Study Type		In Vivo
Model		148, 2450 MHz (CW) exposure to mice and analysis of immune function
Details		C3H mice were exposed to 148 MHz (CW) RF (beginning on day 4-7 post partum) for 1 hr/day, 5 days/week, for 10 weeks at an SAR of 0.013 W/kg whole body. No effects on growth or hematocrit, leukocyte, or erythrocyte counts over the 10 week exposure period. In related studies using human marrow, primary cells were exposed to 2450 MHz (CW) microwaves for 15 minutes at 0.062 to 2.0 W/kg in a temperature controlled waveguide system and analyzed for proliferation. The authors report a small reduction in neutrophil colony number at the highest exposure levels, and suggest it was not related to temperature rise or cell cycle stage, and that it was irreversible.
