[Enhancing effect of kang shuai sen fang on immune functions of mice].
In this report the authors studied the effects of kang shuai sen fang (KSSF) on the immune functions of mice. The results indicated that KSSF was able to enhance the proliferation response of spleen cells of mice to Con A and LPS. At the dosage of 400 mg/kg.d, KSSF could stimulate the production of plague forming cells (PFC), the DTH response induced by allogeneic splenocytes. The mixed lymphocyte reaction was much stronger in the drug-receiving group than that in the control group. Further study indicated that KSSF was able to enhance the activities of cytotoxic T lymphocyte and the production of interleukin 2.
