Myelophil, a mixture of Astragali Radix and Salviae Radix extract, moderates toxic side effects of fluorouracil in mice

Figure 3 Colony-forming assay and IL-3 gene expression. A: After 7 d 5-FU injection (0.2 g/kg, intraperitoneally) and Myelophil treatment for 5 d, purified bone marrow cells were cultured for 7 d for colony counts of CFU-GM and CFU-E; B: Spleen cells were treated with Myelophil for 18 h, and then IL-3 gene expression was analyzed using real-time-PCR. Data are expressed as mean ± SD (n = 3). ^bP < 0.01 vs control group.
