ExtraPEG: A Polyethylene Glycol-Based Method for Enrichment of Extracellular Vesicles
Initially thought to be a means for cells to eliminate waste, secreted extracellular vesicles, known as exosomes, are now understood to mediate numerous healthy and pathological processes. Though abundant in biological fluids, purifying exosomes has been challenging because their biophysical properties overlap with other secreted cell products. Easy-to-use commercial kits for harvesting exosome...
متن کاملA novel method of preparation of small intestinal brush border membrane vesicles by polyethylene glycol precipitation.
A novel method of brush border membrane vesicle (BBMV) preparation from the small intestinal mucosa using polyethylene glycol (PEG) precipitation has been presented. This preparation is compared with calcium-precipitated BBMVs in marker enzyme enrichment, contamination by other subcellular membranes, transport of glucose, and lipid composition. PEG-precipitated BBMVs are comparable with calcium...
متن کاملEnrichment of calcifying extracellular vesicles using density-based ultracentrifugation protocol
Calcifying extracellular vesicles (EVs) released from cells within atherosclerotic plaques have received increased attention for their role in mediating vascular calcification, a major predictor of cardiovascular morbidity and mortality. However, little is known about the difference between this pathologic vesicle population and other EVs that contribute to physiological cellular processes. One...
متن کاملPolyethylene glycol precipitation as a screening method for macroprolactinemia.
To the Editor: Vieira et al. (1) used the Wallac Delfia immunofluorometric assay to demonstrate that macroprolactin is a common cause of apparent hyperprolactinemia, and this confirms our experience (2) and that of others (3). However, their data validating the polyethylene glycol (PEG) precipitation as a screening method for detecting macroprolactinemia are substantially different than ours (2...
متن کاملEngraftment of plasma membrane vesicles into liposomes: A new method for designing of liposome-based vaccines
Objective(s):One of the major challenges in the field of vaccine design is choosing immunogenic antigens which can induce a proper immune response against complex targets like malignant cells or recondite diseases caused by protozoan parasites such as leishmaniasis. The aim of this study was to find a way to construct artificial liposome-based cells containing fragments of target’s cell membran...
