Abstract:
Objective To investigate the immunomodulation of PCF on the immunosuppressed mice. Methods The immunosuppressed model was established by injection of dexamethasone (DEX) intraperitoneally. Effects of PCF on the immunity were studied by the observation of morphology of immune organ, the analysis of T lymphocytes subsets and the measurement of lymphoproliferative ability. Results PCF could markedly improve the low immunoreaction of immunosuppressed mice caused by DEX. It was showed that the white pulp of spleen was enlarged, the quantity of T lymphocytes of the peripheral blood was increased and the response of lymphoproliferation to ConA was enhanced in the test group compared to those in the model group. Conclusion PCF had the abilities to up-regulate the immunity in vivo,which may be due to its influences on the peripheral mature immunocytes.
