Does [ Rich selenium-Banqiao-Codonopsis Pilosula mixture enhance immune function of aging mice ]?
RSBCP mixture could delay the atrophy of thymus and spleen in the aging mice, dramatically elevate serum levels of IgG, IgM, C3, C4, IL-2, IL-6, lower the level of TNF-α, and influence the proportions of T cell subsets. The mixture plays a role in enhancing the immune function of aging mice.
Combined laser microdissection and quantitative RT-PCR, as triple immunofluorescent labeling, underlined the preferential expression of the most soluble VEGF isoform, VEGF(121), and its receptor VEGFR-1, but not VEGFR-2, in epithelial and stromal cells of RCC.
