Investigation of the immunological effect of fermented epilobium angustifolium extracts at the cell level

Epilobium angustifolium has been traditionally used to treat a number of diseases. The mode of action of Epilobium angustifolium extracts is still unknown. The aim of this study is to identify the influence of various commercially available extracts of fermented Epilobium angustifolium at the cellular level. Water and ethanol extracts of Epilobium angustifolium, as well as polar and nonpolar fractions were tested on cell level in the range of concentrations between 3 and 1000mkg / ml. It was shown that various fermented Epilobium angustifolium extracts could affect on cell proliferation and apoptosis of primary human lymphocytes.
