Characterization of isolated extracellular vesicles and particles (EVPs) is crucial for determining functions and biomarker potential. Here, we present a protocol to analyze size, number, morphology, and EVP protein cargo and to validate EVP proteins in both humans and mice. We describe steps for nanoparticle tracking analysis, transmission electron microscopy, single-EVP immunodetection, EVP proteomic mass spectrometry and bioinformatic analysis, and EVP protein validation by ExoELISA and western blot analysis. This allows for EVP cross-validation across different platforms. For complete details on the use and execution of this protocol, please refer to Hoshino et al..
分离的细胞外囊泡和颗粒（EVPs）的特征对于确定其功能和生物标志物潜力至关重要。在这里，我们提供了一个分析大小、数量、形态和 EVPs 蛋白负荷的方案，并在人类和小鼠中验证了 EVPs 蛋白。我们描述了纳米颗粒跟踪分析、透射电子显微镜、单个 EVPs 免疫检测、EVPs 蛋白质组学质谱和生物信息学分析的步骤，以及通过 ExoELISA 和 Western blot 分析验证 EVPs 蛋白的步骤。这允许在不同平台上进行 EVPs 的交叉验证。有关此方案使用和执行的完整详细信息，请参阅 Hoshino 等人的研究。
