(a) Effect of red kidney bean lectin on multiplication of mouse splenic lymphocytes (OD₅₇₀ va1ue). (b) Influence of CHPs applied separately, and concurrent application of CHPs with 12.5 𝜇g/mL red kidney bean lectin, on multiplication of mouse splenic lymphocytes (OD₅₇₀ va1ue). CHP: Chinese herbal polysaccharide; APS: Astragalus mongholicus polysaccharide; PWP: Poria cocos polysaccharide; ASP: Angelica sinensis polysaccharide; IRP: indigowoad root polysaccharide. Data represent means±SD (n = 3). Data were analyzed by one-way analysis of variance. ^∗𝑃<.05, ^∗∗𝑃<.01, compared with CHP applied alone.
