Our bodies have a ' defense
system almost as complicated as
r our country's. How our cells send
out defense alerts and fight off
invaders is a subject captivating
medical researchers.
What happens when we
breathe in invaders like TB
germs, cigarette smoke, cold
viruses, pollutant particles? One
researcher is investigating the
activities of one major line of
defense in the lungs, the
macrophages. Macrophages are
scavenger cells that literally eat
germs, viruses and other
assaulters. The Investigator is
trying to find out exactly how they
spring into action and why they
often fail to digest and conquer.
Another researcher is exploring
how the macrophages fight off TB
germs in particular. When the
macrophages alone gulp down the
.TB germs, the germs simply keep
on mnItiplying inside the
macrophage. But when the
macrophages join forces with
smaller, white blood cells, then
the macrophages develop the
power to digest the TB germs and
keep them from reproducing,
"If you can determine by
cellular structure which people
will have trouble fighting off TB,
the Researcher says, "you can
single out those people ahead of
time as high risks and take steps
to protect them," Taking a
special kind of pill can help these
high-risk people avoid getting the
disease.
