    <abstract language="eng">The stimulation or suppression of the immune response may modulate disease free state. Herbal medicine paved way for immunmodulation role in many mmunological disorder. The present study was  aimed to prove the traditional claim on the theimmunomodulatory activity of<em>Avicenniaofficinalis</em>against autoimmune diseases. The<em>Avicenniaofficinalis</em> leaves was authentified and coarsely powdered then extracted successively with  n-hexane,70% hydroalcohol followed by, ethylacetate. The phytoconstituentsofthe three extracts  were analysed . Finally, all were  subjected to (NBT) Nitrobluetetrazolium Assay, Candidacidal assay and Phagocytotic evaluation. The percentage yield and phytoconstituents of the extracts were determined. Among thethree extract, the ethanolic extract and Ethylacetateextractshowed effective immunomodulatory effect by their  suppression of leucocytes and neutrophils. The results of the present study proved the immunomodulatory effect of <em>Avicenniaofficinalis</em> and further studies  are essential to target this species against <em>autoimmune diseases.</em></abstract>
