High expression of hTERT and stemness genes in BORIS/CTCFL positive cells isolated from embryonic cancer cells.

BORIS/CTCFL is a member of cancer testis antigen family normally expressed in germ cells. In tumors, it is aberrantly expressed although its functions are not completely well-defined. To better understand the functions of BORIS in cancer, we selected the embryonic cancer cells as a model. Using a mo...
