The impact of lower induction values of 50 Hz external electromagnetic fields on in vitro T lymphocyte adherence capabilities.

Our research thus far has concerned the impact of external electromagnetic fields (50 Hz) and low (0.01–10 mT) induction on adherence capabilities of T lymphocytes obtained from the blood of patients with head and neck tumors. We know that the in vitro adherence capability of T lymphocytes towards surfaces in cancer patients is less than that of control. Previously, we have found that exposure to electromagnetic fields (50 Hz/0.01–10 mT) increases the capability of T lymphocytes, in larynx/pharynx cancer patients, to adhere in vitro to surfaces, achieving almost physiological values, in not only pre-treatment patients but also those receiving treatment in the course of follow-up. The capability of T lymphocytes in controls (voluntary blood donors) to adhere to surfaces was also increased (50 Hz/0.01–0.5 mT).The present study concentrates on the significance of the level of electromagnetic field induction in order to determine whether low induction values can restore T lymphocytes adherence capabilities.Te...
