Article Title: Examination of the enrichment of neuronal extracellular vesicles from cell conditioned media and human plasma using an anti-NCAM immunocapture bead approach
doi: 10.1186/s44330-025-00034-7
Figure Lengend Snippet: Immunoblot and SEM analysis of SH-SY5Y EVs immunocaptured on anti-NCAM beads. A SH-SY5Y cell-derived EVs (100 µl) were incubated overnight with antibody-conjugated beads. The beads were then washed and the immunocaptured EVs lysed in RIPA buffer. Proteins were separated by SDS-PAGE and analysed by immunoblot for Tsg101, NCAM, L1CAM and calnexin. The numbers below the blots indicate the antibodies conjugated to the beads as follows; 1= anti-L1CAM clone 5G3, 2 = anti-L1CAM clone UJ127, 3 = anti-NCAM clone CMSSB, 4 = beads without antibody, 5 = anti-calnexin, 6 = anti-CD81, 7 = SH-SY5Y EVs, 8 = SH-SY5Y cell lysate. Gels are representative of three experiments. B SH-EVs were incubated with anti-NCAM or IgG immunocapture beads overnight. Beads were washed to remove non-bound EVs, and beads were fixed in 2 % PFA and imaged by SEM. Arrows indicate vesicle structures on the surface of the beads. Images shown are at x30,000 (upper images) and x50,000 magnification (lower images)
Article Snippet: Exosome-Streptavidin Isolation/Detection reagent Dynabeads (Thermo Fisher Scientific) (100 μl) were conjugated to 1 μg of biotinylated antibodies against L1CAM (clones 5G3 or UJ127; Thermo Fisher Scientific), NCAM (clone CMSSB; Thermo Fisher Scientific), CD81 (clone REA513; Miltenyi Biotec Ltd, Surrey, UK), calnexin (clone CANX/1543; Generon Ltd, Slough, UK), or mouse IgG (Thermo Fisher Scientific) in 100 μl PBS containing 0.1% (w/v) BSA for 1 h at room temperature.
