Abstract

Background: Pollen and pollen products have a long history of use in traditional herbal medicine and have been reported to display a wide range of antimicrobial, antioxidative, anti-inflammatory, antioxidant, and hepatoprotective activities. This study aimed to investigate the role of date palm pollen (DPP) ethanolic extract on the formation of granuloma induced by Schistosoma mansoni soluble egg antigen (SEA) in vitro.
