The micronucleus test was used tu study the possibility of inducing cross-adaptive response in mouse bone marrow cells in vivo with an 850 nm infrared light modulated by a 101 Hz frequency, emitted by a light therapy device “Kurator”. We demonstrated that this exposure led to a substantial reduction of cytogenetic cell damage produced by further exposure of animals to X-radiation in the dose of 1.5 Gy, i.e. it induced an adaptive response which did not differ by the magnitude and time course from the adaptive response to radiation.
