Description

The effect of PSG injection before X-irradiation on immunological functions was studied. The results showed that the counts of nucleated cell of the spleen, the ConA-induced proliferative reaction of splenocytes and the IL-2 production by splenocytes in irradiated mice in PSG group were higher than those in irradiated mice in control group at a certain dose range of X-rays. This effect still existed in the 3 rd day after irradiation with 2.0 Gy X-rays. It was also showed that NK cell activity in PSG group was higher than that in control group. It might be related to the effect of antitumor of PSG
