Characterization of isolated exosomes. (a) Electron microscopy images reveal WT- and Dys-iCM secreted exosomes display traditional cuplike morphology and are approximately 50 nm. (b) NTA of isolated exosomes reveals a range of sizes in particles averaging 148 nm (WT-exo) and 187 (Dys-exo). (c) Quantitation of NTA results. (d) Exosomes exhibit exosomal markers CD63 and CD81 as shown by flow cytometry. (e) Exo-Check protein array analysis reveals WT- and Dys-exo display exosome protein markers. (f) Cardiomyocytes are labeled with NCX1-eGFP and exosomes are stained with PKH26 (red). Exosomes are seen to be taken up at 2 hours.
