Experimental Study on Immunomodulation of White Wax Scale(Ericerus pela Chavannes)

This paper dealed with the immunnodulation tests of white wax scale in specific and unspecific immunity.The result showed that the IgM in high dose group was clearly higher than that of the control in serolysin test.Lymphocyte transformation and propagation in mice were notable in high dose group.The results of carbon clearance test in mice and the weight of immune organ test(unspecific immune tests)were negative.The research results showed that white wax scale could increase the specific humoral and cell immunity ability. Therefore white wax scale has immunnodulation function which could be developed and utilized as health food resource.
