The invention relates to primers, kit and method to detect transcriptional level of 
purine nucleotide phosphorylase PNP 
gene in 
macaque liver by RT-qPCR (real-time quantitative 
polymerase chain reaction), and belongs to the technical field of 
molecular biology. A template is made with cDNA synthesized by reverse transcription of 
total RNA extracted from fresh 
macaque liver tissue; a PCR primer combination is used to perform real-time fluorescent quantitative PCR amplification; Ct values of PNP 
gene fragments and 
reference gene GAPDH fragments, 
dissolution peaks, and amplification efficiency are attained; multiple-expressed 
delta delta C(t) value of the homogenize PNP 
gene is acquired by 
conventional treatment; relative expression value of the transcriptional level of PNP gene is acquired finally. An effective means to study PNP functionality of 
macaque and influence of relevant drugs upon PNP is provided; in addition, the primers, kit and method herein are applicable to real-time quantitative PCR detection and have the advantages of good operational simplicity, high 
repeatability, low detection cost, high sensitivity, high specificity and good convenience of popularization and application.
