Abstract
Kamiinsamyangyoung-tang(KIT) has been widely used to treat amenorrhea and bradymenorrea caused from vital energy and blood deficit. KIT was composed of Insamyangyoung-tang, Cervi Cornu Pantotrichum and Hominis Placenta. The aim of this study is to investigate effect of KIT on Immune response and Blood formation. We investigated thymocytes, splenocytes population, ${\gamma}$-interferon, IL-2, IL-4, NO and phagocytic activity. We found that KIT had no effect on the Th and Tc cell population of thymocytes, Th cell population of splenocytes and ${\gamma}$-interferon quantity was decreased. KIT decreased the formation of Nitric Oxide from abdominal macrophage, on the other hand, it had no influence on the quantity of IL-2, IL-4.
