In an objective to generate effective carcinoembryonic antigen (CEA) specific anti-tumor immune response in Swiss mice, CEA was presented using macrophages with adjuvant help from neem leaf glycoprotein (NLGP). Such vaccination generates significantly higher antibody (IgG2a) and T cell response than immunization protocol without NLGP. NLGP controls the function of both B cells and macrophages by altering the expressions of various regulatory molecules, like, CD19, CD11b, etc. NLGP also directs CEA vaccination towards Th1 bias, by modulating cytokine secretion. This NLGP-generated anti-CEA immune response would be effective as a vaccine to lyse CEA(+) tumors in vitro and in vivo.

Aim: The aim of the study was to evaluate and compare the cytotoxicity of 25% of neem leaf extract (), 20% of guava leaf extracts (), and 20% of cinnamon extract () irrigants at three intervals of time.
Methodology: Four groups were formed ( = 15), Group 1 (control group) - normal saline solution, Group 2 - 25% of neem extract, Group 3 - 20% of guava extract, and Group 4 - 20% of cinnamon extract. Each group was further divided into three subgroups based on intervals ( = 5).

The current study was designed to investigate the effect of A. indica (Neem) leaf extracts (ethanolic and aqueous) in yeast-induced pyrexia and acetic acid-induced writhing in rat models to evaluate the antipyretic and analgesic biomarkers and its phytochemical screening with computational analysis. For the antipyretic activity model 60 albino rats (160-200g) of either sex were divided into 4 groups and all groups were injected with yeast to induce pyrexia.
