The aim of the study was to explore the immunomodulatory activity of ethanolic extract (CPE) of Calotropis procera Ait. root bark in experimental mice. Ethanolic extract of the root bark of C. procera was evaluated for immunomodulatory activity using immunological tests in mice, viz. the humoral mediated antibody titre (AT), delayed-type hypersensi...
