Circulating extracellular vesicle‐associated CD163 and CD206 in multiple myeloma

Objectives Extracellular vesicles (EVs) are important for intercellular signalling in cancer. Tumour‐associated macrophages, expressing the haemoglobin‐haptoglobin and mannose receptors CD163 and CD206, are crucial for cancer progression. We recently identified CD163 on EVs in the circulation as a fraction of total soluble CD163 (sCD163). Here, we investigated the presence of CD163 and CD206‐positive EVs (EV‐CD163, EV‐CD206) in patients with...
