  1. Carcinogenic Potential of Wireless Communication Radiation Investigators: James C. Lin, PhD, Electrical and Computer Engineering; and Bioengineering Prime Grant Support: Magnetic Health Science Foundation • Wide Spread Use of Cell Phone Technology • Concerns about Health and Safety • Plectin is A High Molecular Weight Protein • PlectinImmunoreactivity Follows Brain Injury • Mutation of Plectin Identified With Signs of Neurodegenerative Disorder Immunolabeling of Irradiated Rat Brain Using Monoclonal Antibody, Pletin. • Irradiate Young Adult Rats (300 g) in Plexiglass Holder • Produce Power Deposition Patterns in Rat Brains Comparable to Those in Humans • Brains Were Removed and Incubated • Floating Sections Were Used for Immunocytochemistry • Use Monoclonal Antibody - plectin - Labeling • Examination by Light Microscopy • Immunolabeling of Irradiated Rat Brain Showed Increased GlialFibrillary Acidic Protein (IFAP) • GFAP Plays An Important Role in Glial Reactions After Lesions • Preliminary Results Indicate There is No Difference in Expression Pattern of Plectin Among the Brains Tested at Peak SAR levels of 0, 1.6 and 16 W/kg in the brain. • Additional Experiments to Establish Statistical Validity
