Abstract

To investigate the immunomodulatory activity of flavonoid fractions of Terminalia catappa in Swiss albino mice. The flavonoid fraction of T.catappa was administrated intraperitonealy at a dose of ED50    to healthy albino mice. Assessment of immunomodulatory activity was carried out by assessment of neutrophil adhesion and phagocytic index. Intraperitonealy administered Tcff showed a significant increase in neutrophil adhesion and phagocytic index.This study demonstrates that the Tcff shows immunomodulatory effect.
