Immunosuppressive Extracellular Vesicles in CLL

Blood Cancer Discov. 2023 Jan 6;4(1):5-7. doi: 10.1158/2643-3230.BCD-22-0161.

Abstract

Cancer cells need to evade the immune system for their progression. In this issue of Blood Cancer Discovery, Gargiulo and colleagues report that in a mouse model of chronic lymphocytic leukemia, small extracellular vesicles inhibit antitumor immunity by altering CD8 T-cell transcriptome, proteome, and metabolome. See related article by Gargiulo et al., p. 54 (9).
