Title : EFFECT OF A HERBAL PROTEIN, CI-I, ISOLATED FROM CAJANUS INDICUS ON IMMUNE RESPONSE OF CONTROL AND STRESSED MICE
Abstract : The effect of an herbal protein, Cl-1, purified from the leaves of Cajanus indicus was evaluated as a probable immunomodulator on immune response in control and stressed mice. In mice, sensitized with sheep red blood cells(SRBC), Cl-1 enhanced lgG level by 28 percent over control(P less than 0.05). Primary and secondary antibody response to SRBC and bovine serum albumin (BSA) were significantly increased in CI-I treated group. Furthermore Cl-I facilitated the delayed type of hypersensitivity (DTH) response to SRBC in sensitized mice and also enhanced leucocytes and macrophage migration inhibition response in immunized mice. A fewer mice displayed symptoms of anaphylactic shock after Cl-I administration at a dose of 6.0mg/kg body wt. in BSA sensitized mice. The immediate effect of Cl-1 on anaphylactic shock was not seen when 150microg of Cl-1 was injected in combination with BSA in the shocking injection. The results suggested that CI-I influences both humoral and cell-mediated immune response.
