  • Use of TM9SF4 as a biomarker for tumor associated exosomes
    Publication number: 20220349892
    Abstract: The present invention relates to extracellular microvesicles biomarkers for determining the tumour transformation status or presence of a tumour in a subject, and to the uses of such biomarkers and to diagnostics methods using such biomarkers. In particular, the methods and uses of the invention involve isolation of TM9SF4-positive extracellular vesicles and detection of the expression of a second biomarker, preferably selected from the group consisting of CD9 protein, miR-21 and RNU6.

  • USE OF HOLLOW FIBERS TO OBTAIN BLOOD OR A BLOOD DERIVATIVE IMPOVERISHED FROM BLOOD CELLS AND PLATELETS DERIVED EXTRACELLULAR VESICLES
    Publication number: 20210025795
    Abstract: A method is provided for using hollow fibers having a porosity above 20 nm, in particular polyethersulfone hollow fibers, to impoverish blood and blood-derivatives from blood-derived extracellular vesicles, in particular exosomes and exomers. Methods for obtaining and analyzing the impoverished samples are also provided.

  • METHODS AND KITS RELATING TO THE CAPTURE OF CA-IX POSITIVE EXOSOMES
    Publication number: 20200291482
    Abstract: Methods and kits for isolating tumour-derived exosomes by immunocapture with an anti CA-IX antibody, quantifying tumour-related nucleic acid sequences from the isolated exosomes and determining in vitro the presence of a tumour in a subject are provided.

  • Monclonal antibodies, hybridomas and methods for use
    Publication number: 20120122118
    Abstract: The present invention provides monoclonal antibodies to TM9SF-proteins and hybridoma cell lines that produce the monoclonal antibodies to TM9SF4. This invention also provides a method for determining the level of TM9SF4-protein in biological fluid samples, tissue samples and in microvesicles such as exosomes, comprising kit for determining the level of TM9SF4 protein in human exosomes and other microvesicles, in tissue samples, and in biological fluids.
