Abstract: This work aims to investigate the effect of un-deproteinized crude polysaccharides(UCARCP)from cultivated Artemisia rupestris L. on antibody level and T lymphocyte subsets in mice immunized ovalbumin(OVA)antigen. Mice were immunized subcutaneously with OVA formulated with UCARCP,priming one time,boosting one time,and aluminum adjuvant for the positive control group. Indirect ELISA assay was performed to evaluate IgG antibody levels,and CD3+CD4+and CD3+CD8+T lymphocyte subsets in splenocytes were determined by flow cytometry. As results,UCARCP significantly increased the antibody levels of IgG,IgG1 and IgG2a in mice serum(P < 0.05);and in contrast to aluminum adjuvant group,there was no significant difference(P > 0.05). Moreover,UCARCP obviously enhanced the percentages of CD3+CD4+ and CD3+CD8+T cells(P < 0.05),and there was also no significant difference compared with that in aluminum adjuvant group(P >0.05). In conclusion,UCARCP can significantly enhance the humoral and cellular immunity in mice immunized with OVA,and it has the same effects with aluminum adjuvant.
