Abstract:Objective: To evaluate the effect of the polysaccharide from Eclipta prostrasta L. on the immune function of mice. Method: Kunming mice were randomly divided into 5 groups,the low,middle,high doses of the polysaccharide, the positive drug group and normal control group,treated ig for 14 days. All the mice were experimented with peritoneal macrophage,hemolysin and hemolytic antibody plaques formation. Result: Compared with normal, polysaccharide of Eclipta prostrasta L. of three doses significantly increased the peritoneal macrophages phagocytic index and percentage(P<0.01),significantly promoted the hemolysin and hemolytic plaque formation in normal mice,particularly at the low dosage. Conclusion: The polysaccharide of Eclipta prostrasta L. can significantly increase the immune function in normal mice.
