Artemisia capillaris suppresses concanavalin A- and LPS-induced proliferation of primary mouse splenocytes. Primary splenocytes from Balb/c mice were stimulated with (A), (B). concanavalin A (ConA; 5 μg/mL) or (C), (D). lipopolysaccharide (LPS; 10 μg/mL) in the presence or absence of a (A), (C). water extract (WAC) or (B), (D). an ethanol extract (EAC) of A. capillaris for 24 hr. Cellular proliferation was measured by methylthiazol tetrazolium (MTT) assay. Data are mean ± SEM (n = 3). ^#Significantly different from vehicle alone, p < 0.05. *Significantly different from ConA or LPS alone, p < 0.05. Veh, vehicle.
