Abstract

Response of leukocytes to exposure to an external magnetic field with frequency 50 Hz and sinusoidal waveform was investigated in vitro using the leukocyte adherence inhibition (LAI) assay developed as a measure of cell-mediated immunity. Leukocytes taken from healthy humans adhere, but their adherence decreases after 1 hr of exposure to the magnetic field with magnetic induction of 1 and 10 mT. The majority of leukocytes taken from cancer patients before any medical treatment do not adhere, and exposure to the magnetic field increases adherence. Correlation between the LAI assay results and the cell-mediated immunity suggests an effect of magnetic fields on leukocyte immune function in humans.
