Abstract

This study was purposed to investigate the effect of Gamgung-tang(GGT) on immune responses induced by glucocorticoid in mice. GGT solution was treated by intraperitoneal injection for 7 days after glucocorticoid treatment(80㎎/㎏). And then B and T cell proliferation and cytolytic activity of natural killer(NK) cells were measured. There was 25% inhibition in B cell proliferation with treatment of glucocorticoid. However, B cell proliferation was not influenced by GGT treatment. T cell proliferation was also inhibited by 18.4% with treatment of glucocorticoid. On the other hand, T cell proliferation was increased dose-dependent manner in GGT treated group. Furthermore in purified T cell, the proliferation was furtherly increased than non-purified T cell. At concentration of 18㎎/mouse GGT, purified T cell proliferation was increase to above level of normal group. The cytotoxic activity of NK cell was decreased by 35.3% with treatment of glucocorticoid. In GGT treated group, the cytotoxic activity of NK cell was increased to the normal level. In purified NK cell, the cytolytic activity of NK cell was further increased than non-purifed NK cell. These results suggest that GGT may proliferate T cell that is suppressed by glucocorticoid, and activate NK cell activity.
