A method for isolation of exosomes from bovine colostrum powder or goat colostrum powder, and the use of the isolated exosomes as nano carriers for small drug molecules, is described. Exosomes isolated from bovine colostrum powder averaged <85 nm in size, carried the surface-bound protein markers, Alix, TSG101, CD63 and CD81, and accepted various lipophilic (curcumin, withaferin A, paclitaxel) and hydrophilic (anthocyanidins) agents to serve as a nano carrier. |
