Exosome Enzyme-linked Immunosorbent Assay (ELISA) is a sandwich ELISA assay designed for the quantification and characterization of exosomes in cell culture supernatant and biological fluids. The non-invasive protein biomarkers of exosomes can be used for the detection and monitoring of various pathological conditions. Creative Biolabs has successfully launched an innovative exosome characterization platform based on ELISA.
ELISA employs the basic immunology concept of an antigen binding to its specific antibody, allowing for the detection of very small quantities of antigens such as proteins, peptides, hormones, or antibodies in a fluid sample. The assay uses enzyme-labeled antigens and antibodies to detect biological molecules, with alkaline phosphatase and glucose oxidase being the most commonly used enzymes.
ELISA captures exosomes using exosome-specific protein antibodies from various biological samples, including cell culture supernatant and biological fluids. Following capture, the quantification and characterization of exosome proteins are performed using appropriate detection antibodies to identify exosome-associated antigens, which can be generic or cell-specific. Exosomes perform different biological functions due to their varied protein compositions. For instance, tumor cell-derived exosomes can mediate the proliferation and immune escape of angiogenic tumor cells, while dendritic cell-derived exosomes can elicit effective anti-tumor immune responses. Therefore, the non-invasive protein biomarkers of exosomes can be used for the detection and monitoring of multiple pathological conditions.
