[Effects of fu-zheng jie-du decoction and cyclophosphamidum on the production of tumor necrosis factor in mice].
Fu-Zheng Jie-Du decoction (FZJD) was an adjuvant drug of anti-tumor. In the present paper, the authors studied the effects of FZJD and cyclophosphamidum (CTX) on tumor necrosis factor (TNF) production of peritoneal macrophages (PM) of normal and EMT6 solid tumor-bearing mice. The results showed that in vitro, lipopolysaccharide (LPS) could induce TNF production of PM of normal mice; in contrast; FZJD and CTX were unable to induce TNF and inhibited the LPS effect. In vivo, CTX could not influence the TNF production of PM of tumor-bearing mice but FZJD could enhance the TNF production of PM of tumor-bearing mice treated with CTX.
