Abstract
Extracellular vesicles (EVs) represent heterogeneous populations of membrane-bound vesicles shed from almost all kinds of cells. Although superior to conventional methods, most newly developed EV sensing platforms still require a certain number of EVs, measuring bulk signals from a group of vesicles. A new analytical approach that enables single EV analysis could be extremely valuable for understanding EVs' subtypes, heterogeneity, and production dynamics during disease development and progression. Here, we describe a new nanoplasmonic sensing platform for sensitive single EV analysis. Termed nPLEX-FL (nano-plasmonic EV analysis with enhanced fluorescence detection), the system amplifies EVs' fluorescence signals using periodic gold nanohole structures, enabling sensitive, multiplexed analysis of single EVs.
