  • Effect on expression of ICAM-1 by HFB. Cells (5×106) were incubated with IL1α (10 ng/ml) in the presence or absence of herbal medicines for 4–24 hours. Data (fluorescence intensity) were presented as mean (SD) of duplicate assay in triplicate experiments. *p<0.05, **p<0.01, ***p<0.005 compared with HFB+IL1 by Mann-Whitney U test.
