ABSTRACT
The effect of 30-min vector potential variation on the phagocytosis of macrophages from laboratory mice was investigated. It was found that the effect changes the characteristics of mice immunity: the quantity and percentage of neutrophils and lymphocytes in the blood, the activity of capture, degranulation, the splitting of bacterial agents, and the dynamics of formation of reactive oxygen species.

The physical properties of the vector potential were considered in terms of the problem of bioactivity of electromagnetic fields. A possible primary mechanism underlying the effect of vector potentials on elementary processes of charge transport were considered by analogy with the well-known Aharonov-Bohms and Josephsons effects. The possibility of using the curl-free vector potential for "force-free" information effect on biochemical processes in the living cell was grounded. The technical possibilities of creation of vector potential free of magnetic field in laboratory are discussed.
