Abstract

Challenges in the Detection, Isolation and Quantification of Extracellular Vesicles and Exosomes

Alain Brisson, Professor Emeritus, University of Bordeaux

The emerging field of extracellular vesicle (EV) and exosome research faces a notorious lack of reliable characterization methods. This is mainly due to the small size of EV/exosomes (mostly from 30 to 500 nm) and the heterogeneity of their suspensions. This presentation will illustrate the advantages of novel methods allowing to image, phenotype, quantify and isolate EVs in complex fluids.
