Orientation of transmembrane proteins in NK3.3-derived EVs. (A) Twenty micrograms of NK3.3 EVs were treated with either PBS (-), Pronase (+), or Pronase + saponin (+s). Samples were then boiled in Laemmli buffer; immunoblot analysis was performed using antibodies to protein epitopes that have a vesicle membrane, cytoplasmic-facing orientation or contained within the EV lumen. (B) Conceptualization of NK3.3 EV composition depicting the localization of proteins in NK3.3-derived EVs. The majority of NKLAM and LAMP-1 proteins are positioned in this orientation.
