Immunomodulation is a process which can modify the immune system of an organism by intruding with its function. Medicinal herbs and their bioactive component had indicated to be a crucial source of immunomodulators. Research has proven that the herbal preparation from plant can be safer and effective rather than conventional medicines. Objective: In this study, we want to determine the effect of Gynura procumbens aqueous extraction on Interleukin-2 expression in Peripheral Blood Mononuclear Cells. Method: Three different doses (50, 200 and 800 μg/ml) of Gynura procumbens are cultured on PBMCs with or without inhibitors (CLI-095 and Polymyxin B sulfate) to determine the expression of the IL-2 using Luminex assay.
