Bisht, K. S., Moros, E. G., Straube, W. L., Baty, J. D. and Roti Roti, J. L. The Effect of 835.62 MHz FDMA or 847.74 MHz CDMA Modulated Radiofrequency Radiation on the Induction of Micronuclei in C3H 10T½ Cells. Radiat. Res. 157, 506–515 (2002). To determine if radiofrequency (RF) radiation induces the formation of micronuclei, C3H 10T½ cells were exposed to 835.62 MHz frequency division multiple access (FDMA) or 847.74 MHz code division multiple access (CDMA) modulated RF radiation. After the exposure to RF radiation, the micronucleus assay was performed by the cytokinesis block method using cytochalasin B treatment. The micronuclei appearing after mitosis were scored in binucleated cells using acridine orange staining. The frequency of micronuclei was scored both as the percentage of binucleated cells with micronuclei and as the number of micronuclei per 100 binucleated cells. Treatment of cells with cytochalasin B at a concentration of 2 μg/ml for 22 h was found to yield the maximum number of ...
