Extremely High-Frequency
Electromagnetic Fields
in Immune and
Anti-Inammatory Response
Andrew B. Gapeyev
The chapter is devoted to research into the mechanisms of immunomodulating and anti-
inammatory effects of low-intensity extremely high-frequency electromagnetic radiation
(EHF EMR). With the use of immunological tests, it was shown that pronounced immunotropic
action of low-intensity EHF EMR is expressed as modication of reactions of cellular and non-
specic immunity. It was revealed that the exposure of animals to low-intensity EHF EMR
(42.2 GHz, 0.1 mW/cm
2
, 20min) causes changes in chromatin organization of lymphoid cells,
reduces ...
