Modulatory effects of compound polysaccharide erweikang on the immune function of mice

In order to study the modulatory effects of compound polysaccharide Erweikang on the immune function of the immunosuppressive mice, the positive immune modulation of Erweikang at different doses and different time points was compared when normal saline and cyclophosphamide served as controls. The results showed that different doses of Erweikang could effectively reverse the decreased induction levels of NK, IL-2, gamma-IFN and the contents of TNF and IgF of the immunosuppressive mice after administration of Erweikang for 7 to 14 days. It was suggested that compound polysaccharide Erweikang presents positive immune modulation in dose- and time-dependent manners.
