ABSTRACT
Background@#Herbal medicines continue to be widely used as natural promoters of good health, as immune-modulators in recent years. This situation is directly related to the rapid growth of natural based products, the decrease of chemical synthesized products and as well as the increase of natural substance consumption. @*Objective@#The purpose of this survey was to study influence of Immunos herbal medicines on immune system in the experimental and preclinical circumstances.@*Materials and Methods@#The immune deficiency was to created by Azathioprine through 5 days in the white mice after that control group, preparation of Immunal, Salimon and Immunos 1, 2 were administrated appropriate doses by oral during 10 days. Then we collected blood and quantified number of white blood cells (K/µL), quantity of splenocyte (×106 cell/ml), amount of CD4+, CD8+ and IgM, IgA, Ig G (mg/ml) (Elisa Kit Assay: Catalog. No: WAM-568 (Elisa Reader, 450 nm)-WKEA MED SUPPLIES CORP) on the 5th, 10th days.@*Results@#All statistical analyses were conducted with SPSS version 20.0 software (IBM, Armonk, NY). One-way ANOVA was used to assess statistical significance between Immunos groups and days of observation. Mean values of white blood cells in blood, quantity of splenocyte, CD4+, CD8+ and IgM, IgG levels determined in the control and experimental groups. White blood cells level were significantly increased in the Immunos group compared with the control group by 55.6 percent (11.5±0.9 K/µL vs 5.1±0.51 K/µL, p<0.001) and number of splenocyte increased Immunos group compared with the control group by 60.6 % (352.2±23.5 ×106 cell/ml vs 138.6±23.5 ×106 cell/ml, p<0.01). Therefore, CD4+, CD8+ and IgM, IgG levels were significantly increased in the Immunos group compared with the control group by 0.71 to 8.8% (IgG: 11.47±0.42 vs 10.45±0.43 μg/ml, IgM: 11.33±0.81 vs 10.48±0.31 μg/ml, CD4+: 10.44±0635 vs 10.04±0.372 U/ml, CD8+: 9.75±1.02 vs 9.68±0.45 U/ml p<0.02).@*Conclusion@#It’s concluded that, Immunos preparation shows immune-stimulator effect in cellular immunity and humoral immunity in the case of immunosuppressant by Azathioprine.
ABSTRACT
Purpose: The document outlines the preferred methods for collecting blood from laboratory animals and blood collection volume and frequency limits. Blood collection for experimental purposes must comply with researchers of the Drug research institute (DRI) approved protocol, including approved collection techniques, volumes, and frequencies. The Department of Pharmacology researchers train investigators in various collection techniques. The researcher may collect blood for veterinary care purposes using accepted clinical techniques ensuring volumes collected do not adversely affect animal health.Blood Collection Limits: The DRI limits one time survival blood collection to 7.5% of an animal’s blood volume in most circumstances. Serial blood sampling limit vary by species, strain and frequency of blood collection. The DRI may require monitoring for anemia (using assays such as hematocrit and/or serum protein levels) when repeated collection of larger volumes are required. Blood collected for diagnostics or other veterinary procedures must be considered when evaluating total volume available for experimental use. In all cases blood collection volumes should be limited to the minimum volume that will allow for successful experimentation or diagnostics.

ABSTRACT
The genus Iris belongs to the family Iridaceae and comprises of over 300 species and fifteen species of genus Iris are found in Mongolia. Iris has long history of use in various indigenous systems of medicine as alternative aperients, stimulant, cathartic, diuretic, gall bladder diseases, liver complaints, dropsy, purification of blood, venereal infections, fever and bilious infections and for a variety of heart diseases. Rhizomes of Iris are rich source of secondary metabolites and most of these metabolites are reported to possess anticancer, antiplasmodial, anticholinesterase, enzyme inhibitor and immunomodulatory properties. Approximately more than two hundred compounds have been reported from the genus Iris, which includes flavones, isoflavones, glycocides, benzoquinones, triterpinoids, stilbene glycosides and organic acids. In this article, we reviewed the published results of phytochemical and pharmacological studies of some Iris species which are grown in Mongolia.
