The effects of GSM-modulated microwaves on lymphocyte sub-populations of Sprague-Dawley rats and their normal mitogenic responses were investigated using flow cytometry analysis and a colorimetric method.

No alterations were found in the surface phenotype of splenic lymphocytes or in their mitogenic activity, indicating that low-level pulsed microwaves do not seem to affect the integrity of the immune system.
