Purpose To study the expression of Pokemon and p53 protein in Hodgkin's lymphoma( HL) as well as their relationship with apoptosis. Methods The expression of Pokemon and p53 was detected by immunohistochemical method in 60 cases of HL tissue and 20 cases of benign lymph nodes hyperplasia( BLH). Cell apoptosis was examined by TUNEL method. Results The positive rate of Pokemon protein expression was( 68. 33%) in HL,which was significantly higher than that of BLH( 30%)( P < 0. 05). The positive rate of p53 pro...
