Abstract:
Plants from Rwanda used in traditional medicine have been investigated for their influence on lymphocyte proliferation with and without the presence of the mitogen phytohemagglutinin. Phytolacca dodecandra displayed a significant mitogenic effect. Several plants inhibited the lymphocyte proliferation after prestimulation with the mitogen.
