    ATCC tmprss2 activating protease
    Monovalent and bivalent 7F constructs neutralize authentic SARS-CoV-2 in <t>A549</t> cells and HAE cell cultures and authentic SARS-CoV in Vero cells. A . Neutralization of SARS-CoV-2 in A549 <t>ACE2+TMPRSS2+</t> cells. Virus was pre-incubated with serial diluted nanobody, or 10 µM remdesivir, for 30 min before infecting A549 ACE2+TMPRSS2+ cells. Infection was quantified by measuring the virus yield (viral RNA copies/ml, as determined with RT-qPCR) in cell culture supernatants of SARS-CoV-2 infected cells. B . Neutralization of SARS-CoV-2 in HAE cell culture. HAE cultures were incubated with SARS-CoV-2 and 100 nM nanobodies or 10 µM remdesivir on the apical side for 2 h. Nanobody incubation was repeated every 24 h. Graph showing the quantification of viral replication in the cultures, evaluated by RT-qPCR. C . Neutralization of SARS-CoV in Vero cells. Virus was pre-incubated with serial diluted nanobody, or 10 µM remdesivir, for 30 min before infecting Vero cells. Infection was quantified by measuring the virus yield (viral RNA copies/ml, as determined with RT-qPCR) in cell culture supernatants of SARS-CoV infected cells

    FIGURE 1 (A) Graphical overview of the experimental set-up, starting with the isolation of seminal fluid extracellular vesicles (SF-EVs) from leftover semen samples via ultracentrifugation and size-exclusion chromatography. The purified SF-EV stocks showed distinctive <t>TMPRSS2</t> enzyme activity and were characterised for size distribution via nanoparticle tracking analysis (NTA) and transmission electron microscopy (TEM). Then, we confirmed surface-exposed TMPRSS2 on the SF-EVs via high-sensitivity flow cytometry, triggering us to develop an SF-EV based in vitro screening assay for TMPRSS2-inhibitors. (B) Architecture of TMPRSS2. Native TMPRSS2 constitutes the N-terminal cytoplasmic, the transmembrane, the LDL- receptor class A, the scavenger receptor cysteine-rich and the peptidase S1 domains. The recombinant TMPRSS2 (dasTMPRSS2, 44 kDa) constitutes the LDL-receptor class A, the scavenger receptor cysteine-rich, the peptidase S1 domain (26 kDa) and an AviTag and C-terminal 8xHIS-tag (not shown), with the enterokinase-cleavable sequence DDDDK255 at the red dot replacing the native SRQSR255 amino acid sequence.

    FIGURE 5 Detection of TMPRSS2 in the seminal fluid-derived extracellular vesicle preparations. The detected TMPRSS2 band perfectly matches the theoretical weight of the Peptidase S1 domain (26 kDa) as calculated with ExPASy ProtParam, with the less prominent band probably arising due to off-target auto-activation of the protein (Gasteiger et al. 2005). The band detected in the PC3 cells most closely correlates to the extracellular topological domain of TMPRSS2 and can also slightly be detected in the SF-EVs. A molecular weight ladder (Std) was loaded on each gel. Std, PageRuler Plus Prestained Protein Ladder; EV, seminal-fluid extracellular vesicles; PC3, prostate cancer cell lysate.
