摘要
The methanol extract of rhizomes of Curculigo orchioides Gaertn. (Amaryllidaceae) holds potential as a protective agent against cytotoxic drugs. The extract when studied on Immoral and cell mediated immunity in normal, as well as cyclophosphamide-induced immunosuppressed mice produced an increase in Immoral antibody (HA) titre, delayed type hypersensitivity (DTH) and levels of WBC in a dose dependent manner.
