Inulooligosaccharides in Atractylodis lanceae rhizoma and Atractylodis rhizoma of hochuekkito formula are essential for regulation of the pulmonary immune system of immuno ‐compromised mice

ConclusionsAll the hochuekkito formulas stimulate the mucosal immune system in upper respiratory tracts whereas the formula with Atractylodis lanceae rhizoma up ‐regulates the pulmonary immune system, and inulooligosaccharides from Atractylodis lanceae rhizoma and Atractylodis rhizoma play a crucial role in regulating the pulmonary immune system with the hochuekkito formula.
