Isolation and detection of extracellular vesicles from melanoma cells and liquid biopsies using size-exclusion chromatography and nano-flow cytometry

Characterization of extracellular vesicles (EVs) holds great promise for biomarker discovery and understanding of diseases, including melanoma, the deadliest skin cancer type. Here, we describe a size-exclusion chromatography method to isolate and concentrate EVs from patient material including (1)...

Sumario:Characterization of extracellular vesicles (EVs) holds great promise for biomarker discovery and understanding of diseases, including melanoma, the deadliest skin cancer type. Here, we describe a size-exclusion chromatography method to isolate and concentrate EVs from patient material including (1) patient-derived melanoma cell line supernatants and (2) plasma and serum biopsies. Additionally, we provide a protocol to analyze EVs by nano-flow cytometry. EV suspensions obtained with the presented protocol can be used for several downstream analyses including RNA sequencing and proteomics.
