Abstract:
The effects of RHPS & APS on immune function in normal mice and immunosuppressed mice were studied. The results showed that RHPS and APS enhanced not only the phagocytosis of peritoneal mac-rophages in normal mice, but also antagonized completely the immun- Osuppresslve effect of prednisoione. RHPS and APS increased both the lymphocyte transformation rate induced by PHA and ANAE+ rate in normal mice, and antagonized also the suppressive effects of GY or PDS. No significant influence was found on the proliferation of rabbit lymphocyter treated with PHA in vitro. It seems that no obvious difference of effect was found on immune function between RHPS and APS.
