| 17949417 | Different types of in vitro generated human monocyte-derived dendritic cells release exosomes with distinct phenotypes. | In comparison to exosomes from conventional MDDCs, exosomes from IL-4/IL-3-generated MDDCs showed significantly stronger signals for HLA-ABC, HLA-DR, CD11c, CD63 and CD81. |
| 18945959 | Capture and transfer of HIV-1 particles by mature dendritic cells converges with the exosome-dissemination pathway. | Capture of HIV-1, HIV-1 Gag-enhanced green fluorescent protein (eGFP) viral-like particles (VLPs), and exosomes by DCs was up-regulated upon maturation, resulting in localization within a CD81(+) compartment. |
| 20124223 | Hypoxic tumor cell modulates its microenvironment to enhance angiogenic and metastatic potential by secretion of proteins and exosomes. | Ultracentrifugation at 100,000 x g precipitated 54% of the secreted proteins and enriched for many exosome-associated proteins such as the tetraspanins and Alix and also proteins with the potential to facilitate angiogenesis and metastasis. |
| 20138817 | Exosome secreted by MSC reduces myocardial ischemia/reperfusion injury. | They contained coimmunoprecipitating exosome-associated proteins, e.g., CD81, CD9, and Alix. |
| 20880880 | Proinflammatory exosomes in bronchoalveolar lavage fluid of patients with sarcoidosis. | Exosomes from patients showed significantly higher expression of MHC class I and II, tetraspanins CD9, CD63 and CD81 as well as neuregulin-1, known to be associated with cancer progression. |
| 21044087 | Exosomal-like vesicles with immune-modulatory features are present in human plasma and can induce CD4+ T-cell apoptosis in vitro. | Antibodies against exosomes FasL can block the activity of exosomes on CD4+ T-cell apoptosis. Moreover, three different concentrations of CD4+ T cells were inhibited by plasma exosomes and the suppressive function was not dependent on interleukin-2. RESULTS: Vesicles purified from human plasma displayed shapes and sizes similar to those of previously described exosomes and contained exosomes marker proteins CD63 and CD81. |
| 21172122 | RNA-containing exosomes in human nasal secretions. | Flow cytometry of exosomes using anti-major histocompatibility complex class II beads revealed exosomes positive for the tetraspanins CD9, CD63, and CD81. RESULTS: Exosomes were visualized as 40-80 nm, CD63(+) vesicles using EM. Western blot confirmed the presence of exosomal protein and absence of proteins from the endoplasmic reticulum (ER), because the exosomes were positive for Tsg101, but negative for the ER marker, calnexin. |
| 21235781 | Human saliva, plasma and breast milk exosomes contain RNA: uptake by macrophages. | Breast milk exosomes were further analysed for the presence of Hsc70, CD81 and calnexin by Western blot. Flow cytometry was performed by capturing the exosomes on anti-MHC class II coated beads, and further stain with anti-CD9, anti-CD63 or anti-CD81. |
| 21276792 | Morphologic and proteomic characterization of exosomes released by cultured extravillous trophoblast cells. | Ion Trap mass spectrometry demonstrated the presence of exosome marker proteins (including CD81, Alix, cytoskeleton related proteins, and Rab family). |
| 22285593 | Comparison of ultracentrifugation, density gradient separation, and immunoaffinity capture methods for isolating human colon cancer cell line LIM1863-derived exosomes. | Notably, all isolations contained 40-100nm vesicles, and were positive for exosome markers (Alix, TSG101, HSP70) based on electron microscopy and Western blotting. Using the colorectal cancer cell line LIM1863 as a cell model, in this study we performed a comprehensive evaluation of current methods used for exosome isolation including ultracentrifugation (UC-Exos), OptiPrep™ density-based separation (DG-Exos), and immunoaffinity capture using anti-EpCAM coated magnetic beads (IAC-Exos). |
