The present study was undertaken to explore the effect of the essential oil isolated from the buds of Eugenia caryophyllata on some immunological parameters. Humoral immunity was assessed by measuring the hemagglutination titre to sheep red blood cells and delayed type hypersensitivity was assessed by measuring foot pad thickness. Clove oil administration produced a significant increase in the primary as well as secondary humoral immune response. In addition, it also produced a significant decrease in foot pad thickness compared with the control group. Thus, these results suggest that clove oil can modulate the immune response by augmenting humoral immunity and decreasing cell mediated immunity.
本研究旨在探讨丁香花蕾精油对某些免疫学参数的影响。通过测量对绵羊红细胞的血凝滴度评估体液免疫，通过测量足垫厚度评估迟发型超敏反应。与对照组相比，丁香油给药后初级和次级体液免疫反应均显著增加。此外，与对照组相比，它还导致足垫厚度显著降低。因此，这些结果表明丁香油可以通过增强体液免疫和降低细胞介导免疫来调节免疫反应。
