Effect of herbal preparation on immune response of immunosuppressed mice.
The present study was undertaken to study the effect of a herbal formulation (Septilin) as immunomodulator, on immune response in mice. The study of this formulation in respect to humoral and cell mediated immune response has suggested that, oral administration of Septilin (500 mg/kg) alone or in combination with an immuno-suppressive drug (prednisolone 4 mg/kg), enhances both primary and secondary immune response, in mice immunized with sleep red blood cells (SRBC).
