Characterization of 2D and 3D hUCB-MSC-derived extracellular vesicles (EVs). (a) MSC markers, CD90, CD73, CD44, and CD105, and MSC negative markers were analyzed by flow cytometry. The white curve represents the isotype control, and the light gray curve represents stained cells. (b) 2D and 3D hUCB-MSCB-derived EVs were analyzed by transmission electron microscopy (TEM). Scale . (c) The size distribution of 2D and 3D hUCB-MSC-derived EVs were analyzed by nanoparticle tracking analysis (NTA). (d) EV markers CD63 and TSG101 were identified by western blotting.
