Abstract
The purpose of the study was to evaluate the immunomodulatory effect of a complex plant remedy in experimental immunosuppression caused by azathioprine.
Material and methods. The object of the study is a dry extract of the following composition: Serratula centauroides (L.), Bergenia crassifolia (L.) Fritsch., Rosa davurica Pall., Inula helenium L., Echinacea purpurea (L.) Moench.). Experiments were carried out on F1 (СВАхС57Вl/6) mice. Immune deficiency was simulated by intragastric administration of azathioprine in the dose 50 mg/kg. The first and second experimental groups administered the dry polyextract (100 mg/kg) and a comparative drug «Echinacea» (200 mg/kg) respectively intragastrically once a day for 14 days against the background of azathioprine immune suppression. The intact group administered the purified water according to the analogous scheme. The effect of the tested remedy on the cellular immunity was evaluated in the reaction of the delayed-type hypersensitivity (DTH), the humoral immunity was estimated by the number of antibody-forming cells (AFC), the functional activity of macrophages was assessed in the phagocytosis reaction of peritoneal macrophages against colloidal ink particles.
Results. The complex plant extract increased the DTH-index by 1.4 times and the value of absolute and relative numbers of AFC by 1.4 and 1.6 times, phagocytic index by 1.8 times, as compared with the control group; it was comparable to the action of «Echinacea».
Conclusion. The complex plant extract has an immunomodulatory effect on cellular and humoral immunity as well as the functional activity of macrophages in azathioprine immunosuppression.
