A drug that would therefore guarantee healing from the virus infection in a very short time in 96.6% of cases. If its effectiveness were to be confirmed on a large scale, EXO-CD24 could become the first real drug able to cure Covid- 19. Together with monoclonal antibodies, also approved in Italy, and applied in the treatment of even more serious patients, this promising and effective drug could now arrive (according to the results of the first phase of testing). The drug will now pass to further tests of test, although in Israel it is already considered as a real turning point in the fight against Coronavirus.
of Tel Aviv, would be able to fight the cytokine storm, a life-threatening immune reaction to the coronavirus infection, which affects healthy cells and tends to attack the lungs, and which is believed to be responsible for most of the deaths from Covid -19.
Cytokines are very specific chemical messengers, which act on the target cell, thanks to their affinity to membrane receptors. The functioning is based on the exosomes that the body releases from the cell membrane and uses for intercellular communication. The exosomes are enriched and enhanced with the 24CD protein, known for its effectiveness in regulating the immune system. EXO-CD24 inhibits the excessive secretion of cytokines and is administered directly into the lungs without causing particular side effects. This advanced preparation can be produced quickly and at a very low cost in any pharmaceutical facility. Today in Israel, but, Tel Avic scientists assure, in a short time it could be applied globally.
What are cytokines
Small molecules of a protein nature, capable of binding to specific receptors placed on the membrane and responsible for providing precise instructions to the cells. For this role they are called "molecular words". Cytokines are produced by different types of cells and, once free in the organism, communicate with both neighboring and distant cells and with those of origin, generating various reactions. Generally glycosylated and of low molecular weight, they are secreted basically from monocytes and T lymphocytes, although other non-immune cells produce cytokines, such as: endothelial cells and fibroblasts. Previously, cytokines were named according to the origin of the secretory cell, for example: lymphokines (produced by lymphocytes) monokines (monocytes) or according to their activity: chemokines, interleukins, interferons. Cytokines act locally, both on the cell that produces them (autocrine activity) and on neighboring cells (paracrine activity), rather than on distant cells and tissues of the site where they are produced (endocrine activity).
EXO-CD24 anti Covid-19 formulated in Israel is rapid: it takes just a few minutes and is in no way invasive for the patient undergoing treatment. The medicine is administered by inhalation, once a day, for 5 days. The protein is found on the cell surface and plays a vital role in regulating the immune system, helping to curb the life-threatening cytokine storm. The preparation acts directly on the lungs, the nerve center of the inflammatory reaction, so unlike other formulas that selectively retain a certain cytokine or operate widely but cause many serious side effects, EXO-CD24 is administered locally..
