SSC-A/FSC-A: side scattered light/forward scattered light; EVs: extracellular vesicles; PBS: citrated and phosphate-buffered saline; L/E: lidocaine/epinephrine. Blood was donated by three authors with no record of disease and was processed immediately after the addition of L/E. The region contained more than 90% of events in all density plots.
