Effect of black tea extract on some immunological aspects

Abstract EN

Camellia sinesis is one of the most important plants were used in the life.

The important of tea plant varies with its used , antioxidant ,antibacterial ,lowering of plasma cholesterol levels and activation of leucocytes. Oraly and injection method were used for to detect the immunological activity in rabbit.

Animals were given 5 ml of extract orally and 0.5 ml of extract mixed with 0.5 ml of oil adjuvant by injection . The effect of tea extract varies in according to method at P ≥ 0.05 .The effect was shown specific mucosal and systemic antibodies at higher titers, 32 ,16 in mucosal and 320,160 in systemic .Significant variable in orally methods than injection at P ≥ 0.05 .Lymphocyte inhibitor factor (LIF) was stimulated in systemic and mucosal by tea extract ,there some variable between orally and injection method .

Total protein was increased compared with control, while mucosal protein was decreased compared with control ,so the comparative between two methods are variable at P ≥ 0.05.
