MRM measurements were normalized to the total protein in each sample. Exospin Blood kit was from Cell Guidance Systems and total exosome isolation (from serum) kit was from Invitrogen. Protocols #1 through #4 are summarized in Figure S3 (Supporting Information). All experiments were performed in duplicate with three replicate injections to assess error and reproducibility. Data is represented as the mean ± SD.
