ABSTRACT
Contrary to bone marrow exposure, microwave therapy of the thymus (80 mW/cm2) in induction sensitization results in inhibition of the production of IgE-antibodies to staphylococcus Cowan. The process, studied in experiment, rested on microwave induction of the function of IgE-antibody formation of T suppressors.

A study was made of the effects of microwave irradiation of different intensity within decimeter and centimeter ranges in vitro on the guinea-pig thymocyte-induced receptor expression to their own and rabbit erythrocytes. Besides, effects of decimeter waves on mice thymocyte-induced expression of Thy-1 antigen were studied. Microwaves were found to modulate the thymocyte-induced expression of the membrane surface markers under study.

Sensitized lymphocytes capable of fixing the cardiac antigen and its components, myoglobin and actomyosin, are detected in acute myocardial infarction. Their amount increases particularly sharply in the first 3 or 4 weeks after the infarction, which is indicative of the high activity of the cell link of the autoimmune process.
