Fig. 5From: Vesicular HMGB1 release from neurons stressed with spreading depolarization enables confined inflammatory signaling to astrocytesCharacteristics of the extracellular vesicles released by CSD. EVs isolated from the brain one hour after CSD were evaluated in accordance with MISEV guidelines. A Nanoparticle tracking assay showed that the mean particle diameter was 167 nm, compatible with sEVs (SD = 46.6 nm; d90/d10 = 1.82). The concentration was 1.39e + 10 particles/ml. B SEM image of EVs derived from the mouse brain cortex and a magnified image of a single EV with a 57 nm radius from the same sample (inset). C Flow cytometric analysis of EVs captured with anti-CD63 antibody-coated latex beads and labeled with anti-CD63 and anti-CD81 antibodies verified that they expressed typical EV surface markers. Each sample was compared with an unstained sample and with a sample labeled with an isotype antibody. The numbers in the middle of each histogram show the mean fluorescence intensityBack to article page
