TLDR
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.About:

Pharmacological and immunomodulatory effects of Aerva lanata in Daltons lymphoma ascites-bearing mice
K.G. Nevin,P. L. Vijayammal +1 more
TL;DR: Results indicate that PPF contains nontoxic immunomodulatory compounds and is found to be hepatoprotective as evidenced from the normal levels of liver marker enzymes compared to the elevated levels of these enzymes in DLA alone inoculated animals.

TL;DR: The results suggest that WSE indirectly modulates immune activity and probably disengages Listeria-induced suppression of these responses by inducing a higher reserve of myeloid progenitors in the bone marrow, proliferation of lymphocytes and increased INF-gamma levels.

Piriformospora indica elicitation of withaferin A biosynthesis and biomass accumulation in cell suspension cultures of Withania somnifera
TL;DR: Quantitative PCR analysis showed an effect of P. indica elicitation on the regulatory genes of MVA, MEP and withanolides biosynthetic pathways, viz. hmgr, fpps, ss, se, cas, dxs and dxr in callus and cell suspension cultures.

Effect of five medicinal plants used in Indian system of medicines on immune function in Wistar rats
TL;DR: The investigation revealed that all the mentioned plants have immunomodulatory activities and T. terrestris showed significant dose dependent increase in the ‘humoral antibody titre and DTH response’ as indicated by increase in footpad thickness in rats.

A comparative pharmacological investigation of Ashwagandha and Ginseng.
TL;DR: The aqueous suspensions of roots of an Indian drug Ashwagandha and the Korean drug Ginseng were tested comparatively for 2 pharmacological activities, namely the anti-stress activity by the 'mice swimming endurance test' and anabolic activity by noting gain in body weights and levator ani muscle in rats.
