline, which applied two Laboratory experiments show AbNatiV-humanized retain binding stability at par better than wild type, unlike humanized using conventional structural residue-frequency analysis. make available downloadable software webserver.
