Journal/Book: Arzneimittelforschung 44 (3), 361-366. 1994;

Abstract: Two preparations of Echinacea purpurea and a preparation ofEleutherococcus senticosus increased the in vitro phagocytosis ofCandida albicans by granulocytes and monocytes from healthy donors by30-45%. The chemotactic migration of granulocytes in the Boyden Chamberwas increased by 45% with an Echinacea purpurea extract. The two herbalpreparations had no effect in either direction on intracellular killingof bacteria or yeasts. Echinacea and Eleutherococcus preparations didnot induce in vitro transformation of lymphocytes. The mistel toepreparation examined (Viscum album) did not influence the testedfunctions of granulocytes, monocytes or lymphocytes of healthy donors.Author.
