Cell phone radiation at safety limit levels didn't impair immune system antibody production in this 4-week mouse study.

Plain English Summary

Summary written for general audiences

Researchers exposed mice to cell phone radiation (900 MHz GSM signals) for 2 hours daily over 4 weeks to test whether it affects immune system function, specifically B-cells that produce antibodies to fight infections. They found no changes in B-cell development, antibody production, or immune responses compared to unexposed mice. This suggests that this level of cell phone radiation exposure doesn't impair the immune system's ability to protect against disease.

Study Details

We examined the effects of in vivo exposure to a GSM-modulated 900 MHz RF field on B-cell peripheral differentiation and antibody production in mice.

Our results show that exposure to a whole-body average specific absorption rate (SAR) of 2 W/kg, 2 h...

In conclusion, our results do not indicate any effects of GSM-modulated RF radiation on the B-cell peripheral compartment and antibody production and thus provide no support for health-threatening effects.
