title: [Study on effect of polysaccharides of ginseng on peripheral blood mononuclear cell induced interleukin-2 production and activity of its receptors in vitro].
abstract: To study the effect of polysaccharides of Ginseng (PSG) on cellular-immunity from healthy subjects and patients of kidney disease, the peripheral blood mononuclear cell (PBMC) induced interleukin-2 (IL-2) were assayed in vitro. It was found that the PSG could prommote the PBMC induced IL-2 in the healthy subjects and patients with kidney diseases and was dose-dependent. This study revealed that PSG was worthwhile to be further studied as an approach of biological responsive modifier therepy in treating human immunodeficiency diseases.
