Objective: To evaluate the impact of laser irradiation of human T-cell lymphocyte in culture to determine the photobiomodulatory effects of such irradiation on gene expression, and the release of growth factors and cytokines.

Methods: The experimental study was conducted from November 2021 to April 2022 at the Postgraduate Anatomy Laboratory, Mustansiriyah University, Baghdad, Iraq, and comprised human blood samples T-cell lymphocytes were extracted and irradiated, followed by the extraction of ribonucleic acid to assess the effect of laser on gene expression of cytokines, interlukine-2 and interferon-gamma. A 589nm yellow light low-level laser beam from a diode pumping solid state laser was used at doses 30J/cm2, 50J/cm2 and 70J/cm2 for an exposure time of 15 minutes.
