BIOTIUM | ExoBrite™ Flow Antibody Conjugates
Validated Antibodies for Detection of EV Markers by Flow Cytometry The most common proteins used as EV markers are CD9, CD63, and CD81, members of the tetraspanin family. While antibodies targeting these proteins are available by commercial suppliers, few are validated or perform well for detection of EVs or exosomes. The antibodies and dye labels […]

BIOTIUM | SUPER-RESOLUTION IMAGING
High-Performance EV Stains for Super-Resolution Featuring STORM-Optimized CF® Dyes Characterizing exosomes and EVs by imaging is challenging due to their small size and the resolution limits of conventional light microscopy. Super-resolution techniques like direct stochastic optical reconstruction microscopy (dSTORM) overcome these limits, providing single-molecule resolution of subcellular structures such as EVs. This enables deeper insights […]

BIOTIUM | Biotium’s ExoBrite™ Flow Antibody helps validate an upscaling protocol for potential exosome-based therapies
Exosome-based therapies are gaining attention in regenerative medicine for their ability to modulate cellular behaviour and enhance tissue repair. Exosomes derived from mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) have been shown to carry bioactive molecules such as proteins, lipids, and nucleic acids that facilitate intercellular communication and tissue regeneration. While MSC-derived exosomes have demonstrated therapeutic potential for […]
