Effect of Shin’iseihaito (Xinyiqingfeitang) on Acute Streptococcus pneumoniae Murine Sinusitis via Macrophage Activation

Figure 9

Ex vivo macrophage chemotaxis analysis. Chemotaxis of peritoneal macrophages was assayed using 24-well chemotactic chambers. (a) Left panel, migrated macrophages from SSHT-untreated mice; middle panel, migrated macrophages from SSHT-treated mice; right panel, unmigrated macrophage. (b) Comparison of chemotaxis assay between SSHT treatment and control. Left panel, the number of chemotaxis macrophages; right panel, chemotaxis index. SSHT (2.9 g/kg bw/day) was gavaged for 4 days, and peritoneal macrophages were collected. Data shown represent the mean ± SD by Student’s t-test. SSHT: Shin’iseihaito extract.
