Abstract
Aim, The aim of this study to investigate the immunonomodulator effects of miana leaves (Coleus scutellarioides (L) Benth) on prevention of tuberculosis in wistar rats, Method, Samples of white male Wistar rats were divided into 4 groups, the samples were treated with miana leaves extract (EDM) and then infected by intra tracheal M. tuberculosis H37Rv strain and subsequently given a placebo, EDM and GAB (combined Rifampicin and EDM) and healthy control animals were treated with EDM. In this study we measure the level of Immunomodulatory parameter; the number of T-lymphocytes and CD4 T-cells measured by flowcytometry method, the levels of IFN-γ and TNF-α were measured by ELISA and the number of M. tuberculosis colonies derived from the rat lung in LJ media. Result, Results showed the increasing of T-lymphocytes, CD4 T-Cells, the levels of IFN-γ, TNF-α and decreasing in the number of M. tuberculosis colonies after EDM treatment. Conclusion, Miana leaves extract (Coleus scutellarioides, (L) Benth.) increased the number of T-lymphocytes, CD4 T-cell counts, levels of IFN-γ and TNF-α and decreased in the number of M. tuberculosis colony in infected wistar lung.
