This manuscript describes the functional properties of the exosomes released from melanoma cells. It details the characteristics of the tumor antigen chondroitin sulfate proteoglycan 4 (CSPG4), which is used as a marker to separate exosomes released by melanoma cells from exosomes released by nonmalignant cells. The results are discussed in view of the potential role of melanoma cell-derived exosomes in the escape of malignant cells from the host's immune system.
本手稿描述了黑色素瘤细胞释放的外泌体的功能特性。它详细介绍了肿瘤抗原硫酸软骨素蛋白聚糖4(CSPG4)的特征,该抗原被用作将黑色素瘤细胞释放的外泌体与非恶性细胞释放的外泌体分离的标志物。鉴于黑色素瘤细胞衍生的外泌体在恶性细胞逃避宿主免疫系统中的潜在作用,对结果进行了讨论。
