Exosome Biotinylation

Investigating the functions of exosomes in therapeutic and diagnostic applications has received increasing focus. An innovative method for tracking exosome trafficking in vivo is called exosome labeling, and it helps to improve exosome-based diagnosis and therapy.
Exosomes are a type of extracellular vesicles that carry many components of their parent cells, including nucleic acids and proteins. They have a diameter of 30-150 nm. The use of exosome biotin labeling could be a very useful method for examining the biological characteristics of exosomes. By binding to streptavidin and avidin, biotin can be used to mark specific exosome proteins, allowing for the tracking of exosome trafficking.
