Characterization of the IEV protein cargo for EV markers. (a and b) Commonly EV-associated proteins Hsp70, TSG101, CD9 and CD81 along with GM130 and α-tubulin were analysed by western blotting from the pooled fractions 1–6 of cEVs and IEVs or cell lysate (CL) of PC-3 (a) and A549 (b) cells. Also fractions 7–10 from IEV samples were analysed. Representative blots are shown with three independent samples of IEVs/cEVs and two independent samples of CL and fractions 7–10. While other protein markers seemed to be depleted from the IEVs and cEVs, membrane proteins CD9 and CD81 were enriched in those samples. (c and d) the samples were also analysed by stain-free SDS-PAGE, showing a distinct pattern of proteins in both pools of fractions 1–6 and 7–10 when compared to CL.
