Objective Crude preparations of Fun-boi (Stephania tetrandra), a traditional antirheumatic
herb, have been reported to have immunomodulatory effects on both cell-mediated and
humoral immunity in vitro, but little is known about the mode of action in vivo. The objective
of this study was therefore to evaluate the efficacy of Fun-boi against arthritis and its effect on
the immune system.
