Author(s): Dr S Subeenabegum, Dr PS Navaraj
Abstract: The fresh water cat fish
Mystus keletius was injected with the methanolic extract (water soluble fraction) of
Solanum trilobatum and
Ocimum sanctum alone and in combination in 3mg, 30mg.300mg/Kg body weight. Serum was collected every 7 days interval. Fishes were fed with normal diet for the entire period of the experiment. The nonspecific immune response such as Total WBC count, phagocytic activity and serum antiprotease activity were observed. They were enhanced (
p<0.05) in fish injected with methanolic extract (water soluble fraction)
S.trilobatum and
O. sanctum alone and in combination than control group. Highest level of WBC count, phagocytic activity and serum antiprotease activity were confirmed when the fish injected with the mixed extract of 1:1 ratio of
S.trilobatum and
O.sanctum in 30mg/kg (b.w).The effect of mixture of methanolic extract of medicinal plant in
