This study was conducted to test the hypothesis that dietary supplementation with an herbal extract of Acanthopanax senticosus (AS) enhances the immune response in weaned piglets. Sixty piglets weaned at 21 days of age were randomly assigned to 3 treatment groups representing the addition of 0 or 1 g/kg of the AS extract or 0.2 g/kg of colistin (an antibiotic) to maize- and soybean meal-based diets (n = 20 per group). On days 7, 14 and 28 after initiation of the addition, total and differential counts of leucocytes, proliferating activity of peripheral lymphocytes, serum levels of immunoglobulins (Ig) and cytokines and the spleen index were determined. The AS extract decreased (p<0.05) the number of neutrophils on days 7 and 28 in comparison with the control group and reduced (p<0.05) serum interleukin-$1{\beta}$ level on day 28 compared with the other 2 groups. Dietary supplementation with the AS extract increased (p<0.05) the lymphocyte/leukocyte ratio on day 28 compared with the control group and increased the proliferating activity of lymphocytes on days 14 and 28 compared with the other 2 groups. The AS extract increased (p<0.05) the serum content of IgG on day 7 and of IgG and IgM on day 28 compared with the other 2 groups, as well as increasing the serum content of tumor necrosis factor on day 7 and spleen index on days 7 and 28 compared with the control group. Collectively, these findings suggest that the AS extract as a dietary additive enhances the cellular and humoral immune responses of weaned piglets by modulating the production of immunocytes, cytokines and antibodies.

The aim of this study is to investigate the effect of Zizyphus jujuba var. spinosa Composite oil(ZjJ-C_oil) and Aralia cordata var. continentalis Composite oil(ARC-C_oil) to NC/Nga mice induced in Atopic dermatitis-like skin lesions by DNCB. NC/Nga mice which have been induced to Atopic dermatitis-like skin lesions by DNCB are divided into 4 groups, the first is the mice which have been spread with izyphus jujuba var. spinosa Composite oil(ZjJ-C_oil), the second is the mice which have been spread with Aralia cordata var. continentalis Composite oil(ARC-C_oil), the third is which have been spread with dexamethasone (Dexa.) 0.5% on their Atopic lesion, the last is the control group. Then We analyzed skin clinical score, blood sample of each group of measure state of the dorsal skin, the number of immunocytes, and resect the skin lesion to anlayze the state of cells. There are meaningful results of measuring the number of IgE, IL-4, IL-13, $IFN-{\gamma}$, IL-5, the total cells in ALN, dorsal skin, CD4+ Th, CD11b+/Gr-1+ in PBMCs, CD4+ Th, B220+/CD23+ in ALN, $CD4^+$, $CD8^+$ Th in dorsal skin, the level of COX-2, $TNF-{\alpha}$, $TGF-{\beta}1$, IL-4, IL-13 mRNA, the state of the skin lesion and cells in the group with ZjJ-C_oil, ARC-C_oil cream in comprarison with the control group.

뱀장어의 복강내에 Edwardsiella tarda의 FKC, HKC 및 crude LPS를 주사한 후 경시적으로 순환혈액 중 면역세포 수의 변화와 식작용, 항체가를 비교하여 항원 종류별 뱀장어의 면역 반응을 검토하였다. 백신 투여 뱀장어의 순환혈액 중 림프구 수는 백신 투여 후 6시간까지 감소하였으나 이후 증가하기 시작하여 24시간 후에는 정상치로 회복되었다. 이후 모든 면역 실험구에서는 실험기간 동안 대조구에 비하여 림프구 수가 증가된 상태로 지속되는 경향을 보였다. 한편, 호중구의 출현수를 대조구와 비교하면 백신 투여 후 12시간 이내에 최고치를 나타낸 후 서서히 정상 수준으로 회복되는 경향을 나타내었다. 모든 백신 투여 실험구의 혈청중 항체가는 백신 투여 3주째에 128에 이르러 높은 항체가가 지속되었으나, HKC 면역구의 경우에는 6주후 4로 떨어졌다. 호중구의 식작용에 있어서는 LPS 면역구의 항원 주사 6시간 후와 1주후의 반응 6시간째의 식균지수가 각각 28.3과 3.9로 가장 높았다. 항원 주사 후 12시간째의 식균지수가 반응 6시간째 FKC 면역구 18.8, HKC 면역구 10.7, LPS 면역구 28.3 및 대조구 1.2로서, 1 주 후 각 면역구의 식균지수보다 높게 나타났다. 신선 항혈청의 항균작용은 FKC와 LPS 투여구에서만 나타나고, HKC 투여구에서는 세균 수의 감소를 볼 수 없었다. 그리고, 공격시험에서는 HKC, FKC 및 LPS 면역구의 RPS가 각각 10%, 20% 및 30% 이었으므로, 본 세균은 항원의 처리 방법에 따라 숙주의 방어력 증강에 미치는 효과가 다른 것을 알 수 있었다.
