When the cells were 70-80% confluent, the culture medium was replaced with serum-free DMEM for 48 h. Then, exosomes were extracted from the medium using an ExoQuick-TC exosome isolation kit (SBI, Palo Alto, CA, USA) in accordance with the manufacturer’s protocol. In detail, the serum-free DMEM was collected and centrifuged for cell debris removal. Then, the supernatant was transferred to a sterile vessel, mixed with precipitation solution and incubated at 4° C overnight. On the second day, the mixture was centrifuged, the supernatant was discarded and the exosome pellet was isolated. The exosomes were stored in a -80° C freezer or used immediately for experiments.

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.
