Figure Lengend Snippet: Figure 4. (A) Free and vesicular Hsp70 (ng/mL) levels measured in the plasma of healthy donors (n = 118; Hsp70 median, 18.9 ng/mL) and patients with oligodendroglioma (n = 10; Hsp70 median, 14.8 ng/mL), astrocytoma (n = 13; Hsp70 median, 27.5 ng/mL), and GBM (n = 76; Hsp70 median, 45.4 ng/mL), as measured using the Hsp70-exo ELISA. (B) Free Hsp70 levels measured in the serum of healthy donors (n = 150; Hsp70 median, 2.6 ng/mL) and patients with oligodendroglioma (n = 7; Hsp70 median, 2.4 ng/mL), astrocytoma (n = 5, Hsp70 median, 3.4 ng/mL), and GBM (n = 51; Hsp70 median, 3.5 ng/mL) using the DuoSet® IC Human/Mouse/Rat Total Hsp70 ELISA. Statistically significant differences ** p < 0.01, **** p < 0.0001. (C) Size distribution of extracellular vesicles, (D) binding affinity (KD) of extracellular vesicles to cmHsp70.1 mAb, and (E) typical exosomal surface markers such as CD9, CD81, and Hsp70 on extracellular vesicles derived from a patient with astrocytoma.
Article Snippet: The concentration of free Hsp70 in the serum samples, as measured with the R&D Systems DuoSet® Total Hsp70 ELISA, was also significantly elevated in patients with GBM (** p < 0.01) compared to the healthy i dividuals (Figure 4B), with median Hsp70 levels of 3.5 ng/mL (GBM) nd 2.6 ng/mL (healthy), respectively.
