  • Publication number: 20250091006
    Abstract: Provided is an isolation and purification method for isolating and purifying extracellular vesicles. In the method for isolating and purifying extracellular vesicles from a solution containing the extracellular vesicles and unnecessary substances. The isolation and purification method is an adsorbent treatment method in which a solution containing the extracellular vesicles and unnecessary substances is brought into contact with an adsorbent to cause the adsorbent to adsorb and retain the unnecessary substances other than the extracellular vesicles. The adsorbent is a porous granular material having a pore, an interior of the pore being positively charged, and the adsorbent can adsorb and retain, in the interior of the pore, negatively charged unnecessary substances other than the extracellular vesicles.

  • Patent number: 12202858
    Abstract: The purpose of the present invention is to provide a solid-phase carrier on which an IgG-binding peptide is immobilized, the peptide being usable for IgG purification, having resistance to repeated washing with an alkaline solution after IgG purification, and having a high binding affinity for IgG. Specifically, the present invention relates to a solid-phase carrier on which an IgG-binding peptide is immobilized, wherein the two cysteine residues on the outside of the peptide are linked as shown in the following formula: (in the formula, the upper cysteine residue is on the N-terminal side of the peptide, and the lower cysteine residue is on the C-terminal side of the peptide).

  • Publication number: 20240238728
    Abstract: [Object] To provide an isolation and purification method for isolating and purifying extracellular vesicles. [Solution] An isolation and purification method of extracellular vesicles is disclosed. A hollow fiber membrane has an inner diameter of 0.2 mm to 1.4 mm and a molecular weight cut-off of 100000 to 1000000. Filtering includes a first filtration process of press-fitting the culture supernatant of the mesenchymal stem cells from a first opening on one end side of the hollow fiber membrane and filtering the culture supernatant to separate the culture supernatant into a permeate and a first concentrate, and a second filtration process of press-fitting the first concentrate from a second opening on the other end side of the hollow fiber membrane and filtering the first concentrate to separate the first concentrate into a permeate and a second concentrate.
