Differential recovery of EV subpopulations in simple and complex matrices, between streptavidin-coated and covalently-conjugated beads. (A) CFSE-stained HEK293 EVs were isolated from PBS-BSA with MACS-STV and MACS. CD9 was the IP target and ISO/CD61 were negative controls. Recovery was plotted as % of input, obtained using fluorescent signals of samples and input. Fluorescence of IP flow-throughs (FT) allowed for an indirect calculation of recovery (yellow), whereas fluorescence on beads provided a direct recovery measure (blue). Specificity represents the difference (in percentage) between target and negative control signal. (B) Cryo-TEM images of triple-coated MACS beads (1), HEK293 EVs (2) and the IP complex formed between both in PBS-BSA (3). Respective scale bars are shown on the top right corner of each image. (C) S/N ratios of CFSE-stained HEK293 EVs recovered from plasma (donor 6) on MACS-STV and MACS. The IP target was CD9 and the negative controls were ISO/CD61. (D) After RNA isolation from MACS CD9 and CD61 samples obtained in (C), GAPDH and CA9 mRNA copies were measured by ddPCR. (E) S/N ratios of CFSE-stained HEK293 EVs recovered from plasma (donor 6) on MACS beads, coated with anti-CD9 and anti-PE antibodies. IP specificity was 78%
