Protocol for separation of fungal extracellular vesicles using ultracentrifugation from solid medium cultures
Résumé
Extracellular vesicles (EVs) have been identified in diverse fungi, including human pathogens. In this protocol, we present two techniques for isolating and analyzing fungal EVs. The first is for high-throughput screening, and the second is for yielding concentrated samples suitable for centrifugation-based density gradients. We describe steps for analytical assays such as nano-flow cytometry and nanoparticle tracking analysis to measure EV dimensions and concentration. EV suspensions can serve diverse assays, including electron microscopy, compositional determination, and cell-to-cell communication assays.
