The inventors have discovered that a CKbeta8-1 truncation variant, CKbeta8-1 (25-116), is a bifunctional ligand for two distinct GPCRs, chemokine receptor CCR1 and formyl peptide receptor like 1 (FPRL1). Hence, the inventors have discovered that, in addition to its functional activity on CCR1, CKbeta8-1(25-116) is also a functional ligand for the GPCR receptor FPRL1 that is involved in inflammatory reactions and innate immunity by recruiting monocytes and neutrophils. In addition, the inventors have discovered an alternatively spliced exon of CKbeta8-1, named SHAAGtide. SHAAGtide, along with its parent chemokine CKbeta8-1 (25-116), is fully functional on both monocytes and neutrophils that are known to express FPRL1.

The invention discloses a biomarker for forecasting the new auxiliary chemotherapy curative effect of breast cancer and a fluorescence quantitative immune PCR kit. The biomarker is at least one of a CCL2 gene, a CCR1 gene, a CXCL10 gene, a CXCL11 gene and an IL2RG gene. The five genes of the biomarker are efficiently expressed in a pCR group; the IL2RG gene has an extremely obvious expression difference (P is less than 0.01) in the pCR group and the NpCR group, and the other four genes have an obvious expression difference (P is less than 0.05) in the pCR group and the NpCR group; the five genes are indicated to be biomarkers for forecasting the new auxiliary chemotherapy curative effect of the breast cancer, and the blindness of new auxiliary chemotherapy is avoided.
