title: Comparative studies of the immunomodulatory activity of Tinospora cordifolia and Tinospora sinensis.
abstract: The water and ethanol extracts of stems of Tinospora cordifolia and T. sinensis inhibit immunosuppression produced by cyclophosphamide. Ethanol extracts of stems of both the plants inhibit cyclophosphamide-induced anemia. The water extract of T. sinensis is found to be more potent than the other extracts.
