TLDR
It is demonstrated that exosomes also are internalized and processed by immature DCs for presentation to CD4(+) T cells, implying that exOSomes present in circulation or extracellular fluids constitute an alternative source of self- or allopeptides for DCs during maintenance of peripheral tolerance or initiation of the indirect pathway of allorecognition in transplantation.

Exosome-mediated transfer of mRNAs and microRNAs is a novel mechanism of genetic exchange between cells

TL;DR: It is shown that exosomes contain both mRNA and microRNA, which can be delivered to another cell, and can be functional in this new location, and it is proposed that this RNA is called “exosomal shuttle RNA” (esRNA).
Journal ArticleDOI

Shedding light on the cell biology of extracellular vesicles.

TL;DR: Extracellular vesicles are now considered as an additional mechanism for intercellular communication, allowing cells to exchange proteins, lipids and genetic material.
Journal ArticleDOI

Biogenesis, Secretion, and Intercellular Interactions of Exosomes and Other Extracellular Vesicles

TL;DR: Exosomes were described as vesicles of endosomal origin secreted from reticulocytes in the 1980s as discussed by the authors, and their biogenesis, their secretion, and their subsequent fate are discussed, as their functions rely on these important processes.
Journal ArticleDOI

Biological properties of extracellular vesicles and their physiological functions

María Yáñez-Mó, +72 more
TL;DR: A comprehensive overview of the current understanding of the physiological roles of EVs is provided, drawing on the unique EV expertise of academia-based scientists, clinicians and industry based in 27 European countries, the United States and Australia.
Journal ArticleDOI

Membrane vesicles as conveyors of immune responses

TL;DR: The role of membrane vesicles, in particular exosomes, in the communication between immune cells, and between tumour and immune cells is focused on.

Dendritic cells and the control of immunity

TL;DR: Once a neglected cell type, dendritic cells can now be readily obtained in sufficient quantities to allow molecular and cell biological analysis and the realization that these cells are a powerful tool for manipulating the immune system is realized.
Journal ArticleDOI

Exosomes: composition, biogenesis and function

TL;DR: The physical properties that define exosomes as a specific population of secreted vesicles are described, their biological effects, particularly on the immune system, are summarized, and the potential roles that secretedvesicles could have as intercellular messengers are discussed.
Journal ArticleDOI

B lymphocytes secrete antigen-presenting vesicles.

TL;DR: It is demonstrated by immunoelectron microscopy that the limiting membrane of MIICs can fuse directly with the plasma membrane, resulting in release from the cells of internal MHC class II-containing vesicles, suggesting a role for exosomes in antigen presentation in vivo.
Journal ArticleDOI

Eradication of established murine tumors using a novel cell-free vaccine: dendritic cell-derived exosomes

TL;DR: Dendritic cells are shown to secrete antigen presenting vesicles, called exosomes, which express functional Major Histocompatibility Complex class I and class II, and T-cell costimulatory molecules, which prime specific cytotoxic T lymphocytes in vivo.
Journal ArticleDOI

Natural adjuvants: Endogenous activators of dendritic cells

TL;DR: It is reported here that, in the absence of any foreign substances, dendritic cells can be activated by endogenous signals received from cells that are stressed, virally infected or killed necrotically, but not by healthy cells or those dying apoptotically.
