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).
