Abstract:
Objective To investigate the levels of interleukin-15(IL-15) in children with acute leukemia and contribute to understand their function on acute leukemia about the process.Methods Every group of acute lymphocytic leukemia(ALL),acute nonlymphocytic leukemia(ANLL) or non-leukemia group had 20 children who did not receive any treatment. Peripheral blood of every group and 20 other healthy children were aspirated .The levels of IL-15 in serum was analyzed by enzyme linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA).Results The levels of IL-15 in ALL group,ANLL group, non-leukemia group and healthy children were (34.37?2.8) ng/L, (29.61?3.2 )ng/L, (117.54?3.9) ng/L, (122.23?4.2) ng/L. Compared with the levels of the healthy group or the non-leukemia group, the difference of ALL or ANLL was signicant in statistics(q=3.95,4.03 Pa0.05).Conclusion Detection of serum IL-15 levels may have clinical significance in judging the anti-tumor immune condition in children with leukemia.
