Abstract

The rapid growth of electrooptics and laser technology has increased the possibility of human exposure to optical radiation and concern about health effects. The much attention has to be focused on the creation of the safety program that assures the safe use of lasers taking into account the possible side effects of laser therapy. In order to investigate the imunotropic effect of lasers the experimental model which was close to the therapeutic modes has been used for IR laser (the wavelength 890 nm) and He-Ne laser (the wavelength 633 nm). The immune system underwent changes testifying about the breaches in the processes of maturation and migration of the lymphoid cells, also the alteration of receptors as a sign of the membrane damaging effect of lasers was seen.
