We used 10 K MWCO buffer exchange tubes and centrifuged samples at 12000 g for 10 min to remove free unlabeled dye. Labelled EVAvo (2 or 10 μg/mL) was then added to macrophages and their uptake by the cells at different time points was visualized by fluorescence microscopy (Zeiss Axio Observer, White Plains, NY).

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.
