Independent human mesenchymal stromal cell–derived extracellular vesicle preparations differentially attenuate symptoms in an advanced murine graft-versus-host disease model

Abstract

Standardized MSC-EV production strategies may not be sufficient to warrant manufacturing of MSC-EV products with reproducible qualities. Consequently, given this functional heterogeneity, every individual MSC-EV preparation considered for the clinical application should be evaluated for its therapeutic potency before administration to patients. Here, upon comparing immunomodulating capabilities of independent MSC-EV preparations in vivo and in vitro, we found that the mdMLR assay was qualified for such analyses.
