Structure of microvesicles (MVs). MVs consist of a phospholipid membrane bi-layer and contain transmembrane proteins (ligands and receptors), adhesion molecules and common markers including major histocompatibility complexes (MHC), and heat shock 70-kDa proteins. MVs are enriched with tetraspanins and cytoskeletal proteins and possess a set of proteins and nucleic acids unique to the cell of origin.
