Figure Lengend Snippet: Graphical representation of workflow A . Circulating sEVs derived from Control, MCI and AD patient does not show colocalization signal B . Co-incubation with Aβ SA was performed only for control and AD EVs. Controls sEVs incubated with small amyloid-β aggregates C . AD sEVs, when incubated with small amyloid-β aggregates, colocalize (White arrows) at low temperature 4℃ D . Colour Yellow is the colocalised signal for sEVs (Green)and Aβ (Red). Scale bar= 20 μm. PCC ( E ) between CD9–Alexa Fluor 488 EVs and AβSA-Alexa Fluor 647, calculated using Costes thresholding (FIJI/JACoP). Control EVs: 0.033 ± 0.005; AD EVs: 0.780 ± 0.046 ( n = 3). One-way ANOVA: p < 0.0001. Percentage of AβSA associated with EVs ( F ), Control EVs: 2.87 ± 0.90%; AD EVs: 40.37 ± 1.98% (( n = 3; incubation maintained at 4 °C)). Unpaired t-test: p < 0.0001. AD ( n = 9), MCI ( n = 3), and non-demented controls ( n = 10)
Article Snippet: sEVs and Aβ42 suspension was labeled using Human CD9 Alexa Fluor ® 488-conjugated Antibody (R&D systems, FAB1880G) for sEVs and Alexa Fluor ® 647 Anti-beta Amyloid 1–42 antibody [mOC64] (Abcam, ab300742) in final concentration of 2%(v/v) and 0.5%(v/v) of the total suspension respectively. sEVs and the aggregate suspension were incubated for 2 h with both antibodies at 25 °C before mounting on labolene-cleaned glass slides (Blue Star) and covered with 18 mm;10Gms glass covers (Blue Star), and were imaged on Zeiss LSM980 system using the 40X objective.
