Abstract
In experiments on albino Wistar rats the autoimmune reactions were shown to be stimulated by the effect of microwaves of 50 and 500 microW/cm2. The authors showed the possibility of the autoimmunity simulation by immunization of intact animals by the brain tissue of exposed albino rats. This process was dependent on the microwave radiation intensity.
