Quantitative Lipid Analysis of Extracellular Vesicle Preparations: A Perspective
ABSTRACT Quantitative lipidomic analysis performed by mass spectrometry is required for determination of the lipid content of extracellular vesicles (EVs). Such methods can provide information about the total amount of lipids, the lipid species composition, the purityof EV samples as well as the cellular origin of the EVs. There are, however, many pitfalls when performing […]
