Three other antigens (SR140 protein, SFRS2IP, RNPC2) may be involved in the regulation of alternative mRNA splicing, PSMA7 is related to hepatitis B and hepatitis C viral replication (Zhang et al, 2000; Kruger et al, 2001), and the remaining 12 antigens have no known association with cancer or hepatitis B or hepatitis C. Here, RBM39 is linked to hepatitis C virus infection.
