Objective To investigate the expression of CCL20 and CCR6 in the patients with gastric cancer and To examine the relationship between chemokine expression and the occurrence and development of Gastric Cancer. Methods Real-time PCR , flow cytometry and ELISA are used to measure the gene transcription and protein expression levels of chemokine CCL20 and CCR6 in the serum of 50 patients with Gastric Cancer and 30 normal controls. Results The gene expression levels CCL20 and CCR6 in Gastric Cancer group are significantly higher than that in healthy controls. The level protein of CCL20 and CCR6 in peripheral blood of patients with gastric cancer are significantly higher than that in healthy peep le[ (45.4 ±10.9) pg/mL vs (18.6±4.7) pg/mL; (7.11 ±1.03%) vs (1.83±0.43%), P＜0.01. respectively],and the increase significantlyassociated with the clinical stage of Gastric Cancer. Conclusions The method for detecting the expression of CCL20 and CCR6 in patient with Gastric Cancer has been successfully established, and their expression levels were found to be correlated with the occurrence and development of Gastric Cancer. Thus, CCL20 and CCR6 may be involved in the regulatory mechanisms associated with the development of Gastric Cancer, and may be valuable in its diagnosis and prevention.

Objective To express the major allergen of Blattella germanica (Bla g 2) in Pichia pastoris and obtain the soluble protein. Methods The known Bla g 2 gene was used to design the primers which had the restriction enzyme sites. PCR method was applied to obtain the Bla g 2 gene. The gene fragment was then cut and ligated with the Pichia expression vector pGAPZaA, resulting in a recombinant plasmid pGAPZaA-Bla g 2. The linearized pGAPZaA-Bla g 2 was transformed into Pichia pastoris GS115 through electroporation, then screened to positive transformants, and the protein was expressed in YPD medium. Purification of the recombinant protein was achieved by metal (Ni2+) chelating affinity chromatography and Western-blotting assay indicated its IgE binding capacity. Results With the expressed reeombinanl protein, SDS-PAGE showed the presence of the product in the supernatant of the culture with Mr 45 000. After 3 days culture, the recombinant protein occupied 50% of the total proteins in the supernatant. The recombinant protein was purified and Western-blot demonstrated an adequate IgE binding capacity of the product. Conclusion A recombinant protein of Bla g 2 has been obtained, which is soluble in the supernatant and therefore can avoid a process of denaturalization and renaturation of the recombinant.

Objective To identify and purify the allergens of Tyrophagus putrescentiae. Methods Tyrophagus putrescentiae extract was analyzed by SDS-PAGE and Western blotting, and was partially purified by DE52 anion-exchange chromatography and HiLoad 16, 60 Superdex 200 prep grade Size-exclusion chromatography. Results 23 bands were found after SDS-PAGE with comparative molecular weight (Mr) of 177 000, 118 000, 107 000, 70 000, 67 000, 60 000, 52 000, 45 000, 41 000, 40 000, 38 000, 37 000, 35 000, 27 000, 23 000, 22 000, 18 000, 17 000, 16 000, 15 000, 14 000, 13 00 and 12 000.
