Tumour cells release membrane micro(nano)fragments called tumour‑derived microvesicles (TMV)
that are believed to play an important role in cancer progression. TMV suppress/modify antitumour response of the
host, but there is also some evidence for their direct interaction with cancer cells. In cancer patients TMV are present
in body fluid and tumour microenvironment. The present study aimed at characterization of whole types/subpopula‑
tions, but not only exosomes, of TMV from newly established gastric cancer cell line (called GC1415) and to define
their interactions with autologous cells.
