Effects of germanium biotite (GB) on lymphocyte proliferation in mice. Lymphocytes were with or without mitogens (ConA or LPS), and lymphocyte proliferation was measured as OD540 using an MTT assay. Lymphocyte proliferation in response to ConA was significantly enhanced in the GB-fed mice compared to the control group (*p < 0.05). However, proliferation of the unstimulated or LPS-treated lymphocytes did not differ among the groups. Data are presented the mean ± SD (n = 8).
