The present research article is directed towards the study the effect of ethanolic extract of Vitex negundo Leaves on neutrophil phagocytic function. The different concentrations (10,100,250,500,1000 g/ml) of ethanol extract of Vitex negundo leaves was subjected to study its effect on different, in vitro methods of phagocytosis such as neutrophil locomotion and chemotaxis test, in vitro Immunostimultant activity by phagocytosis of killed Candida albicans and qualitative nitroblue tetrazolium test using human neutrophils The ethanolic extract of Vitex negundo leaves has stimulated chemo tactic, phagocytic and intercellular killing potency of human neutrophils at the concentration range of 10-1000g/ml. The ethanolic extract of Vitex negundo stimulated cell mediated immune system by increasing neutrophil phagocytic function.
