Abstract
Contents of Baptisia tinctoria have been evaluated for their immunostimulating capability. Aqueous-ethanolic extracts
had a low toxicity in regard to interference with the DNS-metabolism. Fractions of
these extracts, which had been purified by column chromatography, exhibited a significant
potential for lymphoblastoid transformation. It could also be shown that the production
of antibodies against sheep red blood cells was enhanced by polysaccharide fractions
from Baptisia tinctoria.
