1124733 Preliminary observations on the effect of acupuncture on immune responses in sensitized rabbits and guinea pigs. Am J Chin Med (Gard City N Y). 1975 Apr;3(2):151-63. doi: 10.1142/s0192415x75000189. 1975 Apr A preliminary report is presented on the possible effect of acupuncture on immune responses in rabbits injected with sheep RBC and in guinea pigs with an encephalitoenic antigen preparation. Results from acupuncturing experimental animals at four loci-Ta-Chu, Tsu-San-Li, Ch u-Chih-Shih-strongly suggest that acupuncture has an effect on the immune response. If these observations can be substantiated by more refined methods in subsequent experiments, a new avenue will be opened for acupuncture research."

Evidence Sentence: Resuits from acupuncturing experimental animals at four loci-Ta-Chu, Tsu-San-Li, Ch’ti-Ch’ih and Chih-Shih—strongly suggest that acupuncture has an effect on the immune response.
