Abstract:
A sensitive immunocytochemical technique has been used to study the effect of Cordyceps Sinesis on the IgM and IgG antibody-forming cells in mouse spleen. The results indicate that after the mice have been treated for 7 days with Cordyceps Sinesis, their splenic nodules were increasing, the germinal centers became prominent and the marginal zones were thickening. The immunocytochemical results disclosed that a huge amount of IgM and IgG lymphocytes appeared in the splenic nodules, especially in the marginal zones, which were thickening due to the proliferation of the IgM-lymphocytes. In the red pulp, a large amount of IgM- and IgG-plasma cells were peripherally located in the terminal arteries or sinuses, indicating that it may be convenient for the plasma cells to release the antibodies into blood circulation. The results suggest that the Cordyceps Sinesis could stimulate the IgM-and IgG-lymphocytts to proliferate and promote the forming of antibodies.
