Characterization of serum exosomes and GPC-1 expression in serum exosomes and serum. (A) TEM image of exosomes extracted from the serum of patients with PDAC. (B) Nano flow cytometry analysis of serum exosomes. (C) Western blot analysis of the serum exosomal markers CD9, TSG101, and CD81. TEM, transmission electron microscopy; PDAC, pancreatic ductal carcinoma. (D) Serum exosomal, serum and exosome-depleted serum supernatant GPC-1 expression levels. Serum exosomal (E) and serum (F) GPC-1 expression levels were stable under 1-5 freeze–thaw cycles.
