On the Link between Ellagic Acid and the Immune Balance between Human Mononuclear and Colon Carcinoma Cells

Hanna Bessler and Meir Djaldetti

Pomegranate and particularly its phenolic compound ellagic acid (EA) have been well renowned as a therapeutic remedy for a long list of illnesses including inflammation and cancer. The beneficial activity of EA has been attributed to a number of factors comprising its immunomodulatory effect. Our aim was to examine the effect of EA on the immune relationship between human peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMC) and colon cancer cells from two human colon carcinoma cell lines.
