ID Number		414
Study Type		In Vitro
Model		350, 850, 1200 MHz exposure to cell lines and analysis of DNA repair (UV-initiated bioassay)
Details		Human dipliod fibroblast (MRC-5) cells were exposed alone or after UV induction for 1 to 3 hours at 37 or 39 degrees either in a TEM cell to 350 MHz (SAR = 0.4 W/kg), or in an anechoic chamber with a horn antenna to 850 MHz (SAR = 4.5 W/kg) or 1.2 GHz (SAR + 2.7 W/kg). Following exposure, cells were analyzed for effects on induction of DNA repair, ongoing UV-induced DNA repair, and normal semiconservative DNA synthesis. The investigators reported no effects of exposure on DNA repair, either alone or after UV induction, as determined by measure of 3H-thymidine incorporation into DNA.
