Abstract

In order to investigate the effects of Gudambopae-Tang on allergic rhinitis, laboratory study about cytokines and OVA-specific IgE was perfomed in the present study. The results are summarized as follow; 1. IL4, IL-5 was increased in medicating group than control group. 2. $IFN-{\gamma}$ was increased in medicating group than control group. 3. total IgE and OVA-specific IgE was significant decreased in medicating group than control group, statistically significant. This study shows experimentally that Gudambopae-tang could reduce allergic reaction in allergic rhinitis. Advanced studies are required to investigate the mechanisms of herbal medicine in allergic rhinitis model.
