Problems solved by technology

Among them, the ultracentrifugation method is based on the difference in size and density between extracellular vesicles and other components in body fluids, and they are separated by means of an ultracentrifuge. This method requires expensive equipment, complicated operations, and low recovery rates. 5-7
Membrane affinity capture and immunocapture methods require the use of solid-phase surfaces modified with membrane affinity molecules or exosome-specific antibodies, resulting in high extraction costs and not suitable for system scale-up 8-11
The ultrafiltration membrane method is a screening method based on the particle size of extracellular vesicles, which can achieve rapid separation, but cannot achieve the concentration of extracellular vesicles, and extracellular vesicles may be captured by ultrafiltration membranes with micron or nanopore sizes Affect the final extraction efficiency 12 , 13
The polymer sedimentation method uses polymers such as polyethylene glycol to reduce the solubility of extracellular vesicles by changing the microenvironment in body fluids, thereby making them settle. This method does not require large-scale equipment, but because the vesicles The sedimentation process needs to be incubated for a period of time (0.5 hours - overnight), and the time required to complete an operation is still very long 14 , 15

Abstract

The invention relates to an ATPS (aqueous two-phase system) based method for extracting extracellular vesicles from body fluids. The method comprises the following steps: adding polyethylene glycol and glucan to a body fluid sample, regulating pH value of the system to be 6.4-8.5 by adding a buffer solution, mixing the mixture fully and performing oscillation to form white emulsion; then, performing centrifugation to divide the solution into an upper layer and a lower layer; performing separation to obtain the extracellular vesicles. By optimizing pH value of the polyethylene glucan system, ATPS based extraction efficiency of the extracellular vesicles and product purity are significantly improved. The method adopting ATPS for extraction of the extracellular vesicles has the largest advantage of quick and convenient operation, and about 60% of the extracellular vesicles can be recovered from the body fluids within 15-20 minutes.

Description

Technical field[0001]The present invention relates to the field of biotechnology, in particular to a method for extracting extracellular vesicles from body fluids based on a two-phase aqueous system.Background technique[0002]Most living organisms, including complex eukaryotes, Gram-negative and positive bacteria, mycobacteria and fungi, secrete extracellular vesicles (ExtracellμLar vesicles). Its types mainly include exosomes (exosome, particle size 50-100nm), microvesicles (microvesicle, particle size 20-1000nm), and apoptotic blebs (particle size 1000-5000nm), etc.1,2. In humans, endogenous extracellular vesicles are proven to play a role in blood coagulation, intercellular signal transmission, and waste management3. At the same time, extracellular vesicles have great potential in the diagnosis and treatment of diseases because they contain nucleic acids, proteins, lipids and other biological molecules.4.[0003]The methods currently used for the extraction and separation of extrace...
