  • Zingiber cassumunar is potentially an immunomodulator. The aim of study is to determine the immunomodulatory activity of n-hexane fraction of Zingiber cassumunar ethanol extracts with a measurement of phagocytic activity and lymphocyte proliferation in vitro. Macrophage cells are isolated from peritoneum of mice. Cells were planted and added to latex and n-hexane fraction of Zingiber cassumunar ethanol extract and then painted using 20% giemsa. Lymphocyte cells are isolated from lymph. Cells were planted and given n-hexane fraction of Zingiber cassumunar ethanol extract. Incubate for 3 days using 5% CO2 incubator at 37°C. Data were analysed using SPSS with a confidence level of 95%. The results of the average percentage of phagocytic activity and phagocytic index of n-hexane fraction of Zingiber cassumunar ethanol extract of 0.025 μg/ml, 0.050 μg/ml, 0.100 μg/ml and controls were respectively 5.247% and 5.311%, 7.475% and 7.720%, 10.593% and 11.393% and 15.989% and 19.317%. The results of the average lymphocyte proliferation absorbance of 0.025 μg/ml, 0.050 μg/ml, 0.100 μg/ml and controls respectively are 0.107, 0.127, 0.126 and 0.149. The n-hexane fraction of Zingiber cassumunar ethanol extract can reduce the phagocytic activity of macrophages (p<0.05) and lymphocyte proliferation (p<0.05) in mice in vitro.
