Leucocyte Chemotaxis with Korean Ginseng

• Jung KS

Abstract

The purpose of this experiment is to examine if purified Korean red ginseng extracts could have an effect on leukocyte migration and to select the best chemotactic factor for leukocyte migration. When chemotactic factor such as TC-199 medium, milk and filtrate of E.coli culture for 48hrs at 37'C extracts was used and adquet incubation periods was 60 minutes at 37'C. The various purified Korean red ginseng extract was stimulated for the leukocytes migration in modified Boyden chamber, however fraction number 2 and 4 were shown most active migration through the filter. This mean was effect an enhancement of immunological activity to leukocyte migration in vivo.
