Abstract:

Medicinal plants are important sources of different secondary metabolites most of which have immune-stimulatory action. To investigate the immune-stimulatory action of ethanolic leaf extract of Moringa oleifera L. in an experimental animal models (albino rats). The cellular immunity was evaluated using Neutrophil Adhesion Test, Cyclophosphamide-Induced neutropenia, and carbon clearance assay. Whereas, serum immunoglobulin estimation and Indirect haemagglutination assay were also performed. The results showed that the plant extract possessed significant (P<0.05) immune-modulatory activity.
