ID Number		623
Study Type		In Vitro
Model		Perform B: 900, 1800 MHz (GSM) exposure to human primary lymphocytes and analysis of chromosome aberrations and DNA damage
Details		Human peripheral blood lymphocytes (n = 14) exposed to 935 or 1800 MHz (GSM) RF for 24 hours at 0 W/kg (sham), 1, or 2 W/kg, either before or after X-rays (1 Gy) to evaluate synergistic effects of ionizing and non-ionizing radiation. Experiments were performed in a waveguide apparatus installed in a tissue culture incubator. Analysis of chromosome aberrations, sister chromatid exchange, micronuclei, and DNA damage by alkaline comet assay was performed. The authors report no effects of RF, either alone or in combination with X-rays. This PERFORM B study was performed in parallel with D. Lloyd at NRPB, UK (ID Number 776)
