Immunosuppressive Extracellular Vesicles in CLL.

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.
