Abstract :
The present study is designed to evaluate the effect of low level laser irradiation on the immune system when administered intravenously. (10) Adult local rabbits used in this study, they were divided in to two cqual groups (control & treated with low level laser) they were anaesthetised generally and the site of the operation which was the medial aspect of the left thigh prepared to reach the femoral vein from where blood samples obtained from all the animals and considered as (standard readings). The blood of the animals of the treated group irradiated with a diode laser, its encrgy reached the blood via a libre optic introduced to the femoral vein through a tine canula fixed in its end, after that a line catheter lixed in to the femoral vein of all tho animals and blood samples obtained for the periods (0.5, 1, 2, 2.5, 3, 6, 9, 12, 15, 18, 21, 24 hours) from the beginning of the operation in the control group and after irradiation of the blood in the treated group. The readings obtained for the periods from (0.5- 12 hours) revealed gradual signilicill increase in the level of the immunogloblines (IgM & lgG) in the serum followed by a platcau continued to the readings of (21 hours), and little decrease at the readings of (24 hours). The study showed that irradiation of the blood enhanced the immunological properties significantly and this appeared through the increase of the level of the (IgM & IgG) which are the most important members in the primary and secondary immunological response respectively.
