Table 3. Antigen roles, as indicated from the literature.

Antigen Role Literature
NUCL Abundant in exponentially growing cells Cytoplasmic and surface NUCL in gliomas Surface NUCL is dependent on association with actin cytoskeleton Cell-surface NUCL is a novel angiogenesis marker [33, 6870]
VIM Role in formation of lamellipodia and invadipodia during cell invasion and migration Typical for infiltrative gliomas with poor prognosis Marker for epithelial to mesenchymal transition Differentially expressed in glioblastomas [39, 7173]
NAP1L1 Human NAP1L1 locates within the nucleus of dividing cells Co-existence of NAP1L1 and NAP1L4 in neural stem cells and neurons Transcriptional regulation NAP1L1 is overexpressed in small-intestinal carcinoids [7478]
TUFM Chaperone-like properties in protein folding and renaturation under stress conditions Translational expression of mitochondrial DNA Involved in head and neck squamous cell carcinoma Overexpressed in colorectal carcinoma [7981]
DPYSL2 Highly expressed during brain development, rarely in post-developmental brain Over-expressed in colorectal carcinoma Altered expression in glioblastomas Promoter of microtubule assembly and neuronal development [38, 71, 82, 83]]
CRMP1 Decreased in glioblastomas expressing EGFRvIII Invasion suppressor gene in lung cancer Associated with microtubule-containing structures in mitotic cells [38, 84, 85]
ALYREF Transport of fully processed mature mRNA out of the nucleus NUP107 complex (consisting of ALYREF, SNRPE, NUP107 and NUP50) is altered in 19% of glioblastomas [37, 86]
