Methodological Approaches to Assessing the Size and Morphology of Microvesicles of Cell Lines

  • Translated from Kletochnye Tekhnologii v Biologii i Meditsine (Cell Technologies in Biology and Medicine)
  • Published:
Bulletin of Experimental Biology and Medicine Aims and scope

Morphological properties and the size of microvesicles were assessed using atomic force microscopy, electron microscopy, and granulometric analysis. As these methods require significant numbers of microvesicles, we chose microvesicles derived from cell lines for our research.
