        <p>In the present study we focused on effect of  ethyl acetate fraction purified from stylissa carteri a  marine sponge collected from Andaman on human  Blood PBMC and  skin keratinocytes from psoriasis patients. The ethyl acetate fraction of stylissa carteri, a marine sponge collected from Andaman and nicobar islands,   was found to exhibit   decreased human skin keratinocyte count  and   human PBMC count in Blood. We also observed the elevation of keratinocyte count as well as PBMC count in various  in vitro mitogens  such as Con A, PHA, PMA induced  cell proliferative responses of  psoriatic humans.  The ethyl acetate fraction of stylissa carteri, which then inhibits the immune mediated skin destruction, which occurs in  the pathogenesis of psoriatic patients. However, the ethyl acetate fraction of stylissa carteri In vito treatment of psoriatic humans skin cells and PBMC reduced considerably the increase of   cell proliferative response comparative to the normal levels. Human PBMC are proven to be valuable research programmed by the study of pathogenic mechanism of this diseases as well as for testing new therapies</p>
