Enhancement of allergic skin wheal responses by microwave radiation from mobile phones in patients with atopic eczema/dermatitis syndrome.

abstract：:Bronchial asthma, characterized by eosinophilic inflammation in airways, may involve Th2-type cytokines such as interleukin-5 (IL-5). IL-12, a newly established cytokine, induces IFN-gamma production, which may have a regulatory effect on the production of Th2-type cytokines. We examined the effects of IL-12 on the pr...
