Effects of polysaccharide fractions isolated from L. on the activity of phagocytic cells & humoral immune response in mice with collagen-induced arthritis: A comparison with methotrexate.

Background & Objectives: The extracts from Caltha palustris L. have been shown to be beneficial for treating arthritis and rheumatism. In this study, the immunomodulatory effects of polysaccharide fractions B and C of C.

Influence of polysaccharide fractions isolated from Caltha palustris L. on the cellular immune response in collagen-induced arthritis (CIA) in mice. A comparison with methotrexate.

Ethnopharmacological Relevance: The extracts from Caltha palustris have been used in traditional Canadian and Asian medicine to treat arthritis and rheumatism.

Aims: The aim of the study was to investigate the anti-arthritis and immunomodulatory activity of the polysaccharide fractions B and C of Caltha palustris L. herbal extracts in collagen-induced arthritis (CIA) mice, an animal model of rheumathoid arthritis.

The effects of bestatin on humoral response to sheep erythrocytes in non-treated and cyclophosphamide-immunocompromised mice.

The effects of bestatin on humoral immune response to sheep erythrocytes (SRBC) and restoration of the response impaired by a single cyclophosphamide dose (350 mg/kg) were tested on mice. Bestatin (at doses of 10, 1, and 0.1 mg/kg) was administered intraperitoneally (i.
