Abstract
This study aimed to evaluate the immunological potential of Plantago lanceolata through determination of (total and absolute count of white blood cell, total count of red blood cell and total count of hemoglobin). The results indicated the ability of plant extract to modulate toxic effect of methotrexate on albino mice by enhancing immunity through all tested parameters All this effect due to the presence of chemical active constituents of plant especially (flavonoid and alkaloids).
Highlights
The widespread use of Complementary and Alternative Medicine (CAM) is a major importance to today's health care consumers, practitioners, researchers, and policy makers
This study aimed to evaluate the immunological potential of Plantago lanceolata through determination of
An increase in the white blood cell (WBC) count was observed in mice administered lantago lanceolata, the measurement of WBC was 11500 cell and this can suggests that Plantago lanceolata extract contains terpenes
