[The effect of vitamin A and Astragalus on the splenic T lymphocyte-CFU of burned mice].

In present study the effects of vitamin A and Astargalus on the splenic TL-CFU of mice were studied by means of T-lymphocytes colony formation in semi-solid culture in vitro and incorporation of 3H-TdR. Marked reduction of the responsive reaction of TL-CFU and T-lymphocyte transformation were found. The TL-CFU of the experimentally burned mice untreated with vitamin A (i.e. group 1) were significantly inhibited (p less than 0.005) in comparison with the unburned control group (i.e. group 4). And the TL-CFU of the experimentally burned mice treated with vitamin A (i.e. group 3) increased significantly (p less than 0.005) in comparison with group 1. Incorporation of 3H-TbR showed that vitamin A might accelerate the proliferation of the TL-CFU of the burned mice. It means that vitamin A might be regarded as an effective agent for the reversal of the inhibition of cell-mediated immunity in post-burned state, whether Ahstragalus plays a role in regulating immune inhibition needs further investigation.
