The effects of perilla oil diet on the immune response in mice have been studied. ICR male mice were divided into 4 groups and were fed on the experimental diet for 4 weeks. Mice were sensitized and challenged with sheep red blood cell (S-RBC). Immune response were evaluated by antibody production, Arthus reaction, delayed type hypersensitivity (DTH), Rosette forming cell (RFC) and macrophage activity. The weight of body, liver, thymus and spleen were measured. The body weight was increased but thymus weight was not altered by them. The perilla oil diet decreased the weight of liver and spleen in mice. It reduced antibody production, Arthus reaction, DTH and RFC, macrophage activity. These results showed that the high perilla oil diet decresed more humoral and celluar immune response than the low perilla oil diet. It decreased the phagocytic activity on the reticuloendothelial system in mice.

연두금파리 종령유충의 복강내에 이물질로서 protein-A gold 용액(20 nm 크기) colloidal gold 용액(15 nm 크기), 그리고 이들의 혼합액을 주입하여 혈구가 이들을 처리하는 양상을 전자현미경을 이용하여 관찰하였다. Gold 입자에 대한 혈구의 세포성 면역작용 방식은 식세포작용이었고 이러한 식세포 작용은 연두금파리에서 확인한 prohemocyte, plasmatocyte. granulocyte type I, II, III, 그리고 oneocvtoid 등의 6가지 혈구 중 type 11 granulocyte에 의해서 수행되었다. Gold 입자는 주로 판상의 원형질 돌기를 통하여 혈구 속으로 들어갔으며 coated-pit로 보이는 구조에 의해서도 받아들이는 것으로 나타났다. 식세포 작용은 gold 용액 주입후 10분 이내에 빠른 속도로 일어났으며 시간이 경과함에 따라 gold 입자를 함유한 phagosome은 리소소음과 융합하여 phagolysosome을 형성하면서 세포질내에 축적되어 있었다. Gold 용액을 주입한 후 type II granulocyte에서는 세포질 돌기와 전자 밀도가 높은 과립, 그리고 세포 소기관이 소실되는 등의 변화가 일어났다. protein A-gold 및 colloidal gold 용액에 대한 기본적인 식세포 과정은 별다른 차이점이 없었으나 gold 입자 섭취 초기 과정과 양, 그리고 multivesicular body의 모습등에서는 차이점을 보여 주었다.

Objective : The purpose of this study is to investigated that effect of Bupleuri Radix Herbal-acupuncture solution (BRHS) on the celluar immune response in mice with adjuvant induced arthritis, performed several experimental items : those are paw edema, IL-1b, IL-6, IL-8, PNF-a and $PGE_2$. Methods : All the male Sprague Daeley mice used in this study were bred and maintained in our pathogen-free mouse colony and were 8 weeks of age at the start of the experiment. The experimental model of arthritis was induced by injection of $50{\mu}g/{\mu}{\ell}$ adjuvant(mineral oil mixed Mycobacterium butyricum). Bupleuri Radix Herbal-acupuncture solution (BRHS) was injected into $ST_{36}$(足三理) of mice daily for 21 days. Immunohistological analysis was carried out to assess paw edema, IL-$1{\beta}$, IL-6, IL-8, PNF-${\alpha}$ and $PGE_2$expression in synovial membrance and sera Bupleuri Radix Herbal-acupuncture solution(BRHS) injected. Results : At day 21 post arthritis onset, immunohistological studies using monoclonal antibodies showed that Bupleuri Radix Herbal-acupuncture solution (BRHS) group had decreased expression of IL-$1{\beta}$, IL-6, IL-8, PNF-${\alpha}$ and $PGE_2$ at inflamatory cytokines production and edema compared with control group. Conclusion : Bupleuri Radix Herbal-acupuncture solution (BRHS) inhibited infammatory cytokines production and edema in adjuvant induced arthritic mice. Thus, Herbal-acupuncture solution may have prevention.
