- Abstract
The article focuses on a study related to the suppression of cell mediated immunity following oral feeding of mice with palmyrah. Inbred male mice weighing approximately 30 grams were used for the study. Patmyrah flour was prepared by grinding boiled and sun-dried young shoots which had been purchased from the market in the form in which they are normally consumed by humans. The mice consumed the same amount of the flour mixture each day. Mice fed on the flour pellet mixture for 2 days prior to sensitization showed a 40-50 percent reduction in their ability to mount a delayed-type hypersensitivity response to sheep red blood cells.
