Abstract |
The ovarian follicular fluid (FF) is a complex fluid that constitutes the microenvironment of developing follicles and contains factors secreted by the surrounding cells and blood plasma compounds that cross the "blood-follicle barrier." Upon oocyte retrieval (in human, bovine, and equine) the follicular fluid is normally discarded and represents a repertoire of cellular messages exchanged during follicle development, thus providing a suitable sample for performing oocyte quality diagnostics. Several studies report on the presence of extracellular vesicles (EVs) in FF from human, bovine and equine. Here, we describe the process of FF collection from human and bovine and the enrichment and isolation of EVs that we termed folliculosomes (FFEs), using available commercial kits as well as the traditional ultracentrifugation methods. |
