摘要: Cells secrete extracellular vesicles (EVs) and non‐vesicular extracellular (nano)particles (NVEPs or ENPs) that may play a role in intercellular communication. Tumor‐derived EVs have been proposed to induce immune priming of antigen presenting cells or to be immuno‐suppressive agents. We suspect that such disparate functions are due to variable compositions in EV subtypes and ENPs. We aimed to characterize the array of secreted EVs and ENPs of murine tumor cell lines. Unexpectedly, we identified virus‐like particles (VLPs) from endogenous murine leukemia virus in preparations of EVs produced by many tumor cells. We established a protocol to separate small EVs from VLPs and ENPs. We compared their protein composition and analyzed their functional interaction with target dendritic cells. ENPs were poorly captured and did not affect dendritic cells. Small EVs specifically induced dendritic cell death …
