Abstract: Extracellular vesicles (EVs) play a crucial role in facilitating communication between cancer cells and their immediate or remote microenvironments, thereby promoting the extensive spread of cancer throughout the body. In this context, we present a protocol for the isolation of tumor cell-derived EVs followed by in vivo metastasis assessment in a murine ovarian cancer model. We describe steps for the isolation and characterization of EVs from ID8 cells, development of a metastatic mouse model, and sample preparation for flow cytometry. For complete details on the use and execution of this protocol, please refer to Gupta et al.1 © 2024 The Authors
