The aqueous extract of the aerial roots the Indian Banyan, Ficus benghalensis L. (Family: Moraceae) was evaluated for its effect on both specific and non-specific immunity. This extract exhibited a significant increase in percentage phagocytosis by human neutrophils in the in vitro tests. It exhibited promising immunostimulant activity at doses of 50, 100, 200 and 400 mg/kg body weight in SRBC induced hypersensitivity reaction and hemagglutination reaction in rats. The aqueous extract was found to stimulate the cell mediated and antibody mediated immune responses.
对印度榕树（Ficus benghalensis L.，桑科）气生根的水提取物进行了其对特异性和非特异性免疫作用的评估。在体外试验中，该提取物使人类中性粒细胞的吞噬百分比显著增加。在大鼠的SRBC诱导的超敏反应和血凝反应中，它在50、100、200和400mg/kg体重剂量下表现出有前景的免疫刺激活性。发现该水提取物可刺激细胞介导的免疫反应和抗体介导的免疫反应。
