Tumor markers refer to the specific substances that exist in tumor cells themselves or are secreted by tumor cells. They can reflect the existence and growth of the tumor. The serum tumor biomarkers have been widely applied in tumor detection,but the detection of these markers is based on the tumor antigens,and thus has many inadequacies in tumor screening and diagnosis. In this paper,we reviewed autoantibodies as tumor biomarkers against self-antigens in vivo. This method is to examine the tumor autoantibodies by using the tumor antigens,and its specificity and sensitivity are superior to the traditional examination methods. Using autoantibodies to detect tumors would provide a new method for tumor screening and diagnosis.

Objective Investigating the expression of TLR3 and TLR7 mRNA in peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMC) of patients with chronic hepatitis C infection (CHC),to explore the effects of gender and age on Toll-like receptor expres-sion.Methods Peripheral blood was collected from 1 1 5 patients of chronic hepatitis C infection,1 1 3 healthy individuals.Ex-pression levels of TLR3 and TLR7 mRNA were detected by real-time quantitative PCR.Results The expression of TLR3 and TLR7 mRNA were significant difference between patients with CHC infection and healthy individuals (t=38.73,6.16, P<0.05),respectively.The expression of TLR3 and TLR7 mRNA were significant difference between premenopausal fe-males with CHC infection,postmenopausal females and young males of CHC infection (t=61.210,6.464,P<0.05;t=24.166,26.266,P<0.05),respectively.The expression of TLR3 and TLR7 mRNA were significant differences between old males and young males of chronic hepatitis CHC infection (t=86.349,19.583,P<0.05).The expression of TLR3 mRNA was significant differences between old males and postmenopausal females of CHC infection (t=122.941,P<0.05).There was no correlation between the expressions of TLR3 and TLR7 and HCV-RNA load of CHC patents of Gender and age dis-crepancies (|r|<0.40,P>0.05).The HCV-RNA load of premenopausal females was significant lower than young males and old females (t=3.49,2.51,P<0.05),the load of old males was lower than old females (t=2.35,P<0.05),however, there was no significant differences between old males and old females (t=1.20,P<0.05).Conclusion Gender and age dis-crepancies have a relationship with the expression of Toll-like receptors of patients with CHC infection,which may provide a theoretical basis and a new method for CHC.
