Abstract

The authors discuss the possibility of stimulating the autoimmune reactions of the organism by microwave irradiation. The immunochemical analysis of protein fractions of blood serum has revealed a destabilization of functional activity of the immune system humoral factors at 500 W/cm2 which is manifested by the formation of a new protein with the immunoglobulin G physico-chemical properties.

Main findings

Immunochemical analysis of blood serum protein fractions reported destabilization of humoral immune system factors at 500 W/cm2, manifested by formation of a new protein with physico-chemical properties of immunoglobulin G. The authors discuss the possibility that microwave irradiation may stimulate autoimmune reactions.

Outcomes measured

autoimmune reactions
antigenic structure of serum proteins
humoral immune factors
formation of new serum protein with IgG physico-chemical properties

Limitations

No details provided on species/population, sample size, exposure frequency, or exposure duration.
Outcome reporting is qualitative in the abstract (limited quantitative data).
