Expression of adenosinergic ectoenzymes on MV isolated from BM plasma samples with low or high NB infiltration.
The expression of CD38, CD203a/PC-1, CD39, and CD73 has been evaluated by flow cytometry on MV isolated from BM plasma samples obtained from NB patients with high (n = 10, black dots) or low (n = 6, white dots) NB infiltration. Results are expressed as MRFI (panel a), percentage of positive MV (panel b) or percentage of MV with high expression (panel c). Horizontal bars indicated medians. p values are indicated where differences are statistically significant (t-test for CD38 and PC-1, Mann-Whitney test for the other ectoenzymes)
