Bioactivity of Nocardia rubra Cell
红色诺卡氏菌的生物活性

To investigate the bioactivity of Nocardia rubra Cell (NC), the mice were used to assay the toxicity, the effects on immune organs, phagocytes of peritoneal macrophage and the antitumor activity by perfusion of NC to the stomach of mice. Results indicated that NC could obviously stimulate in vitro the phagocytosis of peritoneal macrophage from mice, and remarkably inhibit the growth of S180 in mice, and its LD50 was more than 10 g/kg. In conclusion, NC had low toxicity, it could significantly enhance the organism immunologic function and had obvious antitumor effect and the anti-infection effect against a pathogenic microorganism.
