Identification of Immunomodulatory Signatures Induced by American Ginseng in Murine Immune Cells
Figure 2
Proliferation status of different groups of splenic cells by MTT assay. Murine cells were divided into four groups, which were treated with saline, ConA, DEX, and DEX/ConA, respectively, as described in Section 2. After 24 h incubation, MTT assays were performed to evaluate the proliferation status of the cells. Triplicates were averaged to generate the final results. Compared with the naïve groups (NORM and DEX), the cells of activated groups (NORMA and DEXA) showed higher proliferation rate. In addition, the cells of DEX group showed lower proliferation rate compared with the NORM group. denotes comparison between normal naïve (NORM) and normal activated (NORMA) groups; § denotes comparison between deficient naïve (DEX) and deficient activated (DEXA) groups; * denotes comparison between normal naïve (NORM) and deficient naïve (DEX) groups.
