The role of macrophages in mediating the immunostimulating effects of low-frequency ultrasound

The action of low-frequency ultrasound on the body has been shown to lead to the stimulation of specific immune response, as well as immunological memory cells. The effects of low-frequency ultrasound are seemingly realized through the macrophage system of immunity, i. e. the action of ultrasound leads to the stimulation of the functional activity of macrophages, their metabolism, while blocking the macrophage system of immunity with carraginal abolishing the effects of ultrasound.
