The aim of the work was to study the effect of 5 herbal remedies with known immunostimulatory activity (Padma 28, Immunal forte, Reumaherb, Argoeleuter, Bioaron C) on neovascular reaction induced in the skin of Balb/c mice after grafting of human kidney cancer tissue homogenate or isolated tumor cells. Mice were fed remedies for 3 days following tumor grafting. Then, mice were sacrificed and newly formed blood vessels were counted in dissection microscope on the inner skin surface. Results: All tested remedies decreased cutaneous angiogenesis induced by human kidney cancer homogenate. In the case of cells isolated from tumor tissue, only Immunal forte diminished neovascular reaction.
