Here, we present a protocol for separating EVs from mammalian pancreatic cancer cells and their characterization using western blot and electron microscopy. We then demonstrate how they are utilized to affect tumor development in a murine model of metastatic pancreatic cancer including a method to quantify hepatic tumor burden in histologic samples.
