Description: Over 90% of cancer-related deaths are due to metastasis. Tumor-cell derived extracellular vesicles or exosomes are thought to contribute to metastasis. However, there is no standardized method to isolate exosomes. We hypothesize that polymer-based kits, in particular ExoQuick-TC (EQTC), may be better for isolating exosomes when compared to ultracentrifugation. In this study, we used three… more
