Delivery of fluorescently labeled siRNA to monocytes and lymphocytes. The Alexa Fluor 488-tagged siRNA was introduced into exosomes which were subsequently co-cultured with monocytes and lymphocytes from healthy donors. Samples containing exosomes and siRNA but which were not exposed to electroporation were used as a negative control. The cells were stained with Hoechst 33342 and CellMask Deep Red to label the nuclear and plasma membranes, respectively. The localization of the fluorescently labeled siRNA within the target cells was assessed by confocal microscopy. The arrows show the location of siRNA in lymphocytes. Flow cytometry analyses show the level of Alexa Fluor 488-tagged irrelevant siRNA in the target cells.
