Recent theoretical scenarios propose that quantum gravity effects maymanifest at LEP energies by means of gravitons that couple to Standard Modelparticles and propagate into extra space dimensions. These predictions arechecked against the most recent experimental results on photon, W and Z pairproduction. No deviations from the Standard Model expectations are found andlimits of the order of 1 TeV on the scale of these models are set.Comment: 6 pages, 1 figur
