Abstract

Extracellular RNAs are initiating increased interest due to their potentials in serving as novel biomarkers, mediators of intercellular communication, and therapeutic applications. As a newly emerging field, one of the main obstacles is the lack of standardized protocols for RNA isolations. Here we describe protocols for commercially available kits that have been modified to yield consistent results for isolation of extracellular RNA from both whole serum/plasma and extracellular vesicle-enriched serum/plasma samples.
