Objective To investigate mRNA and protein expression of aproliferation-inducing ligand (APRIL) in peripheral blood mononuclear cell and plasma of patients with B cells non-Hodgkin lymphoma (B-NHL) pre- or post- chemotherapy and to explore the role of APRIL in the B-NHL. Methods The mRNA and protein expression of APRIL were detected by real-time fluorescence quantitative polymerase chain reaction (RFQ-PCR) and enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay(ELISA), respectively. According to the standard curves,the quantitative levels of target mRNA and protein were determined. Results The detection linear range of targeted mRNA by RFQ-PCR was 101-109 pg/ml, and the coefficient of variation values for both intra- and inter-experimental reproducibility ranged 1.69 %-5.99 % and 6.35 %-10.12 %, respectively. To detect expression of APRIL protein by ELISA, the correlation coefficient of standard curves reached 0.9922. Before or after chemical treatment, the expression levels of APRIL mRNA and protein in patients with B-NHL were significantly higher than those in normal control (P <0.01), while the expression levels in post-treatment patients with Ⅲ and Ⅳ stage were lower than those of pre-treatment patients with corresponding stage (P <0.05, respectively), but those of pre- and post-treatment patients with Ⅰ / Ⅱ stage were not different (P >0.05).Conclusion The expression level of APRIL mRNA is similar to that of APRIL protein. APRIL may be involved in pathogenesis and development of B-NHL. Moreover, APRIL may be related to the burden of B-NHL and it may be considered as a targeted molecule for B-NHL.

Objective To construct an electrochemical immunosensor for ultrasensitive determination of myeloperoxidase (MPO) .Methods The electrochemical immunosensor for M PO was prepared by modifying the electrode using Au-graphitized me-soporous carbon nanoparticles(AuNPs@ GMCs) hybrid and immobilizing MPO antibodies onto the glass carbon electrode surface . The effect of experimental parameters on the immunosensor and results comparison with ELISA were investigated .Results The immunosensor was sensitive to M PO with a linear relationship between 2 .000 and 300 .000 ng/mL and a correlation coefficient of 0 .999 ;the detection limit was 0 .5 ng/mL .The correlation coefficient of two methods was 0 .983 .Conclusion The immunosensor can be used for ultrasensitive detection of MPO .
