Study Type		In Vitro
Model		1950 MHz (UMTS) exposure to glioma cell lines and analysis of protein expression
Details		M054, T98, and A172 human glioma cell lines were exposed to 1950 MHz (UMTS) at 1 or 10 W/kg for 1 hour, with 43 degrees C for 3 hours used as a positive control. The authors report no increase in hsp27 or hsp70 protein levels or cell localization as observed by immunofluorescent staining and Western blotting, although there was a slight decrease in the expression of p-Hsp27 in the MO54 at 10 W/kg. The authors interpret these findings as no effect of UMTS exposure at the current limits for localized exposure.
