Microwaves, Viral Infection, and Human Leukocyte Function.
Abstract
Uninfected (control) and in vitro influenza virus-infected human mononuclear leukocytes were exposed to 2450 MHz radiofrequency radiation (RFR) as continuous waves of pulse modulated at 60 Hz or 16 Hz, at a specific absorption rate of 4 mW/ml. Such exposures produced no significant effects on leukocyte viability, or on mitogen-stimulated DNA synthesis or total protein synthesis by either uninfected or influenza virus-infected leukocutes when compared to sham RFR exposed cohorts of cells. In addition, there were no apparent alterations in such immune response when leukocytes were obtained from individuals challenged in vivo with influenza virus and were then exposed in vitro to RFR. Keywords: Microwaves.
