Quantification of interleukin (IL-12) in peripheral blood mononuclear cells treated with ethanolic extraction of gynura procumbens / Nurul Nadirah Nadzri

Gynura procumbens is an indigenous plant of southern Asia that has been traditionally use for anti-hyperglycaemic, anti-inflammation, anti-hyperlipidemia and anti-cancer. The aim of this study was to investigate interleukin-12 (IL-12) level in peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMC) treated with e...
