Suppression of Ongoing Experimental Arthritis by a Chinese Herbal Formula (Huo-Luo-Xiao-Ling Dan) Involves Changes in Antigen-Induced Immunological and Biochemical Mediators of Inflammation

Figure 6

A schematic representation of the diverse mechanisms involved in HLXL-induced immunomodulation of adjuvant arthritis. HLXL suppressed arthritis via the induction of disease-regulating cytokines coupled with the inhibition of pathogenic events that facilitated the initiation and propagation of arthritis. (*IFN- has a dual role in autoimmunity.)
