Abstract:
The effect of low-intensity microwaves (8.15-18 GHz, 0.3 or 1 microW/cm2, 1.5 h daily for 30 days) on antibody production in healthy male NMRI mice after immunization with affinity-purified carboanhydrase isolated from bovine erythrocytes with and without Freund's adjuvant was studied. It was found that exposure to microwaves leads to an increase in the concentration of antibodies in blood plasma, the stimulating effect being more pronounced in the primary immune response. It is assumed that the effect of enhancement of the immune response by the action of centimeter microwaves can be used in the adjuvant therapy.
