Abstract:Autoimmune hepatitis (AIH) is a chronic auto-immune inflammation against liver tissue. Here, using T cell-deficient mice, acute AIH mice model and a novel AIH mice model induced by dendritic cells loaded with murine hepatocellular carcinoma cells (DC/Hepa1–6) vaccination, we reveal that Kinsenoside (KD), a major component of Anoectochilus roxburghii, has an powerful therapeutic effect on AIH by limiting the metabolism of immune cells such as DCs and CD8+ T cells, which results in the immunosuppression against … Show more
