Carcinogenic Potential of Wireless Communication Radiation

Investigate the potential carcinogenic effects of wireless communication radiation on the brain using plectin immunoreactivity. Preliminary results suggest no difference in plectin expression at varying radiation levels. Further experiments are needed to confirm statistical validity.

  1. Carcinogenic Potential of Wireless Communication Radiation Investigators: James C. Lin, PhD, Electrical and Computer Engineering; and Bioengineering Prime Grant Support: Magnetic Health Science Foundation • Wide Spread Use of Cell Phone Technology • Concerns about Health and Safety • Plectinis A High Molecular Weight Protein • PlectinImmunoreactivity Follows Brain Injury • Mutation of Plectin Identified With Signs of Neurodegenerative Disorder Immunolabeling of Irradiated Rat Brain Using Monoclonal Antibody, Pletin. • Irradiate Young Adult Rats (300 g) in Plexiglass Holder • Produce Power Deposition Patterns in Rat Brains Comparable to Those in Humans • Brains Were Removed and Incubated • Floating Sections Were Used for Immunocytochemistry • Use Monoclonal Antibody - plectin - Labeling • Examination by Light Microscopy • Immunolabeling of Irradiated Rat Brain Showed Increased GlialFibrillary Acidic Protein (IFAP) • GFAP Plays An Important Role in Glial Reactions After Lesions • Preliminary Results Indicate There is No Difference in Expression Pattern of Plectin Among the Brains Tested at Peak SAR levels of 0, 1.6 and 16 W/kg in the brain. • Additional Experiments to Establish Statistical Validity
