Flow cytometric analysis of extracellular vesicle subsets in plasma: impact of swarm by particles of non‐interest

Fluorescence‐based flow cytometric analysis is suitable to detect low abundant EV subsets and interference of particles of non‐interest can be monitored by analyzing serial dilutions.

A simple flow cytometry method improves the detection of phosphatidylserine-exposing extracellular vesicles

Plasma contains cell‐derived extracellular vesicles (EVs), which participate in physiopathological processes and have potential applications as disease biomarker. However, the enumeration of EVs…

Particle size distribution of exosomes and microvesicles determined by transmission electron microscopy, flow cytometry, nanoparticle tracking analysis, and resistive pulse sensing

Enumeration of extracellular vesicles has clinical potential as a biomarker for disease and currently employed techniques detect concentrations ranging from 104 to 1012 vesicle mL–1.

The release of histone proteins from cells via extracellular vesicles

A large number of histones from healthy individuals and biofluids fromhealthy individuals and become elevated under disease conditions, including central giant cell granuloma and leukaemia, are detected in the blood of patients with these conditions.

Rate zonal centrifugation can partially separate platelets from platelet‐derived vesicles

Centrifugation is commonly used as a first step to enrich biomarkers from blood and affects the yield and purity of biomarkers, for example, isolation of platelets results in co‐isolation with extracellular vesicles (EVs).

Single particle high resolution spectral analysis flow cytometry

There are several types of analytical measurements that would benefit from a more comprehensive and flexible approach to spectral analysis including, but certainly not limited to spectral deconvolution of overlapping emission spectra, fluorescence resonance energy transfer measurements, metachromic dye analysis, free versus bound dye resolution, and Raman spectroscopy.

Optical and non‐optical methods for detection and characterization of microparticles and exosomes

Several (combinations of) methods can detect clinically relevant properties of microparticles and exosomes and should be further explored and validated by comparing measurement results so that accurate, reliable and fast solutions come within reach.

Overcoming limitations of microparticle measurement by flow cytometry.

This review addresses flow cytometry limitations in microparticle measurement that may be subdivided into three domains: sizing, probing, and counting and covers the various standardization strategies and technological improvements that have been proposed to overcome these limitations.

This work has shown that light scattering measurement of viruses is generally not feasible with current flow cytometers due to their small size, and the problem is aggravated by the fact that the light scattering of particles in this size range falls off with roughly the sixth power of their linear dimensions.
