Abstract

The effects of 2.45 GHz microwave irradiation as well as of the combined microwave and 6 MeV accelerated electron beam treatment of the human erythrocyte membranes at liquid nitrogen temperature are presented. The changes in the properties of the erythrocyte membranes were estimated by measuring the haemolysis degree (HD) of the irradiated samples. HD induced by microwave irradiation for 1–2 min irradiation time and 400–500 W microwave power of the installation is about 50% from that of the control sample. Preliminary results on the simultaneous irradiation by both kinds of radiations as well as of the successive irradiation procedure are presented and discussed.
