Possible humoral mechanism of 2450-MHz microwave-induced increase in complement receptor positive cells

These studies indicate that the increase in the frequency of complement receptor-positive (CR+) spleen cells observed 6 days after a 30-min exposure to 2450-MHz microwaves is not the result of microwave-induced alterations of lymphocyte recirculation patterns, but is mediated by a soluble, humoral factor produced by cells within the spleen.
