The invention relates to a traditional Chinese medicine immunopotentiator, prepared from mulberry leaves polysaccharide and eucommia polysaccharide, which belongs to technical field of immune adjuvant of livestock and poultry,
Animals' viral infectious diseases such as highly pathogenic avian influenza, newcastle disease and infectious bursal disease, harm the development of livestock husbandry seriously, cause great economic loss and has received extensive attention of the world. Immunization is the best measure to prevent and control the outbreak of these diseases. However, inoculation of vaccine solely usually produces relative weak immunity. Immune adjuvant can enhance immune effects of the vaccine, and prolong protection time. Many immune adjuvants, such as freund's adjuvant and lipopolysaccharide, are easy to cause systematic responses (such as nausea, fever, anaphylaxis, eosinophilia, toxicosis, paralysis and autoimmune disease) and local inflammatory responses (such as inflammation, pain, swelling, necrosis, ulceration and abscessus), so the extensive application is limited, Therefore, the development of efficient and safe new immune adjuvant has become the hotspot of preventing and controlling animal-borne disease. It is proved many traditional Chinese medicines have immunological enhancement, efficient and safe. However, most of them have complicated components and inconvenient administration. With the development of intensive livestock farming, drinking and administration of animal population has more obvious advantages. The invention carries out component medicine screening, prescription screening, and dose screening, combined some aspects such as convenient for application, to perform comprehensive comparison, and the immunopotentiator prepared from mulberry leaves polysaccharide and eucommia polysaccharide is developed ultimately.
The invention aims to the problem of urgent need of efficient and safe immunopotentiator or vaccine adjuvant in current animal epidemic disease prevention and control technology, and provides a new traditional Chinese medicine immunopotentiator prepared from mulberry leaves polysaccharide and eucommia polysaccharide.
A new traditional Chinese medicine immunopotentiator of the invention is characterized in that each 1000 ml of medicinal liquid is prepared from 150 g of mulberry leaves and 145 g of eucommia bark. The content of the mulberry leaves polysaccharide in medicinal liquid is not lower than 0.2%, and the content of the eucommia polysaccharide is not lower than 0.1%.
The processes of producing each 1000 ml of medicinal liquid are as follows: decocting mulberry leaves with water for 2 times, ethanol precipitation, drying ethanol sediments, dissolving with 640 mL of water, and obtaining mulberry leaves polysaccharide solution; degreasing eucommia, ethanol precipitation, drying ethanol sediments, dissolving with water, and obtaining eucommia polysaccharide solution, mixing two solutions evenly, subpackaging and obtaining the medicinal liquid.
The extraction process of the mulberry leaves polysaccharide is adding 30 time of water to decoct the mulberry leaves for 2 times, 1.5 hour for the first time and 1 hour for the second time. The extraction process of the eucommia polysaccharide is adding 4 time of absolute ethyl alcohol to perform reflux degreasing to the eucommia bark for 2 times and decocting with water for 2 times, 1.5 hour for the first time and 1 hour for the second time.
Beneficial effects: the invention is choosing traditional Chinese medicine polysaccharides with immunological enhancement, comparing and selecting mulberry leaves polysaccharide and eucommia polysaccharide which have better effect, forming multiple compounds by different ratio, proving the effect of compounds is better than that of single medicine by serial tests, and selecting the ratio with best effect (Table 1).
The ordinary skill in the art can determine the extraction condition of the mulberry leaves polysaccharide and eucommia polysaccharide by orthogonal test, and can determine the production process of immunopotentiator prepared from mulberry leaves polysaccharide and eucommia polysaccharide by optimizing solubility condition of polysaccharides.
