CONCLUSION
Echinacea
has been shown to stimulate macrophages through the MAP kinase signaling
pathway. This is important evidence of the immunostimulatory properties of
Echinacea, which include activating macrophages, resulting in cytokine
production and increased phagocytic abilities. Such evidence is a solid base for
further research into the potential of Echinacea as an immunotherapeutic
compound.
