[Conditions controlling the development of distant intercellular interactions during ultraviolet radiation]

The study is concerned with ascertaining the role of UV radiation in distant intercellular interactions (DII) and the conditions resulting in "MIRROR" CYTOPATHIC EFFECT ("M" CPE). It has been found that the UV radiation-induced extreme state of the cells in a radiant culture produces distantly in an intact detector culture, which has only an optic contact with it, the cytopathic effect (CPE) as a repercussion of a specificity of morphological manifestations imprinted in the affected culture. UV preparadiation of the detector cells aids in manifestation of the "mirror" CPE.
