Abstract: In order to investigate the effects of rape bee pollen and its different extracts on immune function in mice, delayed- type hypersensitivity (DTH) and macrophage phagocytic function were studied. The results showed that compared with the model group, phagocytosis index (a) increases significantly in group rape bee pollen and extract A, C and D (p<0.05, p<0.01), and the carbon clearance index (K) also increases significantly in group extract A (p<0.05). The immediate hypersensitivity is inhibited by rape bee pollen and its different extracts. These indicated that rape bee pollen and its different extracts have effects of regulating immune function.

Key words:  , rape bee pollen; extracts of rape bee pollen; immune function;
