[Effect of ethyl acetate extract of Eclipta prostrata on mice of normal and immunosupression].
OBJECTIVE
The regulatory effects of ethyl acetate extract of Eclipta prostrata (EAEEP) on immune function were studied.


METHODS
The experimental immunosuppressive mice models were induced by injection of cyclophosphamide or hydrocartisone.


RESULTS
The index of spleen in normal mice were decreased significantly. So was the level of hemolysin in serum, Delayed trpe hypersensitivity was also inhibited at the same condition. But EAEEP can increase all these indexes in immunosuppressive mice.


CONCLUSIONS
EAEEP possesses obvious regulatory action on immune function in mice.
