Isolation and Characterization of Shiga Toxin-Associated Microvesicles

Willysson, Annie LU ; Ståhl, Anne lie LU and Karpman, Diana LU orcid (2021) In Methods in Molecular Biology 2291. p.207-228
Abstract

Microvesicles are shed from cell surfaces during infectious or inflammatory conditions and may contribute to the pathogenesis of disease. During Shiga toxin-producing Escherichia coli (STEC) infection, microvesicles are released from blood cells. These microvesicles play a part in inflammation, thrombosis, hemolysis, and the transfer of the main virulence factor of STEC strains, Shiga toxin, to target organ cells. This chapter describes how to isolate blood cell- and cell culture-derived microvesicles from plasma or cell culture medium, respectively, and how to characterize these microvesicles by various methods, with special focus on Shiga toxin-associated microvesicles.
