Insights into extracellular vesicle labeling and cellular uptake using live-cell analysis

12 Aug 2024

Extracellular vesicles (EVs), particularly exosomes, have received significant attention in the field of diagnostics and therapeutics due to their role in transporting biomolecules. The Incucyte® Exofluor Green EV Labeling Kit from Sartorius represents a significant advancement in the study of EVs, particularly exosomes. The kit provides a powerful platform for elucidating the biological functions of EVs by enabling researchers the ability to visualize and quantify EV uptake in real-time. Explore the kit's versatility across a variety of cell lines, EV purification methods, and functional assays.

Sartorius Group

The Incucyte® Exofluor Green EV Labeling Kit enables non-perturbing, real-time, dynamic evaluation of cellular EV uptake and has been validated for use with the Incucyte® Live-Cell Analysis System configured with a Green | Red or Green | Orange | Near-IR optical module. Incucyte® Exofluor Green EV Labeling Dye uniformly labels the plasma membrane of small EVs (e.g., exosomes) by covalently binding to proteins and amino acids. The irreversible binding to the EVs - combined with the removal of free dye - mitigates the risk of non-specific dye attachment to other plasma membranes before or during uptake.

This technique provides in-depth insight into fast and complex biological processes, by allowing dynamic imaging of living cells instead of acquiring an individual image at a single point in time.Cell AnalysisThe analysis of cells allows researchers to understand the factors which contribute to cell health and function. These influencing processes can then be predicted and altered, leading to the development of medication and disease treatments.ExosomesBiomolecules
