1Fujian Institute for Drug Control, Fuzhou 350001.
Objective:
To study the effect of water extracts from the stem and leaf of Tripterygium wilfordii Hook. f. on Hook. f. immune function.
Methods:
The effect of the stem and leaf of Trpterygium wilfordii on the clearance of charcoal particles, the index of thymus gland and spleen, the level of serum hemolysin and the delayed hypersensitivity were observed in mice by ig.
Results:
The stem and leaf of Tripterygium wilfordi could decrease the clearance of charcoal particles, the index of thymus gland and spleen, the level of serum hemolysin and inhibit the delayed hypersensitivity in mice.
Conclusion:
The stem and leaf of Tripterygium wilfordii could inhibit nonspecific, humeral and cellular immunity.
