Abstract

The present study was aimed to investigate Immuno-modulatory activity of Brassica Oleracea L. var. italica Plenk. The assessment of immuno-modulatory activity was carried out by using Neutrophil Adhesion Test (In-Vivo Method) & T-Cell Population (In-Vitro Method). Oral administration of extract of Brassica Oleracea L. var. italica Plenk. Significantly showed Immuno-modulatory activity increases percentage neutrophil adhesion, increases lymphocytes & No. rosette count when result compared with control group. In conclusion, ethanolic & aqueous extract of Brassica Oleracea L. var. italica Plenk. showed presence of flavonoids, phenolic compound & vitamin C. But aqueous extract showed maximum immunomodulatory activity by both In-vivo & In-vitro methods.
