Abstract
Size of membrane microparticles (MPs) from blood plasma and MPs produced in vitro by activated endothelial cells (ECs), monocytes, THP-1 monocytic cells, granulocytes, and platelets was evaluated by dynamic light scattering. MPs were sedimented from the culture media, cell supernatants, and plasma at 20 000 g for 30 min. Average diameters of all types of MPs ranged from 300 to 600 nm. Plasma MPs had the smallest size. Close sizes were registered for MPs from platelets and THP-1 cells. MPs from monocytes were larger, and MPs from granulocytes and ECs were the largest ones. The data obtained indicate that the size of membrane MPs depends on the type of their cell-producers.Mesh：
