Abstract
Exosomes (Exo) are important mediators of inter-cellular communications; however, no effective method is available for isolating, thus characterizing, cellular-specific exosomes in vivo. Since CD63 is a reliable marker for exosomes, we have developed a tagging strategy, term “CD63-Snorkel (CD63-SNKL)”, in which CD63 at its intracellular C-terminus was fused to a fragment of PDGFRB that contains the transmembrane domain tethered to multiple epitope tags (HA, His, and FLAG) displayed in tandem on surface. We found that the CD63-SNKL protein has similar subcellular localizations as endogenous CD63 and can be effectively sorted into Exo. Furthermore, Exo secreted from CD63-SNKL–transduced cells can be effectively captured on anti-HA magnetic beads and eluted with HA peptides. Thus, CD63-SNKL may be engineered for isolating and tracking endogenous tissue-specific Exo in vivo.
