Introduction
• Exosomes “mini cells”, Ø 30-150 nm, spherical bilayer proteolipids,
contain proteins, RNA, DNA, intercellular communication, endocytic origin
• “exosomal shuttle RNA”
• Abundant in body fluids i.e serum/ plasma, urine, saliva, breast milk, CSF,
semen
• Exosomal marker tetraspanins (CD9, CD 63), Alix, and tumor
susceptibility gene 101 (TSG101)

Future Plans
• Compare the amount of exosomes derived
from saliva and blood between healthy
individuals and oral cancer patients to
develop a non-invasive diagnostic test
