Representative flow cytometric analyses of fractionated maternal side placental perfusate. (Ai) Forward scatter (FSC) vs. side scatter (SSC) profile of maternal side placental perfusate, (Aii) histogram showing 100% labelling of red blood cells (RBC), (Aiii) maternal side placental perfusate supernatant (1500SN) following depletion of contaminating RBC by 2 × 1500×g centrifugation for 10 min, (Aiv) 1500SN bio-maleimide positive labelling, (Av) FSC vs. SSC profile of 10,000×g pellet (10KP) and (Avi) 10KP bio-maleimide positive labelling. (Bi) 1500SN bio-maleimide positive EV displayed on two-parameter plots and phenotype identified: syncytiotrophoblast derived EV (STBEV), PLAP+/HLA Class I−, (Bii) RBC EV, CD235a/b+/PLAP−, (Biii) platelet EV (CD41+/PLAP−), (Biv) leukocyte/endothelial EV (HLA Class I+/CD41−). (Ci) 10KP bio-maleimide positive EV displayed on two-parameter plots and phenotype identified: STBEV, PLAP+/HLA Class I−, (Cii) RBC EV, CD235a/b+/PLAP−, (Ciii) platelet EV (CD41+/PLAP), (Civ) leukocyte/endothelial EV (HLA Class I+/CD41−). Histograms show the mean ± SE for percentage positive EV and two-parameter plots show the mean for percentage positive EV (n = 8). Percentages have been adjusted to account for background contaminating particulates.
