Experimental model: maternal plasma collection and injection timelines in a CD-1 mouse model of pregnancy. (A) Experimental Design. Plasma from NP mice and pregnant mice was collected on gestation day (E)5, 9, 13, 15, 18, 19, and PP7 for exosome isolation and characterization. (B) Experimental design for PBS and exosome injections to determine the functional role of early (E9), and late gestation (E18) exosomes in vivo. PBS, E9 exosomes, or E18 exosomes were injected every 6 h on E15 and once more on E16. Mice were monitored for preterm labor prior to the expected delivery day (E19).
