Abstract<\/h2>\r\nTumor-derived blood-circulating\u00a0exosomes\u00a0have potential as a biomarker to greatly improve cancer treatment. However, effective isolation of\u00a0exosomes\u00a0remains a tremendous technical challenge. This study presents a novel nanostructured polymer\u00a0surface\u00a0for highly effective\u00a0capture\u00a0of\u00a0exosomes\u00a0through strong avidity.\r\n\r\nVarious\u00a0surface\u00a0configurations, consisting of multivalent\u00a0dendrimers, PEG, and\u00a0tumor-targeting antibodies, were tested\u00a0using\u00a0exosomes\u00a0isolated from\u00a0tumor\u00a0cell lines. We found that a dual layer\u00a0dendrimer\u00a0configuration exhibited the highest efficiency in\u00a0capturing\u00a0cultured\u00a0exosomes spiked into human serum. Importantly, the optimized surface\u00a0captured\u00a0a > 4-fold greater amount of\u00a0tumor\u00a0exosomes\u00a0from head and neck cancer patient plasma samples than that from healthy donors. Nanomechanical analysis\u00a0using\u00a0atomic force microscopy also revealed that the enhancement was attributed to multivalent binding (avidity) and augmented short-range adhesion mediated by\u00a0dendrimers. Our results support that the\u00a0dendrimer\u00a0surface\u00a0detects\u00a0tumor\u00a0exosomes\u00a0at high sensitivity and specificity, demonstrating its potential as a new cancer liquid biopsy platform.\r\n\r\n\"visualization\r\n\r\n
