Characterization of exosome fractions isolated from plasma. Morphological characterization of plasma exosome fractions by transmission electron microscopy (a) and vesicle size distribution measured by nanoparticle tracking analysis (NTA) (b) from one representative HIV-negative subject. (c) Detection of exosome markers CD9, CD81, CD63, and HSP70 in plasma exosome fractions by immunoblotting (25 μg protein/lane) in control (Ctrl) (no exosome fraction) and plasma exosome fraction (Exo).
