Immune system is the main defense mechanism of our body. Strengthening of the immune system is nowadays the major research target of the researchers, as there is a dire need of new safe, economical immune stimulant which is readily available to the common people. Currently, the plant Prickly Pear is reported to possess Immuno-Stimulant activity due to its phytochemicals. The aim of the research was toevaluate immuno-stimulant action of Prickly pear fruit juice in vitro. Prickly pear fruits are collected from local market of Tramba (Gujarat-India). The seed free juice of the fruits prepared and immunostimulant action of prickly pear is evaluated using In-vitro Phagocytosis test. Confirmation of immuno-stimulant action of prickly pear is done using nitro blue tetrazolium dye test. Anti-oxidant and free radical scavenging potential of Prickly pear perusing DPPH and H 2 O 2 test. And Statistical analysis is performed.The results of Phagocytic activity data indicate were significantly different when compared with control and level of significance which was P>0.001. As per DPPH model, indicate that result data were significantly different when compared with control and level of significance which was P>0.001. H 2 O 2 model indicate that data were significantly different when compared with control and level of significance which was P>0.001. Thus, Immunostimulant and free radical scavenging activity were confirmed. According to the obtained results, we can conclude that prickly pear possesses strong immune-stimulant potential as well as better free radical scavenging potential.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
