Sample Preparation and Imaging of Exosomes by Transmission Electron Microscopy.

Transmission electron microscopy is suggested for the imaging of exosomes including negative staining, whole mount immuno-staining, block preparation, thin section, and Immuno-gold labelling, to observe detailed structure.

Immuno-characterization of Exosomes Using Nanoparticle Tracking Analysis.

This chapter describes a method for identifying the size and concentration of a subpopulation of vesicles in biological samples, using nanoparticle tracking analysis, enabled by specific marker antibodies, coupled to fluorescent quantum dots.

Elucidating Methods for Isolation and Quantification of Exosomes: A Review

This comprehensive review discusses the various standard methods such as ultracentrifugation, ultrafiltration, size-exclusion chromatography, precipitation, immunoaffinity, and microfluidic technologies for the isolation of exosomes.

Electron Microscopy-Based Comparison and Investigation of the Morphology of Exosomes Derived from Hepatocellular Carcinoma Cells Isolated at Different Centrifugal Speeds

The results demonstrate that exosomes possess a nearly spherical shape and bilipid membranous vesicle with a concave cavity structure containing electron-dense and coated vesicles, suggesting the possible existence of subpopulations of exosome with specific functions.

Exosomes/microvesicles as a mechanism of cell-to-cell communication.

The transfer of gene products from injured cells may explain stem cell functional and phenotypic changes without the need of transdifferentiation into tissue cells, and the evidence supporting a bidirectional exchange of genetic information between stem and injured cells is discussed.

Exosome-mediated transfer of mRNAs and microRNAs is a novel mechanism of genetic exchange between cells

It is shown that exosomes contain both mRNA and microRNA, which can be delivered to another cell, and can be functional in this new location, and it is proposed that this RNA is called ā€œexosomal shuttle RNAā€ (esRNA).

Endocytosis and intracellular processing of transferrin and colloidal gold-transferrin in rat reticulocytes: demonstration of a pathway for receptor shedding.

The data suggest that Tf receptors are shed from developing reticulocytes by incorporation into the limiting membrane of inclusion vesicle discharge, followed by discharge of these vesicles by MVE exocytosis, which matches Tf receptor loss rates closely enough to suggest that this is the primary path of receptor loss during Reticulocyte development.

Tumor-Derived Microvesicles Promote Regulatory T Cell Expansion and Induce Apoptosis in Tumor-Reactive Activated CD8+ T Lymphocytes1

The data suggest that tumor-derived MV induce immune suppression by promoting T regulatory cell expansion and the demise of antitumor CD8+ effector T cells, thus contributing to tumor escape.
