Abstract

Experiments have shown that Danggui injection enhances phagocytic function of macrophage in normal mice, and antagonizes the immunosuppressive activity of macrophage by cytoxan. The injection may increase the function of B cells and the activity of serum lysozyme, thus increasing the function of humoral immunity and nonspecific immunity.
