Trypsin treatment of EVs derived from monocytic lymphoma U937 cells and immortalized human dermal microvascular endothelial HMEC-1 cells. Western blotting shows that trypsin-resistant vesicular proteins (CD81, GAPDH, and actin) are not affected but only trypsin-sensitive vesicular proteins (ICAM1, calnexin, and RPL14) are digested by trypsin in U937 EVs (a) and HMEC-1 EVs (b) as observed in SW480 EVs. Additional biological replicate of Western blotting for U937 EVs are shown in Figure S3. Note that CD81 is not expressed in U937 cells [24].
