"A galaxy of exosomes"

Exosomes are nano-scale extracellular vesicles produced by all cell types as a means of intercellular communication. They are typically 30-150nm in diameter and are secreted through fusion of multivesicular bodies with the plasma membrane. Exosomes are further defined by expressing tetraspanins proteins like CD81, CD9, and CD63. Their extremely small size makes them difficult to image and characterize by traditional means. This image was created using the ONI nanoimager fluorescence microscope. We are observing nanovesicles present within our XoGlo Pro product tagged with fluorescence antibodies targeting the canonical exosome markers CD81 (magenta), CD9 (yellow), and CD63 (cyan).
