We have isolated extracellular vesicles (EVs) from plasma samples and are preparing them for LC-MS/MS-based proteomics at a core facility. However, I am uncertain whether EV lysis is necessary before trypsin digestion. The literature is inconsistent: some studies report lysis with SDS, while others do not mention lysis at all. What is the general consensus on this? If lysis is required, what detergent would be suitable without interfering with mass spectrometry?
