The present invention relates to a method for isolating extracellular vesicles using cations, and more particularly, to a method for isolating extracellular vesicles from various samples by using the affinity between the extracellular vesicles and cations. A method for isolating extracellular vesicles according to the present invention does not require expensive equipment, can be applied irrespective of sample amount, and has the advantage of being capable of efficiently isolating the extracellular vesicles while preserving the shape or characteristics thereof. Moreover, the method according to the present invention can be combined with existing isolation methods to maximize extracellular vesicle isolation efficiency, and can be applied to disease diagnosis, disease treatment, and multi-omics research using isolated extracellular vesicles, as well as to research on the properties of extracellular vesicles.

Method for isolating extracellular vesicles using cations

The analysis method for extracellular vesicles, according to the present invention, uses the size-specific separation ability of size exclusion chromatography and the properties of a probe that specifically binds with extracellular vesicles, and by using same is capable of the rapid and easy analysis of the quantity of extracellular vesicles included in a sample, analysis of the physicochemical properties of the extracellular vesicles, analysis of the kind and quantity of the components included in the extracellular vesicles, and analysis of the binding properties or affinity of the probe with respect to the components of the extracellular vesicles. In addition, using the analysis method of the present invention not only enables accurate analysis of extracellular vesicles in a sample, without a sample purification or pre-processing step, but also enables accurate and simple analysis of the components of extracellular vesicles, according to the kind of probe, and thus can improve the efficiency of diagnosis using extracellular vesicles. Also, analysis of the properties or affinity of the probe can be applied to, for example, extracellular vesicle-specific antibody screening, protein screening and chemical-substance screening.
