Abstract: Methods for preparing microRNAs from microvesicles isolated from a biological sample from a subject, and preparation of DNA from microvesicle microRNA preparations.

Abstract: The presently disclosed subject matter is directed to methods of aiding diagnosis, prognosis, monitoring and evaluation of a disease or other medical condition in a subject by detecting a biomarker in microvesicles isolated from a biological sample from the subject.

Abstract: The present invention is partly based on the discovery that adverse factors can prevent an effective extraction of nucleic acids from a biological sample and that novel and unexpected agents and steps may be used to mitigate or remove the adverse factors, thereby dramatically improving the quality of the extracted nucleic acids. As such, one aspect of this invention is a novel method for extracting high quality nucleic acids from a biological sample. The high quality extractions obtained by the novel methods described herein are characterized by high yield and high integrity, making the extracted nucleic acids useful for various applications in which high quality nucleic acid extractions are preferred, e.g., a diagnosis, prognosis or therapy evaluation for a medical condition.

Abstract: The presently disclosed subject matter is directed to methods of aiding diagnosis, prognosis, monitoring and evaluation of a disease or other medical condition in a? subject by detecting a biomarker in microvesicles isolated from a biological, sample from the subject. Moreover, disclosed subject matter is directed to methods of diagnosis, monitoring a disease by determining the concentration of microvesicles within a biological sample; methods of delivering a nucleic acid or protein to a target all by administering microvesicles that contain said nucleic acid or protein; methods for performing a body fluid transfusion by introducing a microvesicle-free or microvesicle enriched fluid fraction into a patient.
