Protocols

CD9 Immunostaining in vFC™

vFC™ (#CBS4) is an assay that enables specific detection and characterization of individual extracellular vesicles such as exosomes and microvesicles on commercially available flow cytometers. This protocol makes use of vFC™ to provide a standardized means of analyzing individual vesicles to measure size, concentration, and CD163 expression simultaneously. Because vFC™ triggers on vesicles, pairing antibody staining with vFC™ enables a highly-reproducible, no-wash assay. In this protocol, vesicles will be stained using our vTag™ Anti-Human CD163 Antibody. See protocol 2 in the vFC™ kit handbook for additional considerations and full protocol details.Procedure

We recommend using vTag™ Antibodies with the vFC™ Assay. Full, detailed protocols are available on the product page.
  1. Dilute sample containing EVs to approximately 5×106 extracellular vesicles per µl. To empirically determine vesicle concentration and identify an optimal pre-stain dilution, see supporting protocols included in the vFC™ kit.
  2. Prepare a working concentration of vFRed™ Red (5 µl per well) according to kit instructions
  3. In duplicate, in the included 96 well plate, add 35 µl of dilution buffer, 5µl of vFRed™ Red, 5 µl of vTag™ anti-human CD163 antibody, and 5 µl of EV sample.
  4. Incubate in the dark for 1hr.
  5. Perform serial dilution of the samples as described in the assay handbook. Briefly, samples are to be diluted from between 1:100 to 1:1000 from staining concentration depending upon the flow cytometer being used.
  6. Analyze the diluted sample of labeled EVs on a qualified flow cytometer.

CD163 Background Information

CD163 is a scavenger receptor expressed on the surface of macrophages and monocytes. It is involved in the clearance of hemoglobin-haptoglobin complexes from the blood, making it a key player in anti-inflammatory and tissue repair processes. CD163 is often used as a marker for M2 macrophages, which are associated with tissue repair and immunosuppression. (see the data by vesicle origin resource for more info).
