DEL VALLE PEREZ, Lázaro O et al. Effect of royal jelly on the proliferation of human lymphocytes. Rev Cubana Hematol Inmunol Hemoter [online]. 2001, vol.17, n.1, pp. 31-34. ISSN 1561-2996.

The in vitro effect of royal jelly (RJ) on the lymphocytes of 10 voluntary donors from the Blood Bank of the Institute of Hematology and Immunology was studied by the lymphoblastic transformation test using titriated timidine. 100 mL of the sample (2 x 106 lym/mL) were cultivated under the following experimental conditions: 100 mL of RPMI 1640 supplemented with fetal bovine serum 20 %, double dilutions of RJ (tablet 100 mg) from 1:2 to 1:4096, respectively. No significant statistical differences were found between the counts per minute of the lymphocytes cultivated for 120 minutes with and without RJ dilutions
