a Representative images of splenic T lymphocyte counts determined by flow cytometry for mice having intragastric administration with physiological saline, whole ingredients extract (WIE), water extract (WAE) or ultrafine powder (UFP) (twice daily, equalled to 1 g herb/kg/day) for 18 days with cyclophosphamide (Cy, 80 mg/kg/day) injected intraperitoneally from days 12 to 14. Summarized graphs for (b) proportion of CD3 + , c proportion of CD4 + , d proportion of CD8 + , and (E) the ratio of CD4 +/CD8 + . Data are expressed as mean ± S.D. of six mice. ^#p < 0.05, and ^###p < 0.001 vs Control; **p < 0.01 and ***p < 0.001 vs Cy; ^Δp < 0.05 and ^ΔΔp < 0.01 vs WIE
