Effect of Immue-21 on Murine Peritoneal Macrophages and Splenic Lymphocytes
نویسندگان
چکیده
Effect of Immue-21 (an herbal immunomodulator) was studied on different immunopharmacological models. Immue-21 significantly enhanced the mobilization and functional capacity of peritoneal macrophages of experimental animals. An elevated blastofenic response of splenic lymphocytes was observed in Immue-21 treated mice. The potential to modulate the immunity in general by Immue-21 assumes considerable therapeutic and/or prophylactic significance.

Effect of Shark Liver Oil on Peritoneal Murine Macrophages in Responses to Killed-Candida albicans
Objective(s) Shark Liver Oil (SLO) is an immunomodulator. Macrophages play a key role in host defense against pathogens like fungi. Candida albicans have mechanisms to escape immune system. We determined the effect of killed-Candida on the in vitro viability of macrophages and the effect of SLO on augmentation of this potency. Materials and Methods Peritoneal macrophages were separated and c...
متن کاملImmunomodulatory effects of esculetin (6,7-dihydroxycoumarin) on murine lymphocytes and peritoneal macrophages.
Coumarins belong to a diverse group of naturally occurring non-nutrient phytochemicals known as benzo-alpha-pyrones. In this study, esculetin, a 6,7-dihydroxy derivative of coumarin with pleiotropic biological activities, was found to have no significant cytotoxic effect on normal murine macrophages, but it could increase the in vivo migration of the thioglycollate-elicited macrophages in a dos...
متن کاملSynergistic Effect of LPS, IFN- and Iron on Apoptosis of Balb/c Mice Macrophages Following Nitric Oxide Production
Objective(s) Previous studies have demonstrated that the nitric oxide (NO) dependent death of murine peritoneal macrophages activated in vitro with IFN-g and LPS is mediated through apoptosis. In the present study, we investigated the synergistic effect of LPS, IFN-g and iron on NO production and apoptosis. Materials and Methods After determination of iron cytotoxicity, the peritoneal macrop...
متن کاملEffect of culture supernatants of mouse splenic lymphocytes on the growth of M. lepraemurium in mouse peritoneal macrophages.
Splenic lymphocytes were collected from BCG-vaccinated ddY mice and cultured with or without the antigen. Thus obtained supernatants were tested by tissue culture techniques. Normal mouse peritoneal macrophages were infected with M. lepraemurium in vitro and the effects of MycolF (mycobacterial growth inhibiting factor) in these supernatants on the growth of the bacilli were examined. The multi...
متن کاملSpontaneous interaction in vitro between lymphocytes and syngeneic peritoneal macrophages of mice.
Ficoll-purified lymphocytes (peritoneal, splenic, or thymic) and macrophages (peritoneal) from Toxoplasma-immune and normal female NMRI mice were used. Suspensions of washed cells were made in medium 199 containing 20% heat-inactivated normal calf serum. Sixty minutes after the adherence of 10(5) macrophages to cover slips in Leighton tubes, lymphocytes were added in various concentrations. The...
