Abstract

Objectives The purpose of this study was to examine the anti allergic reaction with Cheonmaec-tang. Methods We examined Cell Viability, ${\beta}$-hexosaminidase, TNF-${\alpha}$, IL-4 secretion from RBL-2H3 cell after pretreatment with 2 ㎎/ml, 4 ㎎/ml of Cheonmaec-tang. Results We observed that Cheonmaec-tang is reduced to ${\beta}$-hexosaminidase, TNF-${\alpha}$, IL-4 secretion in RBL-2H3 cell. Conclusions These results indicate that Cheonmaec-tang has anti-histamic effect and controls TNF-${\alpha}$, IL-4 secretion on allergic reaction.
