PRODUCT INFORMATION PRODUCT DESCRIPTION Overview About Exosomes About the latex beads Immunobeads display high capturing efficiency due to specific antibody coating and favorable interaction with biological vesicles (exosomes) in the sample. They allow the use of different sample s volume (0,1 ml up to 1 ml). Exosomes are small endosome derived lipid nanoparticles (50-120 nm) actively secreted by exocytosis by most living cells. Exosome release occurs either constitutively or upon induction, under both normal and pathological conditions, in a dynamic, regulated and functionally relevant manner. Both amount and molecular composition of released exosomes depend on the state of a parent cell. This is one of major premises of employing exosomes for research and diagnostic purposes. Exosomes have been isolated from diverse cell lines (hematopoietic cells, tumor lines, primary cultures, virus infected cells) as well as from biological fluids in particular blood (e.g. serum and plasma from cancer patients) and other body fluids (bronchoalveolar lavage fluid, pleural effusions, synovial fluid, urine, amniotic fluid, semen, saliva etc). Exosomes have pleiotropic physiological and pathological functions and an emerging role in diverse pathological conditions such as cancer, infectious and neurodegenerative diseases. Latex immunobeads can be efficiently recovered after incubation with the sample using a standard top-bench centrifuge. Magnetic immunobeads are under development and will be available soon on HansaBioMed catalog. Beads-purified exosomes captured on immunobeads can be directly used for analysis of protein markers or for RNA content. PRODUCT CONTENT Type of Immunobeads available: Immunobeads for Overall Exosome capture from Human Biological fluids (plasma, serum and urine); Immunobeads for Overall Exosome capture from cell culture supernatant; Immunobeads for Tumor-derived Exosome capture from Human Biological fluids (plasma serum and urine).

PROTOCOL PROCEDURE Overview Immunobeads have been designed for selective exosome capture from biological fluids and cell culture supernatants. Hereby proposed protocol is applicable to all immunobeads presented in the catalog. Products are for research use only and is not intended for diagnostic use. Exosomes immunocapture 1. Add 10 µl of pre-coupled beads to 0.5 ml up to 1 ml of biological sample (plasma, urine or cell culture supernatant previously precleared in according with indications in appendix 1. Incubate overnight at 4 C in rotator. Remark: Incubation can be carried out also at room temperature for at least 4 hours in rotator. 2. After exosome binding wash beads 3 time with 500 µl of PBS or PBS + Tween 0.05% by resuspending up and down 10-15 times. In each step remove the supernatant by centrifugation at 5000 g for 10. 3. The prepared beads can be used for further captured exosome characterization including both protein and nucleic acid content analysis, or exosomes can be recovered and studied. Exosome elution from beads (Only for 0.4 and 1 micron bead size, 10 and 20 reactions) 1. Add 10 μl of Exosome Recovery Buffer, vortex for 30, incubate at RT for 5. Vortex again 30 and add 40 μl of PBS 1X. 2. Centrifuge 10 at 5000 g, transfer the supernatant in a clean tube (low binding) and store in ice. 3. Repeat the elution step as indicated in step 1. 4. Centrifuge as indicated above. 5. Collect the two fractions of supernatant all together. Beads regeneration* 1. Add 500 μl of regeneration buffer, incubate for 5 at RT. 2. Centrifuge 10 at 5000 g, discard the supernatant. 3. Wash beads with 1 ml of PBS, centrifuge as indicated above, discard the supernatant. 4. Resuspend beads in 10 μl of PBS. * Beads can be reused for not more than twice. Latex Beads Product Insert www.exotest.eu HansaBioMed 4
PROTEOMIC ANALYSIS Exosomes incorporate a wide range of membranes and cytosolic proteins involved in many cellular functions and reflecting both their endosomal origin and a protein fingerprint unique for parent cell type and condition. Starting with exosomes capture on immunobeads is an ideal starting point for further studies on exosome biomarkers.

TROUBLESHOOTING Problem/Cause Low efficiency in immunobeads precipitation Immunobeads damage Suggested Solution Usage of low-binding tubes is recommended. Increase centrifugation time (15 or 20 at 5000 g). Not increase centrifugation speed over 5000 g. Conditions that would be damaging to the immunobeads include freezing (irreversible aggregation), high temperature (>95 C), exposure to organic solvents and high centrifugation speed (swelling, deformation, sticking of immunobeads) Presence of aggregates and hard immunobeads resuspension: Formation of small aggregates may happen collecting immunobeads after samples incubation. Small aggregates usually do not cause problems and can be resuspended by pipetting several time during washing steps. Incubation 5 at 37 C can help to disrupt small aggregates. Irreversible aggregation in precipitation phase Nonspecific absorption Exosomes markers detection in western blotting Irreversible aggregation of immunobeads after incubation with biological samples may happen if samples are not well precleared or too concentrate. Preclear plasma samples following protocol indicated in appendix 1 before incubation with immunobeads. Dilute concentrated urine or cell culture supernatants samples with PBS 1x or a solution of NaCl 0,9 M. Include or increase the percentage of Tween 20 in buffer for washing. Recommended concentrations: 0,05 % to 0,2% Beads are coupled with mouse or rabbit antibody for exosomes immunocapture. The signal of heavy and light immunoglobulins chains can appear during the detection phase if a conventional secondary antibody HRP conjugated is used. The use of detection primary antibodies HRP or biotin tagged eliminate this problem. HansaBioMed www.exotest.eu 7 Latex Beads Product Insert
