Exosomes isolated from HIV-1-infected cells possess typical characteristics.
A, Jurkat and J1.1-derived exosomes obtained from 5-day-old cell culture supernatants and corresponding WCEs were resolved in a Tris-glycine gel and silver-stained. The band migrating close to 65 kDa was excised from both the Jurkat and J1.1-exosome lanes and analyzed by MALDI-TOF MS. B, Jurkat and J1.1-derived exosomes and corresponding WCEs were analyzed by Western blots with antibodies to CD63, CD45, Hsp70, Alix, cytochrome c, and β-actin. C, Jurkat and J1.1-derived exosomes were observed by transmission electron microscopy and the multiple representative exosomes indicated.
