We present a simple and rapid method to isolate extracellular vesicles (EVs) by using a polyethylene glycol/dextran aqueous two-phase system (ATPS). This system isolated more than ~75% of melanoma-derived EVs from a mixture of EVs and serum proteins. To increase the purity of EVs, a batch procedure was combined as additional steps to remove protein contaminants, and removed more than ~95% of the protein contaminants. We also performed RT-PCR and western blotting to verify the diagnostic applicability of the isolated EVs, and detected mRNA derived from melanoma cells and CD81 in isolated EVs.
我们提出了一种简单快速的方法,通过使用聚乙二醇/葡聚糖水两相系统(ATPS)来分离细胞外囊泡(EVs)。该系统从EVs和血清蛋白的混合物中分离出超过约75%的黑色素瘤来源的EVs。为了提高EVs的纯度,采用了分批操作作为额外步骤以去除蛋白质污染物,并且去除了超过约95%的蛋白质污染物。我们还进行了逆转录聚合酶链反应(RT-PCR)和蛋白质免疫印迹法(western blotting)以验证分离出的EVs的诊断适用性,并在分离出的EVs中检测到源自黑色素瘤细胞的信使核糖核酸(mRNA)和CD81。
