Abstract
Given developing resistance of tumor cells to current chemotherapeutic and targeted therapeutic agents, novel cancer therapies with enhanced potency and specificity are substantially required. Applicant has provided herein extracellular nanoparticle vesicles that redirect immune effector cells towards cancer cells for killing. Relative to conventional immunotherapeutic antibodies with defined orientation and geometry for their distinct antigen-binding arms, antibodies displayed on spherical exosomes can promote formation of immunological synapses as well as enhanced efficacy to activate immune cells.
