Analysis of extracellular vesicle mRNA derived from plasma using the nCounter platform

Abstract Extracellular vesicles (EVs) are double-layered phospholipid membrane vesicles that are released by most cells and can mediate intercellular communication through their RNA cargo. In this study, we tested if the NanoString nCounter platform can be used for the analysis of EV-mRNA. We develo...
