Figure 1. 

EGFRvIIIPOS tumor cells communicate through exosome/oncosome transfer of cytosolic and cellular membrane components or via cytokine signaling pathways to effect adjacent EGFRvIIINEG tumor cells within the tumor microenvironment. This activity leads to increased tumorigenic cellular phenotypes to include transfer of oncogenic epitopes and properties [51–54].
