Hi Joseph, I isolated exosomes from I mL of human plasma several times. The concentration of exosomal proteins was in the range between 280 to 400 µg using lysis buffer.
what is the method that you use for isolate exosome from human plasma?
I'm also work on exosome from human plasma. I isolate exosome from plasma by using ultracentrifugation. I got the concentration of exosome as same as your conc.
However, if i add the washing step after ultracentrifugation to make it more pure, the concentration of exosome is loss for 10-20 times. (Exosome concentration is approximately 20 ug from 1 mL plasma).
Why the exosome is loss so much in washing step?
Does the washing step after ultracentrifugation is necessary for exosome isolation?
