近年来

国内外学者提出了白细胞介素2-干扰素-自然杀伤细胞(IL_2-IFN-NKC)免疫调节网这一新理论。IL_2对TH和T_c有生长维持作用

能显著增加干扰素的生成

增The influence of acupuncture on IL_2-IFN-NKC regulatory network was investigated

experiments were performed on kidney-deficiency mice received the treatments of acupncture of "Zusanli" point. The results showed that the interleukin: (IL:)

natural killer cell (NKC) activity and interferon (IFN) from the kideny-deficiency mice were lower than that from the normal mice. Acupuncture increased the levels of all the IL_2 and NKC activity

acupuncture promoted Newcastle disease virus (NDV) inducing the IFN of kidney-deficieny mice

but also induced the IFN directly. The results suggests that acupuncture could make positive adjustment to IL_2-IFN-NKC regulatory network. It provided new theoretical basis for the principles of acupuncture theory on IL_2-IFN-NKC regulatory network put forward recent years.
