초록

objective : The purpose of this research is to examine the effects of Scutellaria Radix(SR) extract on immune cells and cytokines in ovalbumin(OVA)-induced asthmatic mice. Methods : In vivo, C57BL/6 mice were sensitized and handicapped by OVA for 9 weeks. In this experiment, one group was not treated, and the other group was treated with SR extract for six weeks(five times per week) and analyzed by ELISA and flow cytometer. Results : In vivo, there were significant decreases in eosinophils, IL-4, IL-13 in BALF (bronchoalveolar lavage fluid) compared with that of control group. However,$IFN{\gamma}$ in the SR group increased significantly compared with that of control group. Additionally, the population of $CD3e^-/CCR3^+,\;CD69^+/CD3e^+,\;IgE^+/B220^+,\;CD11b^+/Gr-1^+$ cells in the SR group 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, and in increasing $IFN{\gamma}$, Which helps prevent such reactions.
