Free Radical Release and HSP70 Expression in Two Human Immune-Relevant Cell Lines after Exposure to 1800 MHz Radiofrequency Radiation.

View Original AbstractHuman immune cells showed no increase in free radicals or stress proteins when exposed to cell phone frequency radiation up to regulatory limits.
Plain English Summary
Researchers exposed human immune cells to 1800 MHz radiofrequency radiation (the same frequency used by GSM cell phones) at various power levels to see if it would trigger free radical production or stress protein responses. They found no significant effects on either measure, even at exposure levels up to 2.0 W/kg. This suggests that RF radiation at these levels doesn't cause oxidative stress in these particular immune cell types.
Study Details
The goal of this study was to investigate whether radiofrequency (RF) electromagnetic-field (EMF) exposure at 1800 MHz causes production of free radicals and/or expression of heat-shock proteins (HSP70) in human immune-relevant cell systems.
Human Mono Mac 6 and K562 cells were used to examine free radical release after exposure to incubato...
Heat and PMA treatment induced a significant increase in superoxide radical anions and in ROS produc...
To determine the involvement of heat-shock proteins as a possible inhibitor of free radical production, we investigated the HSP70 expression level after different RF EMF exposures; no significant effects were detected
