title: Modulating effect of Gmelina arborea Linn. on immunosuppressed albino rats.
abstract: OBJECTIVE
  In the present study, the immunomodulatory effects of roots of Gmelina arborea Linn. were investigated
  
  
  METHODS
  Methanolic extract of G. arborea Linn. (MEGA) and its ethyl acetate fraction (EAFME) were used for evaluating the pharmacological activity. The modulating effect was evaluated on humoral and cell-mediated immune response using animal models like cyclophosphamide-induced myelosuppression, delayed-type hypersensitivity (DTH) response, and humoral antibody (HA) titre
  
  
  RESULTS
  Both test extracts produced significant increase in HA titre, DTH response, and levels of total white blood cell count
  
  
  CONCLUSIONS
  This drug is found to be a potential immunostimulant.
