Effect of visible light on some cellular and immune parameters.

چکیده
The biological effect of visible light of low energy density was investigated in this study. The effects of diffuse (DL) and linearly polarized (LPL) light were compared on models in vitro and in vivo. Experiments in vitro were performed on human lymphocytes to study their blast-transformation and rosette-formation abilities. Both DL and LPL increased the number of blast-transformed cells even in a lymphocyte culture without PHA, and reduced rosette-formation of T lymphocytes. LPL had a more pronounced effect. In vivo exposure to DL and LPL of the spleens of tumour-bearing mice caused the appearance of factor(s) in their serum, inhibiting the incorporation in vitro of [3H]-thymidine into the tumour cells obtained from non-exposed animals. In the other series of experiments serum samples were taken from tumorous animals after the exposure of their spleens to LPL. Following the daily administration of these sera to another group of non-exposed tumorous mice a decreasing tendency of the mitotic kinetics of ascites tumour was observed. The application of visible (preferably linearly polarized) light for the stimulation of human immune competent cells, and clinical trials with extracorporeal irradiation of blood for the promotion of natural defences of an immune-repressed organism are suggested.
