摘要
The study was to investigate the effect of moxibustion on the serum IL-2, IL-12 levels and NK cell and ascitic tumor cell activities in H-22 mice with tumor and its mechanisms. The method used in the study was that the IL-2 and IL-12 levels were determined by the double antibody method with ELISA, and the NK cell activities by the MTT measure. The results showed that moxibustion elevated the serum IL-2 and IL-12 levels and the NK cell activities of the mice with tumor, and the elevations were of significance as compared with the controls (P<0.05). It is concluded that moxibustion can inhibit the growth of tumor, which is related to the increase of the serum IL-2 and IL-12 levels and the strengthening of NK cell activities.
