Characterization of urinary exosomes. (a) Transmission electron microscopy image of exosomes isolated from urine; scale bar: 100 nm. (b) Particles were observed in the size range of 50 to 200 nm by nanoparticle tracking analysis. (c) Western blot analysis of the exosomal protein markers HSP70, TSG101, Annexin V, and CD9. Exosomes were derived from healthy controls and bladder urothelial carcinoma patients.
