SBI - XPack™ Exosome Protein Packing
The XPack technology allows for cell-mediated generation of ready to use exosomes packed with any protein of choice. These exosomes can then be used to efficiently deliver proteins to target cells to alter or supplement biological pathways or be used to study exosome trafficking in vivo.
- Package reporter proteins into secreted exosomes to track cargo delivery
- Express and package any protein to create biotherapeutic exosomes
- Generate bioluminescent exosomes for tracking delivery in vivo
- Create stable cell lines producing XPack exosomes with any protein cargo

SBI Webinar: New XPack™ Technology to Engineer Exosome Protein Cargo
Date: April 2nd, 2015 at 1pm EDT
The XPack technology developed by SBI allows researchers to insert any protein of interest into exosomes as cargo to be delivered to target cells. A suite of XPack reporter vectors enable tracking of exosome dynamics using fluorescence or luminescence assays, and XPack delivered proteins are shown to be functional within recipient cells. XPack reporters and other desired fusions are available in a lentivector backbone or as lentiviral particles ready for cell transduction, enabling users to generate stable cell lines constantly secreting exosomes packaged with the protein of interest.

TECHNICAL REPORT
How to Purify a Membrane Protein – by Anatrace
Membrane protein studies have advanced significantly over the past few years. This is partly due to advances in tools and reagents used to manipulate this class of proteins. Detergents play an essential role in the extraction, purification, and manipulation of membrane proteins; their amphiphilic nature allows them to interact with hydrophobic membrane proteins to keep them water-soluble outside of their native bilayer environment.
