2nd Department of Internal Medicine, Semmelweis Medical School, Budapest, Hungary.

The effect of 2.45 GHz frequency and 10 mW/cm2 power density microwave irradiation on the in vitro cultured human peripheral lymphocytes blast transformation was examined. In the number of the blast cells we did not find significant difference at cultures irradiated for 1 x 5 hours and 3 x 1 hours as compared to the controls. The number of the blast cells was found to increase when Phytohemagglutinin-stimulated lymphocyte cultures were exposed to repeated irradiation for 6 days (1 hour a day). The microwave irradiation did not influence the degree of the spontaneous blast transformation in any groups.

UI MeSH Term Description Entries
D008213 Lymphocyte Activation Morphologic alteration of small B LYMPHOCYTES or T LYMPHOCYTES in culture into large blast-like cells able to synthesize DNA and RNA and to divide mitotically. It is induced by INTERLEUKINS; MITOGENS such as PHYTOHEMAGGLUTININS, and by specific ANTIGENS. It may also occur in vivo as in GRAFT REJECTION.

D008214 Lymphocytes White blood cells formed in the body's lymphoid tissue. The nucleus is round or ovoid with coarse, irregularly clumped chromatin while the cytoplasm is typically pale blue with azurophilic (if any) granules. Most lymphocytes can be classified as either T or B (with subpopulations of each), or NATURAL KILLER CELLS. Lymphoid Cells,Cell, Lymphoid,Cells, Lymphoid,Lymphocyte,Lymphoid Cell

D010835 Phytohemagglutinins Mucoproteins isolated from the kidney bean (Phaseolus vulgaris); some of them are mitogenic to lymphocytes, others agglutinate all or certain types of erythrocytes or lymphocytes. They are used mainly in the study of immune mechanisms and in cell culture.
