چکیده

Methods Female C3H/HeJ mice were gavaged at days 0, 1, 2, 7, and 21 with fenugreek in doses ranging from 0.1 mg to 10 mg. Cholera toxin (CT) was used as an adjuvant (10 μg/mouse). The mice were euthanized on day 28, and sera were analysed for fenugreek-specific IgE using the heterologous passive cutaneous anaphylaxis assay. Based on this dose-response experiment, twenty four mice were gavaged with the optimal dose of fenugreek (4.2 mg) and CT at days 0, 1, 2, 7, 21 and 28. Eight mice were gavaged with CT only and 8 mice were not treated. At day 35 all mice received a large dose of fenugreek (25.0 mg) and clinical reactions were observed.
