State University
Receives Grant
The National Institute of
Arthritis, Diabetes, Digestive
and Kidney Diseases has
pledged $400,000 in grant sup
port to North Carolina State
University over the next four
years for a study which will
lead to a better understanding
of infectious disease process,
both in humans and in
animals.
The university has received
$117,000, the first installment
of the grant, which is suppor
ting research in the NCSU
School v of Veterinary
Medicine.
“This is a very basic
study,” Carter said. “We will
be examing the types of im
mune responses which a
mammalian body produces
when pathogens—bacteria,
viruses or parasites—invade
the intestine.
“We will try to learn what
keeps them contained there,
or how they enter the
bloodstream when the im
mune system is overridden
and the person becomes ill,”
he said, “and we hope to learn
how to stimulate the immune
system.
"Gaining this basic infor
mation will give us a better
understanding of the infec
tious disease process in both
animas and humans,” he
said. “It also will give us a
better hope for someday
unraveling the causes of cer
tain incurable diseases, such
as some forms of colitis,
diabetes and arthritis, which
are believed to be caused by
an autoimmune response.
This response occurs, he said,
when the body mistsakes its
own tissue for foreign invader
organisms and mounts an of
fensive against its own cells.
