A Comparison of Characterization and Its Actions on Immunocompetent Cells of Polysaccharides from Sijunzi Decoction

Figure 3

Immunomodulatory activity of SJZDP, S-3, and S-3-AG on splenocytes. Adherent splenocytes were incubated with various concentrations of polysaccharides (12.5, 50, and 200 µg/mL) for 48 h. The DMEM medium and ConA (10 µg/mL) were used as the blank and positive control, respectively. (a) Effects of S-3-AG, S-3, and SJZDP on splenocyte proliferation. (b) Effects of S-3-AG, S-3, and SJZDP on IFN-γ production of splenocytes. (c) Effects of S-3-AG, S-3, and SJZDP on IL-4 production of splenocytes. Each value was expressed as mean ± SD (n = 3). indicates ; indicates compared with the blank control.
