Quantification of CD9 + HLA-A3 + events in mixed PPP samples. (a) Serial dilutions (twofold) of 5 double-stained (anti-CD9 and anti-HLA-A3) matched donor-recipient samples shows that our setup is able to discriminate CD9 + HLA-A3 + EVs above recipient ‘self’ background (HLA-A3- recipient signals, indicated by the green dashed lines) down to ~ 1%. (b) Coincidence testing through serial dilution. A linear correlation between the concentrations of CD9 + HLA-A3 + EVs and dilution factor (range: 100% to 1.56% HLA-A3 + PPP) for each serial dilution experiment confirmed single particle analysis in mixed PPP samples. (c) Stable (standardized) fluorescent signals for both detection channels (Ch01 – HLA-A3 / Ch05 – CD9) were observed irrespective of the dilution factor.
