Recently, small extracellular vesicles (sEVs) secreted in vivo from chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL) preclinical murine models were characterized. Leukemia microenvironment sEV (LME-sEVs) selectively target CD8+ T-cells, inducing exhaustion and hampering anti-tumor immune response. Additionally, a sEV-related gene expression correlated with patient treatment-free survival, overall survival and clinical parameters.
