Shaikh M. S, Nimbalkar V. V.

Abstract: Immunomodulatory iActivity iof iSpirulina iwas ievaluated iby iHemaaglutinating iantibody ititer, iDelay iType iHypersensitivity iand iCarbon iclearance itest. iSwiss ialbino imice iuse ifor ithe istudy ifor i iHemaaglutinating iantibody ititer, iDelay iType iHypersensitivity imodel ieach imodel icontain i8 igroups iof itreatment iof idrug. iwhile icarbon iclearance imodel icontain i5 igroups iof ianimals iof itreatment iof idrug. iAll igroups igiven ispirulina iorally. In iHemaaglutinating iantibody ititer imodel iSpirulina isignificantly iexhibited imore iantibody ititer iwhen icompared iwith icontrol. In iDelay iType iHypersensitivity iSpirulina isignificantly idecreased i % iincrease iin ipaw iedema iwhen icompare iwith icontrol. In iCarbon iclearance itest iSpirulina iexhibit isignificantly iincrease iin iphagocytic iindex iwhen icompare iwith icontrol. Thus, iPresent istudy ireveals ithat iSpirulina iholds ipromise ias ian iimmunomodulatory iagent.
