[Effects of alcohol extract from Polygonatum odoratum (Mill.) Druce and Cuscuta australis R. Br. on immunological function of mice injured by burns].
This paper shows that the alcoholic extract from Polygonatum odoratum and Cuscuta australis increases the percentage of phagocytosis and the index of phagocytosis of macrophages as well as hemolysin and proliferation of lymphocytes up to normal level in mice with II+ burn injury covering 5% body surface. It follows that both Polygonatum odoratum and Cuscuta australis may serve as a kind of immunopotentiator for mammals.
