Figure Lengend Snippet: Characterization of S2-cell derived EVs. (A) Western blot analysis of the proteins ROP (67 kDa), Rab11 (24 kDa), Rho-1 (21 kDa), HSP90 (90 kDa) and Cnx (68 KDa), in the S2 cell-derived extracellular fractions isolated based on density with ODG ultracentrifugation. Left lanes correspond to the ladder and the ladder band size is indicated in kDa. The measured density of the fractions is indicated on the top, in g/mL. The fraction numbers are indicated on the bottom (1–12). Next, the EV-containing fractions (7–10) were pelleted by ultracentrifugation. (B) EV size assessed by NTA. The size distribution is depicted as a mean (black line) with standard error of the mean (red error bars). (C) EV morphology examined by TEM. Scale bar represents 200 nm.
