ABSTRACT
Codnopsispilosula polysaccharides (CPP) , which administered intra-peritoneally 200mg/kg?d-1 for 5 d or 8 d in mice, enhanced thephagocytic activity of peritoneal macrophages on chiken RBC, the erythrocyte (E)rosette formation of thymus T lymphocyte and the clearance rate of charcoal particles in normal mice and antagonized the inhibition of E rosette formation and of peritoneal phagocytic activity caused by cyclophosphamide ( CY ) or hydrocortisone ( HCT ) . It inhibited the delayed type hypersensitivity ( DT H ) induced by DNCB and enhanced DT H induced by dexamethasons ( DMS ) . It has regulatory important signification in resisting decrepitude.
ABSTRACT
The concentration of the cyclic nucleotides and its relation with the E-RFC were determined by using ginseng rhizome saponin in human peripharal leukocytes.Result were compared with the ckange of the E-RFC by using cAMP.cGMP and theophylline. Experiments proved that girseng rhizome saponin mainly affected the lymphocytes and significantly increased the concentration of cAMP and cGMP,especially,the cAMP. Lymphocytes were incubated with ginseng rhizome saponin to form Et-RFC. It is different where lymphocytes were incubated in diffierent times. cAMP and theophylline reduced the Ea-RFC and Et-RFC, cGMP increased the Ea— RFC,but no effect to the Et-RFC. Ginseng rhizome or root saponin could promote the Ea-RFC,but inhibited the Et-RFC. It is consistent with the effect of both cAMP and cGMP. Experiments showed that ginseng rhizome saponin increased the concentration of cAMP and cGMP in human lyphocytes followed by that of E-RFC.It was suggested that the change of cyclic nucleotides in lymphocytes may be a mechanism of adjusting the immunity on cell level.
