[Helium-neon laser radiation as an inducer of interferon formation]. 1994

G N Leonova, and O S Maĭstrovskaia, and V M Chudnovskiĭ

Helium-neon laser has first been shown to be an active interferon inducer. Marked induction was found at various radiation power (1, 6-7, 20 MW) and at various radiation exposures: from 1 sec to 1 min both for single (up to 512 units/ml) and repeated (up to 1024 units/ml) effects on leukocytes of the donor blood. The major part of interferon was shown to be acid-labile and a lesser part was acid-stable alpha- and gamma-interferons. The above data are of both practical and theoretical importance for the elucidation of the pathogenetic mechanisms of positive therapeutic effect of this light on living beings.

UI MeSH Term Description Entries
D007371 Interferon-gamma The major interferon produced by mitogenically or antigenically stimulated LYMPHOCYTES. It is structurally different from TYPE I INTERFERON and its major activity is immunoregulation. It has been implicated in the expression of CLASS II HISTOCOMPATIBILITY ANTIGENS in cells that do not normally produce them, leading to AUTOIMMUNE DISEASES. Interferon Type II,Interferon, Immune,gamma-Interferon,Interferon, gamma,Type II Interferon,Immune Interferon,Interferon, Type II
D007834 Lasers An optical source that emits photons in a coherent beam. Light Amplification by Stimulated Emission of Radiation (LASER) is brought about using devices that transform light of varying frequencies into a single intense, nearly nondivergent beam of monochromatic radiation. Lasers operate in the infrared, visible, ultraviolet, or X-ray regions of the spectrum.

D016898 Interferon-alpha One of the type I interferons produced by peripheral blood leukocytes or lymphoblastoid cells. In addition to antiviral activity, it activates NATURAL KILLER CELLS and B-LYMPHOCYTES, and down-regulates VASCULAR ENDOTHELIAL GROWTH FACTOR expression through PI-3 KINASE and MAPK KINASES signaling pathways.
