Seven Japanese Herbals Prolonged Cardiac Allograft Survival

In this study we investigated the effect of 17 components of traditional Japanese herbal medicines on alloimmune responses in a murine model of cardiac allograft transplantation. Fully vascularized heterotopic hearts from C57BL/6 donors were transplanted into CBA mice by using microsurgical techniques. Artemisiae Capillaris herba [Inchinko] was given to CBA recipients with a dose of 1 g/kg/day from the day of transplantation until 7 days afterward.
