In order In study the effects of an immunosuppression and a mitigation of inflammation of Gamiseungmagalgeuntang(GMSG) on the allergic contact dermatitis, contact hypersensitivity assay, mast cell, VCAM-1, and T cell of the lymph node in mice induced allergic contact dermatitis by the contacts-sensitizing DNCB were obsereved after oral administration of GMSG extract. The results of this study were as follows ; 1. Ear swelling in contact hypersensitivity assay was decreased in the GMSG group as compared with DNCB group. 2.
