Comparison of nanoimaging and nanoflow based detection of extracellular vesicles at a single particle resolution by Shihan Xu, Zhengrong Zhang, Bridgette C. Melvin, Nibedita Basu Ray, Seiko Ikezu, Tsuneya Ikezu

“…Abstract The characterization of single extracellular vesicle (EV) has been an emerging tool for the early detection of various diseases despite there being challenges regarding how to interpret data with different protocols or instruments. In this work, standard EV particles were characterized for single CD9+, single CD81+ or double CD9+/CD81+ tetraspanin molecule positivity with two single EV analytic technologies in order to optimize their EV sample preparation after antibody labelling and analysis methods: NanoImager for direct stochastic optical reconstruction microscopy (dSTORM)‐based EV imaging and characterization, and Flow NanoAnalyzer for flow‐based EV quantification and characterization. …”
