초록

Objective : The purpose of this research is to examine the effects of Scutellariae Radix(SR) extract on immune cells in ovalbumin(OVA)-induced asthmatic mice. Methods : In vitro, C57BL/6 mice were exposed to OVA for 6 weeks. The mice lungs were taken out, chopped, grinded with collagenase and activated by rIL-3/rIL-5. The lung cells were treated with SR extract and analyzed by a flow cytometer. Results : The population of granulocytes/lymphocytes, CD3e-/CCR3+, CD69+/CD3e+, CD23+/B220+, CD4+ cells in the SR group in vitro decreased and population of CD8+ cells in the 100 and $10{\mu}g/m{\ell}$ SR group in vitro decreased, compared with that of control group. Conclusion : The results of this study support a role for SR as an effective treatment for asthma in its experimental success in significantly decreasing inflammation and asthma reactions.
