To examine potential effects of radiofrequency exposure on functions of human mononuclear leukocytes which were previously exposed to a common pathogen, specifically influenza virus.
A standard measurement of immune responsiveness was used (mitogen-induced proliferation). Such a response is commonly depressed by in vivo influenza virus infection or by exposure of human leukocytes to the virus in vitro. Thus any synergistic or counteracting effect due to radiation might be accentuated and identified more readily than with radiation of previously unchallenged leukocytes.

The exposures produced no significant effects on leukocyte viability or on mitogen-stimulated DNA synthesis by either uninfected or influenza virus-infected leukocytes when compared to sham-exposed cells.
