Abstract: Quantum electrodynamics (QED) with self-conjugated equations with spinor wave functions for fermion fields is considered. In the low order of the perturbation theory, matrix elements of some of QED physical processes are calculated. The final results coincide with cross-sections calculated in the standard QED. The self-energy of an electron and amplitudes of processes associated with determination of the anomalous magnetic moment of an electron and Lamb shift are calculated. These results agree with the results in the standard QED. Distinctive feature of the developed theory is the fact that only states with positive energies are present in the intermediate virtual states in the calculations of the electron self-energy, anomalous magnetic moment of an electron and Lamb shift. Besides, in equations, masses of particles and antiparticles have the opposite signs.
