Figure 6.
Degree of saturation of lipids in EVs and cells. Most of the detected lipid classes are saturated or monounsatutared, as compared to di- and poly-unsaturated ones in both EV preparations and cell lysates. Different color bars are depicted: Cell control (red), Virus control (brown), NIEVs middle fractions (green), NIEVs upper fractions (light blue), IEV middle fractions (purple), IEVs upper fractions (pink). DG: diacylglycerol, PS: glycerophosphoserine, PE: phosphatidylethanolamine, PG: phosphatidylglycerol, SM: sphingomyelin, LacCer: lactosylceramide, HexCer: hexosylceramide, Cer: ceramide. Data shown are from three independent experiments. The results are expressed as molar percentages (mol%).
