| Summary: | In the field of herbal medicine, Mimosa pudica has been discovered to possess
many beneficial properties, including wound-healing, antimicrobial, analgesic,
antivenom, and immunostimmulant activities. The aim of this research is to
explore the capabilities of Mimosa pudica in stimulating the production of
antivenom immunoglobulins in rats immunized with toxoid derived from Naja
sputatrix. The subjects were grouped into five groups: a negative control (C-), a
positive control immunized with toxoid (C+), and treatment groups T1, T2 and T3
immunized with toxoid and given daily oral administration of ethanolic Mimosa
extract with concentrations of 1000, 500 and 250 mg/kg BW respectively for 14
days. Blood sample was taken and the obtained sera were tested with an Enzyme-
Linked Immunosorbent Assay (ELISA) test. The results were analyzed using
statistical ANOVA and Duncan Multiple Range Test. The conclusions of the
research are Mimosa pudica extract can stimulate and increase the production of
antibodies (Ig) in rats immunized with Naja sputatrix toxoid and the optimum
dose for the treatment with Mimosa extract is 250 mg/kg BW. |
