Procedures were performed essentially as described [25 (link),32 (link),33 (link)]. Immunodetection was carried out with the following primary antibodies: mouse anti-human CD63 (Abcam ab23792), mouse anti-human CD9, or mouse anti-human CD81 (both from Dr E. Rubinstein, Université Paris-Sud, Institut André Lwoff, Villejuif, France). Secondary incubation was performed with a rabbit anti mouse Fc fragment (Dako Agilent Z0412), then grids were incubated with Protein A-Gold 10 nm (Cell Microscopy Center, Department of Cell Biology, Utrecht University). All samples were observed with a Tecnai Spirit electron microscope (FEI, Eindhoven, The Netherlands), and digital acquisitions were made with a numeric 4k CCD camera (Quemesa, Olympus, Münster, Germany). Images were analysed with iTEM software (EMSIS) and statistical studies were done with GraphPad Prism software (v8).
