The present invention relates to a composition including gut flora-derived extracellular vesicles, and to an animal disease model using same. In addition, the present invention relates to a method for using the gut flora-derived extracellular vesicles to efficiently search for a candidate drug which may prevent or treat diseases that occur due to gut flora-derived extracellular vesicles, and to a vaccine which can efficiently prevent or treat infections caused by gut flora or diseases that occur due to gut flora-derived extracellular vesicles. Further, the development of diagnostic technology to discover, using the gut flora-derived extracellular vesicles of the present invention, the etiology of diseases that occur due to gut flora-derived extracellular vesicles, can be achieved.
本发明涉及一种包括源自肠道菌群的细胞外囊泡的组合物,以及使用该组合物的动物疾病模型。此外,本发明还涉及一种使用肠道菌群衍生的胞外囊泡来有效寻找候选药物的方法,该候选药物可预防或治疗因肠道菌群衍生的胞外囊泡而发生的疾病;本发明还涉及一种疫苗,该疫苗可有效预防或治疗由肠道菌群引起的感染或因肠道菌群衍生的胞外囊泡而发生的疾病。此外,还可以开发诊断技术,利用本发明的肠道菌群源性细胞外囊泡发现因肠道菌群源性细胞外囊泡引起的疾病的病因。
