<title>ANTI VENOM AND IMMUNOMODULATORY FUNCTIONS OF CORALLOCARPUS EPIGAEUS L. </title>
<abstract>Venom neutralizing activity of crude root extract of  lessThan i greaterThan Corallocarpus lessThan /i greaterThan   lessThan i greaterThan epigaeus  lessThan /i greaterThan was determined by  lessThan i greaterThan in vivo  lessThan /i greaterThan procedure recommended by WHO. Neutralization assays for antivenom is necessary to replace the  lessThan i greaterThan in vitro  lessThan /i greaterThan neutralization assay. Albino mice were used to estimate venom neutralizing activity of tuber extract.  lessThan i greaterThan Corallocarpus lessThan /i greaterThan   lessThan i greaterThan epigaues lessThan /i greaterThan  tuber extract preparations exhibit immunomodulatory properties. This extract strongly induces the proliferation of PBMC. The stimulatory potency of tuber extract for PBMC, from two different groups was examined. The present findings indicate that a mitogen associated antigen from  lessThan i greaterThan C. epigaues  lessThan /i greaterThan tuber extract is able to activate PBMC from healthy and allergic individuals, thereby demonstrating sensitization to probably highly conserved plant antigens.</abstract>
