Abstract

CBA male mice and albino mongrel rats were exposed to microwave radiation (2375 MHz) of various intensity during 1 to 3 months. The T-system immunity status was studied in vivo and in vitro. Substantial changes have been revealed in the cell immunity system, resulting from the long-term action of microwaves of a non-thermal intensity, and latent lesions manifested with functional loads.

Main findings

Mice and rats chronically exposed to 2375 MHz microwave radiation for 1–3 months showed substantial changes in the cellular (T-system) immunity system. The abstract reports non-thermal intensity exposure and notes latent lesions that became apparent with functional loads.

Outcomes measured

T-system immunity status
cellular immunity indices

Limitations

Sample size not reported in abstract.
Exposure intensity/dose metrics (e.g., power density, SAR) not provided.
Specific immune endpoints and quantitative results not described.
Details of study design (randomization, blinding, controls) not reported.
