Ishizuchi dark tea suppresses IgE-mediated degranulation of RBL-2H3 cells and nasal rubbing behavior of pollinosis in mice
Ishizuchi dark tea is a microorganism-fermented tea produced in Ehime, Japan. We herein describe the anti-allergic effect of Ishizuchi dark tea. The water extract from Ishizuchi dark tea suppressed degranulation of RBL-2H3 cells in a dose-dependent manner with no apparent cytotoxicity. Fractionation...
