In order to investigate the effect of Solidago virga-aurea L. var. leiocarpa (Benth) A. Gray(SV) on antitumor and immune response, the author performed this experimental study.
Mean survival days(MSD) and Tumor weight(TW) in vivo, Natural killer cell activity(NKCA) in vitro for effect of antitumor, Delayed type hypersensitivity(DTH). Hemoagglutinin titer(HA) and Hemolysine (HL) for immune response were measured in ICR mice.
The results were as follows:
1. MSD was prolonged in SV group as compared with control group with effectiveness.
2. TW was depressed in SV group as compared with control group.
3. NKCA was increased in SV group as compared with control group.
4. DTH was increased in SV group as compared with control group with statistical significance.
5. HA titer was increased in SV group as compared with control group with statistical significance.
6. HL titer was increased in SV group as compared with control group with statistical significance.
The inferance from the above results is that Solidago virga aurea L. var. leiocarpa (Benth) A. Gray show to have antitumor substance and enhance immune response.
