title: [Immunobiological effects of a decimeter-range electromagnetic field in its exposure over the area of the thyroid gland].
abstract: The immunological effect caused by the influence of the local action of the ultrahigh frequency (UHF) electromagnetic field on the projection zone of the thyroid gland was studied. The action of UHF waves shown to be capable of producing both immunostimulating and immunosuppressing effects; their manifestation depended on the period of immunogenesis, affected by the action of UHF waves. The synthesis of nonspecific immunoglobulins showed greater resistance to the suppressive action of UHF waves than the synthesis of specific immunoglobulins, i.e. antibodies. The activation of the thyroid gland under the influence of UHF waves occurred before the immunostimulating effect was observed.
