Serum extracellular vesicle depletion processes affect release and infectivity of HIV-1 in culture

Abstract Extracellular vesicles (EVs) are involved in intercellular communication and affect processes including immune and antiviral responses. Blood serum, a common cell culture medium component, is replete with EVs and must be depleted prior to EV-related experiments. The extent to which depletio...
