The level of 20S proteasome in exosomes from plasma and ascites of ovarian tumor patients.

Patients	Ascites Volume	Level of the 20S Proteasome (α + β), RU
		Plasma	Ascites
OCPs, n = 30	<200 mL, n = 8	2.80 [2.38; 4.30] *	2.9 [2.39; 3.87] *
	200–1000 mL, n = 8	2.10 [1.07; 3.90]	1.10 [0.77; 2.50]
	>1000 mL, n = 14	2.00 [0.56; 3.36]	1.50 [0.88; 2.70]
BOTPs, n = 20		1.00 [0.87; 1.20]	1.00 [0.75; 1.44]

Note: Median and range value [25; 75%], RU–related units; * Significant differences between BOTSs and OCPs, p < 0.05.
