Immunomodulatory and antitumor activity of Piper longum Linn. and piperine.
E.S Sunila,G Kuttan +1 more
TL;DR: Administration of alcoholic extract of Piper longum as well as piperine could inhibit the solid tumor development in mice induced with DLA cells and increase the life span of mice bearing Ehrlich ascites carcinoma tumor to 37.3 and 58.8%, respectively.

Growth and immune response of juvenile greasy groupers (Epinephelus tauvina) fed with herbal antibacterial active principle supplemented diets against Vibrio harveyi infections
TL;DR: Significant improvements in immune parameters such as phagocytic activity, serum bactericidal activity, Albumin–globulin (A/G) ratio and leukocrit were observed with the groups fed on OS and WS supplemented diets at the concentrations of 100 and 200 mg/kg diet compared to the control group.

Botanical immunodrugs: scope and opportunities
Bhushan Patwardhan,Manish Gautam +1 more
TL;DR: The importance of traditional medicine in natural product drug discovery related to immunodrugs is reviewed andBotanicals are chemically complex and diverse and could therefore provide appropriate combinations of synergistic moieties useful in drug discovery.

TL;DR: The studies suggested that AGB supports predominantly Th1 immunity with increase in macrophage functions and might therefore, find useful applications against the intracellular pathogens and in the management of immune suppressed diseases.
Journal ArticleDOI
A review of immunomodulators in the Indian traditional health care system
TL;DR: A number of plant-based principles have been isolated with potential immunomodulatory activity that can explain and justify their use in traditional medicine in the past and can form the basis for further research in the future as well.

Plaque Formation in Agar by Single Antibody-Producing Cells
Niels K. Jerne,Albert A. Nordin +1 more
TL;DR: Distinct plaques, each of which is due to the release of hemolysin by a single antibody-forming cell, are revealed by complement after incubation, in an agar layer, of a mixture of Sheep red cells and lymphoid cells from a rabbit immunized with sheep red cells.
Journal ArticleDOI
Studies on the immunomodulatory effects of Ashwagandha.
TL;DR: Treatment with Ashwagandha was accompanied by significant increases in hemolytic antibody responses towards human erythrocytes, which prevented myelosuppression in mice treated with all three immunosuppressive drugs tested.
Journal ArticleDOI
Influence of dose and route of antigen injection on the immunological induction of T cells.
TL;DR: DTH fails to reappear in respose to secondary stimulation except in splenectomized mice in whom the development of DTH is not suppressed, even by massive doses of SRBC, and blocking of induction and expression may depend, therefore, on different mechanisms.

Modulatory Potency of the β-Galactoside-specific Lectin from Mistletoe Extract (Iscador) on the Host Defense System in Vivo in Rabbits and Patients
TL;DR: The results encourage detailed elucidation of lectin action on various parts of the tumor defense system "in vitro" with the long range goal of achieving progress in the treatment of cancer through immunological strategies, exploring selective mediatory lectin-carbohydrate interactions.
