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

Figure 4

Immunomodulatory activity of SJZDP, S-3, and S-3-AG on RAW 264.7 cells. Adherent RAW 264.7 macrophages were incubated with various concentrations of polysaccharides (12.5, 50, and 200 µg/mL) for 48 h. The DMEM medium and LPS (5 µg/mL) were used as the blank and positive control. (a) Effects of S-3-AG, S-3, and SJZDP on RAW 264.7 cell viability. (b) Effects of S-3-AG, S-3, and SJZDP on phagocytic activity. (c) Effects of S-3-AG, S-3, and SJZDP on NO production. (d) Effects of S-3-AG, S-3, and SJZDP on TNF-α production. Each value was expressed as mean ± SD (n = 3). indicates ; indicates compared with the blank control.
