Propolis possesses variable biological activities activity was investigated on antiviral, antibacterial, fungicidal, anti-inflammatory, antitumor, antiparasitic, antioxidant, cytokines and immune response. Immunomodulatory and antitumor properties, considering propolis effects on antibody production and on different cells of the immune system which involving the innate and adaptive immune response.
