Therapeutic Benefit in Allergic Dermatitis Derived from the Inhibitory Effect of Byakkokaninjinto on the Migration of Plasmacytoid Dendritic Cells

Figure 1

The effects of byakkokaninjinto on the migration of BMpDCs. Chemotactic responses were induced in BMpDCs by stimulation with the CCR7 ligand CCL21. Time-lapse images of the migration of BMpDCs treated with byakkokaninjinto (0.1 mg/ml) or the vehicle were recorded in an EZ-TAXIScan chemotaxis assay. (a) The number of byakkokaninjinto-treated BMpDCs that migrated during 30 minutes is indicated by the line graph and (b) data are expressed as the mean ± SE (, vs. the vehicle; n = 3). The effects of byakkokaninjinto on the velocity and directionality of BMpDC migration are represented by the bar chart; (c) data are expressed as the mean ± SE (, vs. the vehicle; n = 5).
