Concentration and size distribution of BMSC-derived EVs were determined using NanoSight NS300 (Nanosight Ltd., United Kingdom) equipped with a 405 nm laser. The particles in each sample were recorded for 5 times 60 s. The data was processed by NTA 2.3 software.
UCB-CD34+ cells, before and after 10 days’ culture, were examined for surface markers and viability. Absolute numbers were determined using fluorescence reference counting beads (Thermo Fisher Scientific, United States), anti-APC-CD34+ (Biolegend, United Kingdom) or anti-PeCy7-CD34+ (BD Bioscience, United States), anti-FITC-CD45 (BD Bioscience, United States), anti-APC-CD38 (eBioscience, Thermo Fisher Scientific, United States), anti-PE-CD45RA (Diaclone, France), and DAPI (Sigma Aldrich, Germany). All samples were analyzed using LRS II (BD Biosciences, United States) and data was analyzed using FlowJo software (Tree Star, Inc., United States).
