Characterization of exosomes isolated by electron microscopy and western blot. (A) Image of exosomes isolated at 59000 X in a Tecnai 12 transmission electron microscope with Mega-View III digital camera (Philips, Eindhoven, The Netherlands). An image acquired at 135000 X is shown in the upper right part. (B) Distribution by vesicle size of the isolated exosomes detected by electron microscopy. More than 100 images were recorded and the vesicles were analyzed in each one with the MIP4 Advanced software. (C) SDS-PAGE and western blotting of three different exosome samples isolated from plasma of control subjects. Anti-CD9 was used as primary antibody.
