Cytological effects of 60 Hz magnetic fields on human lymphocytes in vitro: sister-chromatid exchanges, cell kin and mitotic rate. Xanya Sofra Weiss

Incubation for 72 h of human peripheral blood cultures in the presence of 60 Hz sinusoidal magnetic fields (MF) magnetic flux densities of 1.0, 1.5, and 2.0 mT led to stimulation of lymphocyte proliferation but had no influence frequency of sister-chromatid exchanges (SCE). The cytotoxic potential of MF combined with the mutagen Mito also was analyzed. An opposite effect between MF exposure and Mitomycin-C treatment in terms of cell kinetics mitotic rate was found, whereas no variation in SCE frequency was observed for this coexposure condition.
