Abstract
Venous blood is a convenient source of circulating extracellular vesicles (EVs). However, blood sampling requires authorized personnel and immediate purification of the vesicles. The present study demonstrate that intact EVs can in fact be obtained from dried blood card samples (or dried blood spots; DBS), which can be
prepared by unauthorized personnel, or even at home by the user and shipped by regular mail. Intact EVs can be detected in extracts from dried blood spot samples even after prolonged storage.
