Project description

The use of a traceable reference material for evaluation of the isolation and characterisation of extracellular vesicles will be evaluated. For this the reference material will be characterized extensively and special attention will be given to resemblances between these particles and endogenous extracellular vesicles. Also different extracellular vesicle isolation methods will be compared and one optimal method will be proposed.
