title: [Study on the effect of Part III from Cynomorium songaricum on immunosuppressive mice induced by cyclophosphamide].
abstract: OBJECTIVE
  To study the immunomodulatory effect of Part III of Cynomorium songaricum Rupr. on the immunosuppressive mice.
  
  
  METHODS
  The immunity-deficiency model was induced by intraperitoneal injection of cyclophosphamide (CTX) at the dose of 100 mg/kg in mice; all the animals were divided into normal control group, immunity-deficiency model group, Part III treated group (300 mg/kg) and positive control group (TSPG, 300 mg/kg). The hemogram of peripheral blood, the index of immune organs, the phagocytosis activity of macrophage, the content of serum hemolysin were measured.
  
  
  RESULTS
  The index of organs, the phagocytosis activity of macrophage and the content of serum hemolysin in the model group increased after administrated of Part III.
  
  
  CONCLUSIONS
  Part III from Cynomorium songaricum Rupr. has protective effect on the immunosuppressive mice, which may be related to the increasing of humoral immunity and nonspecific immunity.
