Abstract

Extracellular vesicles have emerged in recent years as highly promising for understanding cell communication, drug delivery, and medical applications. Specifically, tumor-derived extracellular vesicles (tdEVs) have demonstrated excellent prognostic value in cancer diagnostics compared to imaging approaches. Despite the growing body of expertise regarding EVs, great challenges remain, notably in their handling and characterization. In complex media, other particles with similar characteristics may occlude measurements. Here, a platform is presented for the immunocapturing of tdEVs for identifying their origin followed by further multi-modal analysis by Raman spectroscopy, confocal microscopy and atomic force microscopy (AFM).
