Extracellular Vesicle Characterization Protocol

As suggested by the International Society of Extracellular Vesicles (ISEV), a guideline for standardized characterization of particular EVs has been proposed [25 (link)], leading to further reproducible information through different studies. In this study, the protein markers and morphologies of the isolated samples were evaluated. The proteins in EVs were dissolved in RIPA buffer. The solution was boiled at 95 °C for 5 min and then the mixture was spined at 10,000g for 5 min to obtain the clean protein solution. The solution was loaded onto an SDS-PAGE gel (5% stacking gel, 12% running gel, Bio-Rad). After electrophoresis and transferring, the polyvinylidene fluoride (PVEF) membrane (Bio-Rad, Munich, Germany) was incubated with 0.1% BSA in TBST at room temperature for 1 h. The primary antibody was added onto the membrane and incubated at 4 °C for 12 h. After washing, the secondary antibody was incubated with the membrane at room temperature for another 1 h. The membrane was rinsed for three times. Finally, the membrane was detected under the ChemiDoc XRS imaging system (Bio-Rad, Munich, Germany) using an enhanced chemiluminescence (ECL) system (Thermo Scientific, OR, USA). The concentration and size were measured with nanosight (Malvern, UK) and FEI Tecnai™ T12 electron microscope (Thermo Scientific, OR, USA).

Transmission Electron Microscopy of Exosomes

The isolated exosomes were processed at room temperature for TEM. The samples were diluted 1:5 in 1X PBS prior to fixation with 2.0 % glutaraldehyde (G5882, Sigma-Aldrich). Following fixation, a 75-mesh grid (G2075C; Agar Scientific, Essex, UK) was laid on a drop of sample for 10 min; the grid was then rinsed 10 times with MiliQ H2O (1 min per rinse). Subsequently, the grid was firstly laid on a drop of uranyl acetate (pH 7.0, 2624; SPI-CHEM, West Chester, PA, USA) for 10 min. After rinsing with Milli-Q H2O and methylcellulose uranyl (pH 4.0), the grid was incubated at room temperature for 10 min on a drop of methylcellulose uranyl (pH 4.0, M-6385, Sigma-Aldrich). The exosome samples were eventually analyzed with a FEI Tecnai™ T12 electron microscope (Thermo Fisher Scientific).

About PubCompare

Our mission is to provide scientists with the largest repository of trustworthy protocols and intelligent analytical tools, thereby offering them extensive information to design robust protocols aimed at minimizing the risk of failures.

We believe that the most crucial aspect is to grant scientists access to a wide range of reliable sources and new useful tools that surpass human capabilities.

However, we trust in allowing scientists to determine how to construct their own protocols based on this information, as they are the experts in their field.
