Abstract:Objective: To evaluate the effects of the extracts from stems and leaves of Oplopanax elatus on the immune functions of immune-suppressed mice by cyclophosphamide. Method: Mice were randomly divided into 5 groups: control group, model group, low, moderate and high dose groups (1.3, 2.6, 5.2 g ·kg-1) of the extracts from stems and leaves of O. elatus. The mice were examined for immune organ weight index, carbon particle clearance capability of macrophage, delayed type hypersensitivity. Result: Compared with model group, all dose groups could significantly increase the weight of the immune organs, carbon particle clearance capability of macrophage and delayed type hypersensitivity(P<0.05-P<0.01). Conclusion: The extracts from stems and leaves of O. elatus can enhance the immune functions in immune-suppressed mice.
