Overview

Importance of Removing Lipoproteins from sEV

Extracellular vesicles (EVs) from blood are of great importance to understand the biological role of circulating EVs and to develop EVs as biomarkers of disease. However, isolating EVs from blood poses challenges due to the simultaneous presence of lipoprotein particles. Lipoproteins may interfere with downstream analyses or functional assays performed on EVs. For instance, lipoproteins contain microRNAs as their cargos. In studies investigating the biological roles of EVs or their potential as biomarkers, the presence of lipoproteins could confound the results or mask the true effects of EVs. Recently, several studies showed that ultracentrifugation or size exclusion chromatography (SEC) alone cannot completely separate blood EVs from lipoprotein particles. Therefore, improved separation of EVs from lipoproteins is crucial for a detailed functional analysis of circulating EVs, thus making blood a viable source for EV biomarker discovery.

How It Works

The SmartSEC-DeLipo™ workflow is fast and easy. Simply apply 250 µL of cleared serum or plasma with additional column buffer or up to 0.5 mL of other biofluids directly to the pre-washed column, incubate, and centrifuge to elute the Evs then go through DeLipo column to remove lipoprotein from the isolated sEVs.
