The purpose of this research was to investigate the effect of Kamidangkwieumja(KDEJ) water extract on the allergy reaction in mice. The results were obtained as follows: 1. The passive cutaneous anaphylaxis induced by egg albumin in fat was not affected. 2. The lethal anaphylaxis induced by platelet activating factor in mice. was inhibited. 3. The degranulation of peritoneal mast cells induced by compound 48/80 was not affected. 4. The acute hind paw edema was inhibited after 2hours later when it was induced by histamine. 5. The permeability of evans blue into peritoneal cavity induced by acetic acid was not affected. 6. Arthus reaction in mice was not affected. 7. The delayed type hypersensitivity induced by SRBC was inhibited. 8. The contact dermatitis induced by DNFB was not affected. 9. The hemagglutination titer induced by SRBC was inhibited. 10. The writhing syndrome induced by acetic acid was inhibited. 11. The population of heper T cells in mice thymus was enhanced. 12. The phagocytic activity of peritoneal macrophages was enhanced. 13. The production of nitric oxide from peritoneal macrophages was not affected. These results suggest that the anti-allergy effect of KDEJ is caused by steroidlike and enhanced immune action. The steroidlike action of KDEJ correspond with steroid-applying-method that frequently used in clinic, so it is used io treatment of psoriasis. The research on anti-allergy of KDEJ might has to be continued.

Systematic pharmacological studies on powdered whole part of unossified antler obtained from Cervus nippon Temminck var. mantchuricus have been carried out in mice and rats. Powdered antler, with a single oral administration, showed a very weak acute and subacute toxicity; its MLD being >5g/kg orally in mice. On daily oral treatments of the antler for 14 days, it did not cause any significant differences in body weight gain, various organ weights and serum transaminase activities compared to those of the control rats. Powdered antler, with a single oral administration, showed a remarkable analgesic activity as evaluated by writhing syndrome and tail-pressure test, a weak CNS depressant activity as well as a weak immunopotentiating action as evaluated by carbon clearance test in mice. Powdered antler, with repeated treatments, showed a moderate antifatigue effect against immobilized stress and showed significant increases in both adrenal weight and its ascorbic acid content in rats, suggesting that the mode of antifatigue effect of antler is related to adrenal and its components.

CJ-50002 is an oral vaccine against V.vulnificus infection composed of whole cell lysate of V. vulnificus. The general pharmacological properties of CJ-50002 were evaluated in various animals and in vitro system. CJ-50002 at oral doses of 0.2, 2 and 20 mg/kg had no effect on general behavior in mice, chromo- and electro-convulsions in mice, writhing syndrome induced by acetic acid in mice, body temperature in rats, charcoal meal propulsion in mice and urine and electrolytes excretion in rats. However, oral administration of CJ-50002 at dose of 20 mg/kg prolonged the hexobarbital-inuced sleeping inducing time in mice. In anesthetized dogs, CJ-50002 showed no effect on blood pressure, heart rate and ECG but decreased the respiratory rate and femoral blood flow at dose of 20 mg/kg. p.o. CJ-50002 had no effect on the contractile response of the isolated guinea pig ileum to various spasmogen at concentrations of 0.2, 2 and 20 $\mu\textrm{g}$/ml, respectively. Since these pharmacological effects of CJ-500o2 were observed at dose much greater than those in clinical use (approximately 0.16 mg/kg, p.o.), it is likely that this vaccine may be relatively free of undesirable effects in clinical practice.
