Abstract

Most human cells release extracellular vesicles (EVs) of different sizes and composition, containing biomolecules characteristic from the originating tissue. In consequence, when EVs derive from a cancer cell, they also contain tumor antigens. Therefore, isolating and characterizing tumor-derived EVs has attracted great interest as an invaluable source of biomarkers, both for diagnosis and stratification of cancer. In this chapter, we describe a method for flow cytometry assessment of melanoma-derived EVs which are firstly captured onto antibody-coated beads recognizing either a common EV marker, namely, a tetraspanin, or a tumor antigen like the stress-related molecules MICA or PDL1. Then, after staining with a fluorophore-conjugated antibody directed against a different protein present on the EV surface, the EV-bead complex can be visualized in a conventional flow cytometer. The technique allows detection of proteins present on EVs isolated from tissue culture supernatants of melanoma cell lines and, more importantly, directly from plasma.
