Dendritic cell (DC) plays important roles not only in taking antigen but also in activating T cell. It is believed that DC is a pivotal Antigen Presenting Cell (APC) in the immune system. In this dissertation, we compared the effects of Ginsenoside Rg1 and its metabolite, Ginsenoside Rh1, on dendritic cell, then elucidated the immuno-regulating mechanism of Ginsenoside Rg1.
