The dysregulated inflammatory state persists after coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19), establishing the post-acute sequelae of SARS-CoV-2 infection in individuals with long COVID (LC).

Plasmatic EVs were isolated by differential centrifugation and evaluated by flow cytometry and atomic force microscopy (AFM). Leukocyte subpopulations and different sizes of circulating EVs (100\u2013200, 240\u2013500, &amp;gt;500 nm) were characterized for HLA-DR and CD169 expression in COV, LC, and HD through flow cytometry. Serum inflammatory markers were assessed by the ELLA immunoassay system.

Different HLA-DR and CD169 expressions were found according to EV size in COV, LC, and HD, and correlations with biochemical parameters and circulating inflammatory markers were found. A positive correlation of HLA-DR and CD169 expression among monocytes and circulating EVs was found, supporting a possible connection between the two compartments and circulating inflammatory mediators. Moreover, the characterization by flow cytometry of EV cell derivation and cytokine cargo revealed EVs as sensitive indicators of both acute and persistent immune perturbations, bridging viral antigen persistence with inflammatory signaling in long COVID.\n                    <\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Conclusion<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Myeloid activation markers and inflammatory cytokines are dynamically expressed between blood cells and circulating extracellular vesicles, underlining multilevel cell-to-cell communications, opening new possibilities to monitor COVID-19 and long COVID-associated sequelae.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.3389\/fcimb.2026.1686186","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2026,2,11]],"date-time":"2026-02-11T07:22:49Z","timestamp":1770794569000},"update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3389\/crossmark-policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":2,"title":["CD169+ and HLA-DR+ extracellular vesicles are highly represented in human plasma and dynamically expressed in SARS-CoV-2 infection and long COVID-associated sequelae"],"prefix":"10.3389","volume":"16","author":[{"given":"Marialaura","family":"Fanelli","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Experimental Medicine, University of Rome Tor Vergata","place":["Rome, Italy"]}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Vita","family":"Petrone","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Experimental Medicine, University of Rome Tor Vergata","place":["Rome, Italy"]}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Rossella","family":"Chirico","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Experimental Medicine, University of Rome Tor Vergata","place":["Rome, Italy"]}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Luigi","family":"Coppola","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Infectious Diseases Clinic, Policlinic of Tor Vergata","place":["Rome, Italy"]}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Chiara","family":"Sorace","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Infectious Diseases Clinic, Policlinic of Tor Vergata","place":["Rome, Italy"]}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Chiara","family":"Cipriani","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Experimental Medicine, University of Rome Tor Vergata","place":["Rome, Italy"]}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Giovanni","family":"Longo","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Istituto di Struttura della Materia ISM -
