Antitumor effect of coriander honey (500 mg/kg) was investigated in mature mice bearing Ehrlich carcinoma with special reference to immune status. The coriander honey showed decrease in tumor volume, packed cell volume and viable cell count, and increased the non-viable cell count and mean survival time thereby increasing life span of EAC tumor bearing mice. The results of the effect of honey on immunological status in the mice bearing Ehrlich carcinoma observed that the immunoglobulin levels (M, G and A) were raised in all groups if compared with the control group all over the experimental period. The rises were differed according to the treatment. It was clear that the phagocytic activity in mice bearing carcinoma was reduced if compared with the control group while it increased in the treated group with honey. There was reduction in the stimulation indices of stimulation indices of lymphocyte transformation of mice bearing Ehrlich carcinoma. Delayed hypersensitivity skin test revealed that the Ehrlich carcinoma reduced the reaction especially after 72 hours post inoculation with bovine serum albumin. The reaction in the Ehrlich carcinoma and subsequently treated with honey showed a rise in thickness ranging from 0.62 mm skin thickness in case of Ascites where the solid state was more higher 0.73 mm thickness. It could be concluded that, the coriander honey exhibited antitumor effect by increases cell mediated and immunoglobulin levels, in EAC bearing mice.
