Description

BORIS/CTCFL (for brother of the regulator of imprinted sites), a paralogue of the transcription factor CTCF, is a recently described novel member of the cancer-testis (CT) antigen family (Loukinov D, et al. Proc Natl Acad Sci USA 2002;99:6806). BORIS expression appears to be restricted to testicular germ cells and to a vast majority of neoplastic cells including both cancer cell lines and primary tumors (Klenova EM, et al. Semin Cancer Biol 2002;12:399)
