ID Number		397
Study Type		In Vitro
Model		900, 1800 MHz (GSM), 2450 MHz (CW) exposure to human lymphocytes and analysis of chromosome aberrations and DNA damage
Details		Human primary lymphocytes exposed to 2450 MHz (CW) for 20 minutes at 104 - 200 W/kg were analyzed for chromosome aberrations and sister chromatid exchanges. No evidence of cytogenetic damage was observed, although mild temperature increases due to the microwave exposure were reported. In a related study initiated as a PERFORM B project, performed in parallel with C. Marino at ENEA, Italy (ID Number 623), human peripheral blood lymphocytes are exposed to 900 and 1800 MHz (GSM) RF. Endpoints examined include chromosome aberrations, MN, PI, and DNA damage by alkaline comet assay.
