50 Hz magnetic fields of constant or fluctuating intensity: effects on immunocyte hsp70 in the mussel Mytilus galloprovincialis.
Effects of a single 30 min exposure to a 50 Hz, 400 microT sinusoidal extremely low frequency magnetic field (ELF MF) on hsp70 expression in immunocytes from the bivalve Mytilus galloprovincialis was investigated using RT-PCR and immunoblot approaches. The results indicate that in M. galloprovincialis immunocytes hsp70 expression was unaltered at both transcriptional and translational level after exposure to constant or fluctuating intensity MFs.
