UNLABELLED BACKGROUND Immunostimulatory therapy is now being recognized as an alternative to conventional chemotherapy for a variety of disease conditions, involving the impaired immune response of the host. In the present study, the immunostimulatory effect of the butanolic extract obtained from S. mialhesi aerial parts, was evaluated in vivo. METHODS The immunostimulant potential of the ...

β-glucans belong to a group of biologically active natural compounds called biological response modifiers. These substances represent highly conserved structural components of cell walls in fungi, yeast, grain and seaweed. Despite almost 160 years of intensive research, the exact mechanisms of their action remain unsolved. The significant role of glucans in cancer treatment, infection immunity,...

The medicinal plants are of great use in pharmaceutical, cosmetic, agricultural and food industry. The efficacy of some herbal products is beyond doubt, the most recent examples being Silybum marianum (Linn.) Gaertn (Silymarin), Artemisia annua Linn. (Artemesinin) and Taxus baccata Linn.(taxol). Randomized, controlled trials have proved the efficacy of some established remedies, for instance Zi...

The present study was undertaken to isolate oil from Mangifera indica bark, Identification of various phytoconstituents and screening of immunostimulant activity in experimental animals. Methods: Immunostimulant activity was evaluated in rats as well as in mice by determining neutrophil adhesion to nylon threads and phagocytic index. Levamisole at a dose of 50 mg/kg, b.w was used as standard dr...

The present experiment was conducted to study the effect of ethanolic extract of Egyptian propolis given alone or in combination with inactivated Pasteurella multocida vaccine on rabbits challenged with a virulent strain of Pasteurella multocida. Fifty-six New-Zealand rabbits, 6-8 weeks old and non-vaccinated against pasteurellosis, were randomly divided into eight equal groups. The first group...

A therapeutic technology that combines the phototoxic and immune-stimulating ability of photodynamic therapy (PDT) with the widespread effectiveness of the immune system can be very promising to treat metastatic breast cancer. We speculated that the knowledge of molecular mechanisms of existing multi-component therapies could provide clues to aid the discovery of new combinations of an immunost...
